Chinese Naval Offlcers Aecnsed of Sell

A dispatch from Shanghai dated Sept
17 says: Tbe Chinese naval officers now
at Port Arthnr and Tien Tsin are squab
bling among themselves as to the re
sponsibility of tbe terrible Chinese losses
in the naval battle eff the Yalu. A
court of inquiry is sitting and has al
ready found Captain Fong of the war
ship Lai Yuen guilty of cowardice in the
face of the enemy. He was condemned
to be beheaded and it is believed that
other officers will lose their heads.
A telegram from KnngTaotai, at Port
Arthur, received by the commandant at
Wei Hai Wei, positively accuses the
commander of the Chen Yuen of taking
night with his vessel before the battle
at the first sight of the enemy's smoke.
Admiral Ting, who remains at Port Ar
thur, has also telegraphed to Wei Hai
Wei making grave charges against some
of his officers. The admiral declares
that the Ping Yuen, the Ting Yuen and
the Ching Yuen, together with four tor
pedo boats, were up the Yalu river
when the battle commenced. There
they remained nntil the fighting was
over. They then sneaked out and made
for Port Arthur. One of these torpedo
boats is said to be still missing.
The Tong Haks, a powerful religious
sect ot Corean rebels, have attacked the
Japanese troops at Taiku, Southern
Cores. Reinforcements have been sent
the Japanese from Seoul. The Tong
Haks constitute one of the most power
ful revolutionary elements in Cqrea.
They ascribe the precarious conditions
of Corean trade and commerce to the
presence of foreigners. Tbe Tong Haks
early in the year undertook to rid Cores
of foreigners and threatened the Japa
nese as well as the people of other na
tions. Last year, incited by the Tong
Haks. 80,000 Coreans threatened to
march on the Corean capital and expel
tho foreigners therefrom. The move
ment was suppressed, but the feeling
which existed led to disturbances which
eventually brought about the war be
tween China and Japan.
A letter from Shanghai dated Aug. 17
says that the Chinese navy cannot fight
because the ships have only about 13
rounds of ammunition per ship, the sup
ply of ammunition having been sold by
the captains of the warships. The cor
respondent adds that one of these com
manders actually sold one of his ship's
Armstrong guns and went to sea one
gun short.
Tbe Chinese troops have murdered
two foreigners, the Rev. James Wylie,
near Moukden. being one. Eis mission
was attacked by a couple of hundred
Mnnchu soldiers under a high officer and
the place destroyed. Mr. Wylie fan for
assistance to the yamen of the magis
trate, but he was seized and cut to
pieces with swords and battered with
bludgeons. His skull and face were
completely destroyed, but he lingered
for some time. Ko reparation has been
exacted, although the Chinese govern
ment has promised the British govern
ment that the murderers will be pun
ished. They have long since got into
Cores and no punishment will follow
them, but the British government has
signified its willingness to settle for the
usual contribution of "blood money."
In the other case. Rev. J. Josean of
the French mission in Hungchon. near
Asan, was taken prisoner by the Chinese
tinder General Yeh because his flock ot
converts would not join the Chinese and
the Corean rebels with whom the Chi
nese fraternised after their defeat and
flight from Asan. Father Josean bad
prevented his people from joining the
rebels and so incurred the enmity of the
latter. He was tried in General Yeh's
tent upon ome trumped-up charge and
sentenced to death, which sentence was
put into immediate execution, and he
was decapitated by the orders of the
Chinese general. The French are de
manding satisfaction.
A dispatch from Shanghai says it is
reported the Japanese have succeeded in
entering the Chinese province of Man
churia and are advancing upon the capi
tal of Moukden.
It is also said fighting has taken place
between the invaders and the Chinese at
a town between that1 city and the
frontier. The engagement is said to
have ended in a decisive victory for the
Japanese, who established themselves in
the position previously occupied by the
Chinese troops. No details of this re
ported battle are given and the Chinese
at Shanghai discredit the repor
A dispatch from Yokohama says: The
destination of the second Japanese army
of SO.OOO men is kept secret. The Japa
nese army in Cores is rapidly advancing
northward. No resistance to its progress
is expected on this side of the Chinese
frontier. There is no truth in the rumor
sf an armistice.
A dispatch from St Petersburg says:
It is reported here that China has at
tacked the station of the new Ussueri
section of the Siberia railway, plundered
the telegraph office and killed eight
Russian employes. It is feared the gov
ernment will make this a pretext to in
terfere in the Corean struggle between
China and Japan.
A great fleet of transports, carrying
40,000 troops, is to sail immediately
from Japan. Its destination is a care
fully guarded secret, but there is a
rumor that &n attempt will be made to
march direct to Peking from some con
venient place on the Chinese coast
Little doubt exists in Tokio bnt that
an eminently desirable alliance with
Russia and France bos been just con

an alliance been made but a large loan

being the sum which, it is stated, has

Belle White, 22 years of age, daughter
of Benjamin S. White, a wealthy Chi
cago lumberman, died while under treat
ment of the removal of facial blemishes.
Death was caused, it is supposed, by the
use of cocaine to deaden the pain from
the application of an electric current.
which constituted the means of treat
ment The operator was Dr. Sophie
santa of the Dr. Sophie Santa company.
Eliza A. James, the business partner of
Dr. Santo, was assisting in the opera
tion at tbe time. In one hand Dr. Santa
held the electric needle and in the other
a sponge saturated with a solution of
cocaine which she applied at intervals
to ease the pain caused bv the needle.
She had almost completed tbe treatment
when Miss White gasped for breath and
before the operator could assist her she
slid from the chair to the fioor, dead.
Aid was hastily summoned and restora
tives applied, but without avail, the
young woman having died almost in
stantly.
City Marshal Jefferies of PnvaKuD.
Wash., was shot and killed at Meeker
Junction, a mile from Puyallup, while
searching for stolen goods in a saloon.
Jeffenes was examining a bundle when
two strangers entered and demanded tbe
bundle. They told Jeiferies to hold up
his hands, but before he could do so one
of the men shot him. A sheriff's posse
and tbe entire male portion of the town
of Puyallup turned out, chasing the
murderers into the brush. An old Pnv-
allnp Indian lying in the brush was fired
at five times by the posse. In the dark
ness it was impossible to tell whether ho
was the murderer or not At one time
the young men in the posse supposing
the Indian to be the murderer wanted to
do biin personal violence. Half an hour
after the shooting the murderers held
up a farmer driving a wagon and at the
point of a revolver compelled him to get
down from his seat Tht-y jumped into
the wagon and drove rapidly away.
On the night of Sept SO a murder was
committed at the Pichango Indian Mis
sion school, near Temecnla, Riverside
county, which presents all the aspects of
Indians work. In brief, the victim, a
white woman, was stunned and killed
and placed oa the floor, oak wood piled
round her and the body cremated, while
in the next room a little girl slept peace
fully, to be awakened by flames burn
ing her hand. She ran through the room
where her aunt lay roasting under the
burning wood and in her night clothes
reached the house of a friendly Indian
without being captured by the murder
ers. Mrs. Mary J. Piatt, a widow, aged
about 40 years, was teacher at Pichango
reservation and lived with her little
niece, Hattie Leslie, aged 10, in a part
of the school house. The Indians were
apparently on most friendly terms with
her, and she taught every child on the
reservation. Early last week an Indian
boy returned to Pichango from the Per
ris Indian school and reported that
the children there were being abused
and half starved. Metteo Pa, chief
of the band, called on Mrs. Piatt
the day of the murder and demanded
money to pay his fare to Perns and re
turn for the purpose of investigating the
boy's story. This Mrs. Piatt refused,
thinking t ho story groundless, though
telling Metteo Pa she would moke the
investigation herself. Metteo Pa went
off very angry, threatening, among
other things, to have the school closed.
This and the child's surly manner
caused Mrs. Piatt some uneasiness, and
she wrote to the Indian agent at Colton,
telling him of the threat and that she
was alarmed. She requested that if he
did not hear from her again in three or
four days he go down and settle matters.
This letter and a telegram from Temec
nla, announcing the burning of the gov
ernment building at Pichango, and the
finding of Mrs. Piatt's body arrived at
Colton on hour apart

An extremely sensational story is told
by a prominent leader relative to the
recent visit of General Frye, the Cali

a proposed revolution to overthrow the)
government of this country. The story
is vouched for by a member of the Popu
list party who is not in sympathy with
the anarchistic scheme. In substance,
the plan, as mapped out by Frye, who
issued a secret order for this purpose. -and
which is being formed in all the
large cities and commercial centers, is
to spring the revolution at the next na
tional strike. Frye became the confidant
of a number of persons, one of whom is
loyal to the government of this country.
The "general" stated he was identified
with a secret organization that is inter
national and rapidly increasing in mem
bership, and whose plans are to over-'
throw the government and place tbe
revolutionists in control. It is proposed
when the next great strike is on, and
when the militia is preserving order, to '
have the revolutionary leaders assemble
in Chicago and issue a proclamation for .
the establishment of a revolutionary '
government and be prepared to enforce
its decree. It is hoped by the boldness
of the movement to draw the working
men, hundreds of thousands of whom
would be loyal to the government, into "
this revolutionary scheme during the
excitement and passions of the strike.
Frye is said to be making a tour of the
ocuntry .on his revolutionary mission.' .
