Aboard the German steamer Tolosan

of the vessel and to make charges Of

only unable to come ashore. but can!
not even have communication with
anyone here. They cannot even mail
a letter unless some officer is kind
enough to carry it ashore for them.
The local Chinese consulate has It's

was trouble over the i'll treatment of
the crew and the last time the Tolosan
was here, about year ago, an incident
occurred which showed wrong condi
tions.
AT that time the crew made a sud
den attempt to rush ashore, which was
described as an effort to desert and
gain landing on American soil. A
German training ship was in the har-
Dor. and the steamer officers signalled
to the training ship, with the result
that the cadets turned out in force and
beat the Chinese back. AS a matter
of fact all the Chinese wanted was to
get into communication with their con-
sui. Complaint was made to the Ger

Mr.. Kui does not believe at all in
the charges that the Chinese crew
showed cowardice. 81 believe that the
American people are fairminded and
will not take such charges unsupported
in view of the record of this steamer

Consul Chang Tso Fan, it is said,
will interest himself in the matter to
the extent at least of getting an ac-
count of what took place aboard the
steamer during the storm, when the
crew reach port where communica-
ton is more easy.
