Shanghai, Feb 2S.- Somewhat con
fused reports have reached here of a
massacre of missionaries at Nan
chang, province of Kiangsi AS near
~ as can be ascertained, six mission
aries were killed and one child OF an

chang the priests invited the magis-
trate to a banquet, when they tried to
compel him to sign an agreement for
the payment of large indemnity for
the destruction OF Catholic mission
property. According to one report
the magistrate became indignant and
committed suicide, but the Chinese
assert that a priest
Attacked and Killed Him.
The officials, fearing to arrest the
priest, called a public meeting, where
upon the Catholics, according to the
Chinese version Of the trouble, set
fire to their own premises. The pub
lie meeting Of the Chinese developed
into riot. in which, according to one
story, six Of the catholics were killed,
though later account says the num-
Der of Catholics killed was four. H.
G. Kingman, Protestant missionary,
/ and his wife also were killed and one
Of their two children was wounded,
the other being rescued. The only
Protestant missign buildings de-
stroyed were those of the Plymouth

CHINA ACTING IN BAD FAITH.
President Is Suspicious Of Assurances
Sent From Pekin.


Washington, Feb %. - President
Roosevelt has grown suspicious of the
good faith of the Chinese government
as a result of the policy of duplicity
which it seems to be pursuing. He
has been given assurances through
Minister Rockhill which are not in
keeping with the acts OF the Pekin
authorities.
Apparently there has been adopted
at the Chinese capital tactics such as
were observed in 1900 prior to the
Boxer outbreak
The administration sees in the pres
ent situation a parallel with that
which existed prior to the Boxer out
break with this single and important
difference the present unrest is
not confined to two provinces in the
north, but prevails all over the en-
pire.
