aries who fed are returning. 1t is stated
that the Chinese governor has admitted
his guilt in falling to preserve the peace

that the French missionaries invited the
magistrate TO a feast and urged him to
sign papers promising an indemnity for
property wrecked last year and 10 release
six Catholics charged with murder.
The magistrate declined TO do so and
no was fatally stabbed. II Is reported
that England will demand for the murder
of the Kingnan family the punishment
or the murderers, an Indemnity and the
privilege OF stationing gunboats on Po-

The French demands have not yet been
formulated. There was no loss OF Amer
lean life or property. \ recent imperial
decree sternly commands the provincial
authorities 20 protect foreign property
