Peking Especially - Intervention
by foreign powers similar to that at
the time Of the Boxer uprising in
1900 is believed TO be imminent by
government officials as result Of
the anti-foreign outbreak in Chang
sha.
Advices from there say that the
arrival of a British gunboat and the
news that three other British war
ships, and the American cruiser
Cleveland, are on their way to the
scene of trouble have had a tenn
porary quieting effect on the natives.
The uprising is so widespread. how
ever, that the government fears 9TH
en outrages will be committed that
will lead to the foreign occupation
OF the city.
Several missions have been de-
stroyed, and the latest word being
that the Yale Mission, maintained
by the Yale University, was burned.
The mission had property valued at
considerably more than 100000.
These missions were maintained by
England and America. These ma
tions will demand full indemnity.
The settlement of this indemnity is
likely to prove a delicate matter of
diplomacy, though China Is in no
position to resist a determined de-
mand.
The gunboats and the cruiser
Cleveland are under forced steam.
The warships all have their torpedo
nets spread, fearing mines in the
Siangklang. The nature Of the or
ders that have been communicated
to the commanders of these vessels
has not been disclosed to the Chi
nese government. This has irrita-
ted the government. which declares
that IL II knew the intentions of the
foreign powers 1t might take the nee
essary steps to avoid such a display
of naval force.
Hankow, northeast of Chang-Sha,
is filled with missionary refugees
from the rioting city. Most OF them
fed with but few of their personal
effects. These have been lost in the
fires that destroyed the mission
buildings. Those who are reported
to have taken refuge in Hankow are
W. H. Watson, e. Cooper and wife,
j. A. Alexander, c. d. Little. S. Cow
ling, w. o. Oakes, DR.. F. A. Keller
and wife; Miss Tilley, the sister of
Mrs. Keller; Brownell Gage and
wife, E. H. Hume and wife, Mrs.
Lawrence Thurston and William ].
Hail. In addition to these there are
about 100 subordinate workers and
nursese among the refugees.
The Yale Mission, of which DR..
Keller was the head, was the last
one attacked by the mobs. Fortu-
nately the occupants of the mission,
realizing the imminence of attack,
fed in time to escape personal in
jury.
Chang-Sha is a city of over 300,-
600 population and the scene that
accompanied the destruction of the
property of the foreign devils" was
such that only one who has seen
an infuriated Chinese mob at work
can appreciate.
Several, of the missionaries had
narrow escapes and only got away
through the intervention of a few
friendly natives, who shielded them
In their homes until darkness per-
mitted an escape.
Serious charges against the Chang
Sha officials of conniving with the
rioters has been made TO the govern
ment. The punishment of the off,
cials will undoubtedly be demanded
by the powers that seek an indem-
nifty.
All attempts to conceal the fact
that the outbreak is inspired wholly
by anti-foreign hatred have now
been abandoned.
