PERSONAL QUARREL
CAUSE OF MASSACRE
Details of Terrible Tragedy IL
China Are Rtc5lve0.
SECRETARY ROOT GETS REPORT
Because of Some Misunderstanding Be-
tween Missionaries and Natives the
Trouble Arose and Caused Chinese to
Attack and Kill Americans.

Washington Nov. 16.-Nb boycott;
no race feeling but a mere personal
quarrel was the cause of the death of
the FIVE American Presbyterian mis-
sionaries recently at Lienchow, in Chi
ma. according 10 the report made today
10 Secretary Root by Sir Caentung Ii
ans Cheng, the Chinese minister here.
Tne minister had with him when ne
came TO the state department a copy
of a long telegram from the vicerOy
of Canton. bearing on this subject The
yicerOy reported that Dr. Macnle and
Miss Patterson, two of the missiOna-
ries who escaped massacre by reason
Of taeir temporary absence from Lien
chow. had just reached Canton under
q strong Chinese guard. According to
DR.. Machle and his Investigations were
Shared in by the American consuis'
agent the anti-American boycott had
nothing 10 do with the tragedy. and in
fact, that movement had caused no
feeling at all in tnat section of China.
The trouble arose from the holding
0f a Chinese festival and fair As an
incident to this fair the Chinese erect
I'd a pavilion or booth which the mis-
s;ondries claimed Oyerlapped the mis-
sion hospital compound several feet
The missionaries ordered the remova.
of that part of the building but before
This request could be complied witt
one of the missionaries went into the
grounds and seized several small can
non with which salutes were being
fired as a part of the festival These
cannons were neld to be sacred instru-
ments by the Chinese. They were fine
ly chased with symbolic designs and
SOrSeOusly Ornamented for tnis partic
ular occasion. The Chinese believed
that each discharge blew away or de-
strCyed certain malignant spirits nov
ering about the place. Consequently.
according to the report, the seizure OF
the cannons created at first consterna
ton and then anger and the ill-feelins
eliminated in the attack upon the mis-
siOnaries and their death.
