SAN FRANCISCO. Aug:. 6. "With her
decks crowded -with bluejackets, marines,
ex-oIdlers of the Ninth Infantry and
refugees, the United States transport Lo
gan, from Taku, via Japan, was allowed
to dock today after passing quarantine.
There were men, women and children on
the vessel direct from Tien Tain, who had
escaped from the mobs of Boxers and the
Imperial Chinese troops. Nearly all
among the passengers in the cabin had
felt the depressing effects of a siege, and
had been In the Chinese city when It
was threatetned by the Celestial fighters,
and the refugees were more than glad to
get back to civilization. A large num
ber of the refugees left the transport at
Yokohama to return to various parts of
Europe and America by regular steamer.
Among the passengers were the fol
lowing: J. M. Mussen, Shanghai; Mrs.
Drew, Mrs. Tenny and four children, Mrs.
Pyke and four children, Mrs. Lowry and
three children, Mr. and Mrs. Haynor and
three children. Miss Jones. Dr. Pyke. Dr.
Dlffendorfer. Mr. Mcintosh, Taku: Rev.
H. W. Moulding, wife and son; Mrs. Frank
A. Davis. Mrs. Montelle, Miss Tillie
Faher. Tien Tsin; Dr. N. S. Hopkins, wife
and three children: Mrs. H. E. King and
three children, Mr. and Mrs. H. Smith,
Che Foo; the Misses Drew, Mrs. L. Drew,
O. C. Clifford, wife and child, Edward
"Wilson, Yokohama, and about 103 inva
lided soldiers.
There were three deaths on the Logan
during the voyage, two occurring before
Taku was reached. On June 30. Private
James H. McNeerney, of Company D,
Ninth Regiment, died, and on July 5
James D. St. Croix passed away. Private
David Nutes, of Company G, one of the
men whb started homeward owing to ill
ness, died at sea, July 22.
To the Logan attaches the distinction of
being the first vessel to land American
troops In China. She conveyed the Ninth
Infantry from Manila to Taku. The Lo
gan made the run from Manila In 39 days,
.from Nagasaki in 1S days, and from
Yokohama In 15 days. From Manila to
Taku she conveyed the Ninth Infantry and
detachments of the Signal and Hospital
Corps, and afnong the passengers brought
here "by her were 61 sick men of the
Ninth. At Taku she took aboard 170
Christian refugees from Tien Tsin. All
except 48 of these left the Logan at Naga
saki. Dr. D. E. Dlffendorfer. of Philadelphia,
the builder and manager of the first
woolen mill established in China, and the
personal friend of United States Consul
General Ragsdale and of Poo Tong, a
brother to the Chinese Emperor, tells the
following story of the attack on Tien
Tsin:
"It was on the morning of July 17 that
the first clash between the allies and the
Emperor's soldiers occurred. On the af
ternoon o"f the same day the bombard
ment of the Taku forts began. Captain
Baliey, of the British ship Orlando, was
commander of the allied forces at Tien
Tsin that day, as Captain McCalla was
sbsent with Admiral Seymour. At about
11 o'clock In the forenoon he saw smoke
rising from the railroad track about four
miles distant from the city, and, suspect
ing that the Boxers had fired another
bridge, he ordered 30 of his bluejackets,
commanded by a midshipman, whose
name I have forgotten, to proceed to tho
spot and investigate.
"We had a three-inch gun, and the men
were fully armed. When our flatcar had
traveled about three miles we found a
bridge, the timbers of which had been
burned away from the iron girders. It
being unsafe to cross, our commander
ordered the men to return to the city.
We had gone about 300 yards on the back
trip when we saw about 150 Chinese sol
diers crossing the track at a point a mile
ahead of us They were walking very
rapidls', and as we approached them all
doubts of their being Imperial troops dis
appeared. They did not wear the red tur
ban and sash that distinguished the Box
ers. As soon as we got within about 00
yards of them they scattered and got be
hind the grave mounds with which the
surface of the country was thickly stud
ded. Regarding this action as suspicious,
our midshipman gave the order to fire a
volley, and they quickly and vigorously
returned the fire. Our field piece was
minus a sight, and most of Its shots
passed over the enemy, so that after 10
minutes of hot firing we resumed our re
treat, the Chinese firing at us as long as
we were within range. There were no
casualties on our side. The significant
feature of the incident was Its bearing
en the subsequent proceedings. If it had
not been for the action of our party tflat
morning, the bombardment of Tien Tsin
might not have commenced that after
noon. In other words, I am inclined to
believe that our attack on the Chinese
troops precipitated their bombardment of
tho city And for that reason the skir
mish may attain some Importance when
final settlements ;are being made.""
Dr. DlrfenaorTerjjlfves that the trou
ble In China will be at an end within a
couple of years at farthest. "It will be
a repetition of the Tal Ping rebellion."
he said "When the allies have captured
Pekln. the Boxers will be broken Into
bands of marauders."
Charles Mcintosh, a Toronto, Canadn,
man, but an American citizen, who was
Dr. Dlfltendorfer's assistant in the woolen
mill, said:
"I think I must have spent about 15
days In the tower. I was doing sharp
shooting most of the time. We got Lee
Metford rifles from the arsenals, and how
many Mongolians they brought to death
I do not know. I tried to run three en
gines out of Pekln. but did not get far. 1
think we must have got half way, though.
Bodies of Chinese were lying all along
the track, headless and butchered. It
was the work of the Boxers. They fought
with spears and knives until they got in
with the Imperial troops, and would not
use foreign guns. Now they have a lot
of them, and they shoot well.
"The tower commanded a view of the
entire situation for miles. In the tower
part of the building the marines and sol
diers were holding the position against
the attacking party. They had loopholcd
the building by removing the bricks, and
It was necessary that they should be kept
posted on the movements of the enemy,
so as to be prepared for the charges. We
signaled to them from the tower, and ar
ranged to let them know exactly where
the Chinese were.
"These are the kind of bullets we used."
said the speaker, as he drew several cart
ridges from his pocket. "They are the
dumdum bullets, and we got them from
the Chinese arsenal. They tear a man to
pieces, and were probably intended for
our fellows, but we gave the Chinese a
dose of their own medicine.
"The Chinese had three guns in all
trained on the mill. They shot dwellings
into ruins, and damaged the mill con
siderably In all, we had 100 marines in
the mill. The American soldiers that
came 10 our rescue while were in the
shot-riddled tower filled our hearts with
emotion. The marines were the first to
come around the bend near the tower, and
they made a magnificent appearance with
the fag flying at the head of the column.
The people fairly went wild with Joy at
the sight of the reinforcements.
"The best fighters among the allies are
the Americans. British and Japanese. The
Japanese have earned a most enviable
reputation for discipline and bravery.
Their army seemed to be made up of men
of exactly the same size, and their equip
ment was perfect. They are brave and
patient. The American soldier has earned
a great reputation for fighting: qualities.
Every man of them is a soldier of the
best quality. The boys seemed to have
the dash and energy that was lacking: In
some of the European commands."

AGAIN HAVE UPPER HAND
ANTI-FOREIGW POWER DOMINANT
AT CAPITAL.
Prince Thru Inspires His Soldiers
to Dispute Every Foot 'of t&e
Road to Pekin.
LONDON, Aug. 8. The anti-foreign
power again has the upper hand at Pe
kln. According to the reports emerging
from Li Hung Chang's lodgings at Shang
hai, his baggage is packed preparatory
to his departure for Pekln, but, It Is add
ed, he has applied to the throne for 20
days' sick leave. LI Hung Chang claims
that hla representations to the Tang Tse
Viceroys and Taotal Sheng will be de
nounced b7 LI Ping Hong, because they
are friendly to the foreigners.
A news agency dispatch from Shanghai
dated today (August 6), says It la. ru
mored that the Governor of Shan Tung,
who disapproved of Prince Tuan, has
been killed.
Correspondents at Tien Tsin are unable
to set anything fresh, though a dispatch
from Shanghai, dated August 6, avers
that the allies are making slow progress
toward Pekln, on account of the differ
once of opinion among the Generals. The
American, British and Japanese com
manders favor one plan, this dispatch af
firms, and the Russians, French and Ger
mans favor another plan.
Prince Tuan, it Is added, seeks to in
spire his armies by proclamation order
ing every foot of the road from Tien Tsin
to Pekln to be disputed. All the Chinese
troops have evidently been paid in full,
and troops, money and supplies are going
to Pekln from the Southern provinces. It
is deemed, quite probable by military men
in London that the Chinese will make a
fierce fight at Pekin, on a much greater
scale than during the defense of Tien
Tsin.
A dispatch received at the War Office in
St Petersburg, from General Grodeoff,
dated Khabarvsk, August 4, says two
squadrons reconnolterlng near Teche en
gaged 1000 Chinese, with two guns and
250 cavalry. After a stubborn fight the
Russians were reinforced by another
squadron, with two guns, and defeated
tho Chinese, killing 200. The Russian loss
was eight men killed and eight wounded.
This dispatch adds that the battle
around Algun was continued August 3,
the Cossacks losing six men killed and
25 pounded and driving back the Chinese,
killing 200 and capturing two guns and
two flags. An inscription on one of the
flags read:
"The People of the Large Fist."
Algun, when the dispatch was sent, was
burning. Other dispatches report Rus
sian successes near Port Arthur.
REFORMERS GAINING GROUND.
Object to Introduce Civilized Ideas
Into China.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6. The New York
branch of the Chinese Empire Reform
Association is gradually gaining ground
in Chinatown. They, have received a let
ter from Khoo, Seok Wan, chief of the
reform party in Singapore. It comes
through the San Francisco branch of tho
association .and bears the date of June
26. A translation of part of the letter
reads as follows:
"My Dear Brothers: I am very glad that
you have started a society in America
with the object of saving His Majesty
Kwang Hsu, and to Introduce all ad
vanced civilized ideas into the Chinese
nation. This laudable act is much ad
mired by me. Our empire, as you are
aware, is not a small one. and the num
ber or our people is very great Indeed.
Still, at the present time wo are being
treated with contempt by all the rest of
the world, and are not accounted equal to
other great nations. Lately many large
concessions of land have been made to
foreign powers, and I dare say that, al
though the wholesale partition "has been
barely commenced, I fear China will soon
follow in the wake of Poland and India.
One was swallowed by Russia and the
otherby England.
"Should this continue for any length of
time, we will soon be without govern
ment, without homes, although we might
have vast riches and a powerful empire.
As it is, our people are treated like ani
mals serving their master. You have seen
the great citizens of foreign countries, my
dear brothers, and I am sure you have
learned a great deal of Western history.
For Instance, you have learned that
neither England, Germany, America,
France nor Japan was powerful In the
beginning. And how have they become
powerful? Always the work of a few
clever men, who In the beginning took It
upon themselves to educate the people to
a point where they could understand the
meaning of good government.
"Taking our present condition Into con
sideration. It were probably better that
we make our Emperor absolute ruler un
til our people know more of the laws of
government.
"Many of our friends advise us to ap
peal to friendly foreign powers, such as
England and America. This Is rood ad
vice, but It does not exactly agree with
tne 01a tamlly law. I consider this to be
our affair, an affair between ourselves
and our Emperor, and it Is our dutv to
act for ourselves. Foreign powers have
nothing to do with it. Besides, the time
Is not yet ripe for foreign Intervention.
If we are ever to -ask for their help,
we mu-t do so only after we have struck
for liberty. Then, if they approve of
our principles, we may depend upon it
they will offer their assistance.
"You are aware, my dear brothers, of
the great amount of good we have al
ready accomplished. Our Emperor would
long ago have been murdered by the
wicked old Empress Dowager or her con
federates t it were not for the great fear
our protesting telegrams have engen
dered. To be sure, telegrams are but
bits of paper, but they have had a most
wonderful effect I would also inform
you that our Joint telegrams have been
much admired and commented upon by
the great powers.
"I appeal to Confucius, Jesus Christ and
Jehovah and all the prophets, praying
that our association may succeed in its
loyal work."
FRIENDLY TO OREIGNERS.
Execution of Two Members of the
Tsunc H Ynmun.
NEW YORK, Aug. C A dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from Shanghai
says: Director of Telegraphs Sheng, in
an interview, says that two members of
the Tsung 11 Yamun. or Chinese Foreign
""ice, were put to death for alleged
friendliness to the foreigners, and adds
to the previous story the names of the
officials and the circumstances of their
death. He says the victims of LI Ping
Hong's wrath were Hsu Chlng Chien,
formerly Minister to Russia and more re
cently Imperial Director-General of Rail
ways, and Yuan Chang. They had been
doing good work In suppressing the Box
ers, and had supported the efforts of
Prince Chlng to" save the foreign Minis
ters and restore order in Pekin.
For this they incurred the displeasure
of Li Ping Hong, and. notwithstanding
their high office as members .of the Tsung
11 Yamun, they were led out July 23
and beheaded, as a warning to others
who might seek to befriend the besieged
Ministers. Prince Ching protested. Sheng
declares, but his efforts were unavailing.
This, according to Dr. Sheng, shows that
Li Ping Hong Is master at Pekln, and
he adds that Lung Tun Slang has 20,000
troops in the vicinity of Pekln. He fears
that should the allies force an entrance
to Pekln. LI Ping will compel the Em
peror and Empress Dowager to evacuate
the palace and place themselves under
his protection. Then he will most likely
murder the foreign Ministers. Unless he
is suppressed, Sheng fears there is jno
hope for the Legations.
LI Kung. Chang Chi Tung, Xil Hunn
Chang and Sheng, according to the lat-
ter, sent an urgent message to the
Empress requesting that General Yung
Lu be permitted to escort all the foreign
Ministers to Tien Tsin, where the "Vice
roys could meet and care for them. This
was sent prior to July 26, on which day
Li Ping Hong arrived m Pekln and had
an audience with the Empress.
On August 1 the same "Viceroys sent a
message. Sheng received ah answer to
the first in the form of an imperial edict
dated July 30, ordering Yung Lu to pro
vide an escort for the Ministers to Tien
Tsin, whenever tho latter should fix the
date for the departure. There was no in
timation, however, whether the Ministers
would avail themselves of this chance of
reaching the coast or would regard It
with suspicion and wait In Pekln for the
arrival of the relief column.
KAISER MISINTERPRETED.
He Never Meant to Say That No Quar
ter Be Given.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6. Andrew D.
White, United States Ambassador to Ger
many, and -John D. Rockefeller were
passengers on board the Deutschland,
which reached her dock today from
Hamburg. Mr. White said. In answer to
questions regarding affairs in China, that
Emperor William's speech to the soldiers
who were going to China was generally
misinterpreted.
'He never meant" the Ambassador
said, "to tell them to give the Chinese
no quarter. Nobody so understood his
speech until some French papers put that
construction upon it The first time J.
heard of such an interpretation was when
I received a certain Paris paper. The
Emperor is an emotional man, and he
may be inclined to yield to the Impulse
of tho' moment, perhaps, but ho kndWs
how to control himself, and he certainly
never meant to oommand his soldiers to
be merciless. What ho did say to xnem
was that they should bear in mind that
they were going to face a desperate foe.
"Germany feels deeply the assassination
of her Minister," Mr. White continued,
"Baron von Ketteler was a superior 'man.
He was much admired, and his sad death
made a deep ilmpresslon."
Speaking of the general situation in
China, the Ambassador said, with enthu
siasm. "The present conflict means the birth
throes of anew era. It means the begin
ning of the opening of. China to tho civ
ilized world."
"Is there any talk of partitioning China
in Germany?" he was asked.
"Oh, no; this trouble will never ter
minate in such a way. The war will
end in the allied powers dictating terms
to China.
"Admiral Kenmpff's conduct in China,"
Mr. White said, "was at first miscon
strued, but now the Germans approve
of his poljcy.
"Russian is looked upon with the usual
mistrust," the Ambassador continued,
"but the fact that she and Germany fight
shoulder to shoulder In China tends to
improve the feeling between the two
countries."
In conclusion, the Ambassador touched
upon the admiration felt in Germany for
our arms.
"The German attaches who saw our
men fight are most exuberant In their
praises of our Army and Navy, and of the
valor nnd skill of our sailors and soldiers.
In this connection' it may be said that
our war with Spain and the part we
played In the Chinese conflict has opened
the eyes of Europe and made It see a
good deal more of us than It had done
before."
Asked what he thought of the cabled re
port that Russia and Germany would
declare for war conjointly against China,
the Ambassador said: "I think It Is very
likely both countries have the same cause
for war and both would have a common
cause for acting together."
He did not think partition would be
made of China, and said on this subject:
"I do not think that the powers will
divide China. The condition that meets
them now is pacification of tho country.
There Is no talk of partition In Germany,
and I do not bellevq there will be" on the '.
part of the "others. There is a bljj' under
taking left the powers nnd they cannot
go Into this with any feeling or desire for
division of the Chinese Empire. The first
thing is the rescue of the foreign Minis
ters. Then will come the restoration of
peace. Indemnities and such other solu
tion of affairs will follow."
WILL BE NO DELAY".
American Roinforcemcnts to Be Hur

lng or uovernor lioooei was Degun ioaay.
Tho testimony throw no light on tho
tragedy,
This afternoon R. C. O'Benjamln, the
negro attorney who represents "Tallow
Dick" Combs, the negro defendant, asked
to be allowed to make a motion at the
regular meeting hour for investigation s
to his conduct regarding the confessions
of Combs, In which he was said to be be
traying the secrets of the prosecution.
Judge Cantrell Informed him that an In
vestigation would not be necessary.
O'Benjamln then gave out an Interview,
In which he said that the Combs con
fession was made In the presence of him
self, Commonwealth Attorney Franklin
and Victor H. Bradley, of the prosecu
tion, and that Combs made all of the
statements attributed to him except as
to the amount Youtsey Is alleged to have
offered H. E. Smlh to kill Goebel. He
says Combs did not say $1200. O'Benjamln
also produced a letter from his client
Combs, in which the latter expressed the
utmost confidence in him. Combs'
nephew Is here tonight, and says he has
made a vain search to find Hoke E.
Smith. He thinks Smith is in either New
Orleans or San Francisco.
Captain Golden and other representa
tives of the prosecution conferred with
Green Golden, one of the alleged acces
sories In jail at Frankfort, yesterday,
and there Is a possibility that the latter
may be introduced as a witness In re
buttal to contradict the testimony of the
defendant himself.
Captain Walcott. who had charge of
tho Frankfort mllltla, said on the stand
today that the company was on duty at
the state capltol the day the Legislature
met and throughout the session, but de
nied that soldiers were lined up for
marching orders when the assassination
occurred.
On cross-examination, he said he had
never before seen the state arsenal under
guard for the same length of time. He
got his orders from Adjutant-General
Collier, and did not know for what pur
poso the guard was placed there. He said
it merely happened that the soldiers were
equipped with side arms and equipments
and rendv for active service when Goebel
was shot: that it was not customary
for the men to be equipped Inside the
arsenal. He denied that the men were
alreadv In line, but said he formed them
after they herd the first shot fired.
