The navy department is very much
gratified to hear from Hear Admiral

American marines participated In any
way in the burning and looting of Tien

However, this has been understood to

EN ROUTE TO THE COAST
Tien Tain, however, recording divisions
among the admirals there, the pros
pects for a speedy advance seem to
be endangered, unless the governments
speedily agree upon a supreme leader.
IteMrts are current that a numbvr
of nilftsiontrles, American or English,
have been murdered in Shan 81. One
.of the dispatches from Shanghai, pub
Hnhed here today says:
'The Canadlun missionaries, who es
caped from Hal Nan had a terrible ex
perience en route her. The natives
everywhere were hostile. The rabble at
tacked the refugeea, beat them and
tore the clothes from their backs. The
ladles suffered cruel Indignities."
The dispatch continued:
"Canton remain comparatively quiet,
The natives, however, are beginning to
fear that the reinforcements arriving
at Hong Kong Intend to attack the
Ih.gue forts and occupy the city. The
military Mandarin has axked the col
onial secretary At Hong Kong for as
surance that Great Britain does not
Intend to take Canton."
A dlHpntch received here today from
Yokohama states that the Japanese
division will all be landed at Taku
by July 81 and will reach Tcn Tsin
August 3.
The legislature of New South Wale
has resolved to dispatch a military
contingent to Join the Imperial troops
In China.
LONDON, July 2.-T,.ieKrams from
Shanghai report that LI Hung Chang
ha taken up bis abode at the arsenal
as a measure of precaution. It Is not
stated whether he feared attack by
Chinese or attempts of the power to
curtail his liberties. Apparently the
foreign consuls at Shanghai have In-!
formed the viceroy that unless he ob
tained definite dispatches from Pekln
within five days they would conclude
the ministers had been murdered and
act accordingly.
WASHINGTON. July 6.-Mr. Ye.
the Corean oharge here, took to the
state department this morning a dls
pttt''h from his government denying
positively the published stories that
the Hoxer movement had extended to
Corea, or that uny Chinese had cross
i d the Curean frontier.
I
LONDON, July SC. It is seported here
that Russia has borrowed nearly 10,
OoO.OOO sterling from the Imperial Bank
of. Hussla since the commencement of
the troubles in China.
WASHINGTON. July 26.-Notwlth-standlng
signs of activity, the state
department had nothing this morning j
of Interest touching the Chinese sltua
tlon.
The Imperial edict promulgated yes
terday by Viceroy Tak, at Canton, has
left a disagreeable Impression here.
Despite the Chinese minister's view to
the contrary, this edict is looked upon
as suspiciously like a preliminary to a
formal declaration of war, and anly one
step toward securing time to move Chi
nese forces Into a better position for
defense against the Internationals.
The notice that came to the state de
partment that Corea Is free from the
I Boxer agitation was well received, for
! It is believed that Russia will thus be !
enabled to spare many more troops
from her Siberian army, for use In the
International force. With It, the navy
department sent over a copy of a dls
patch received from Admiral Remey
making aome changes in the marine
body, and Minister Wu came down and
asked for half an hour with Acting
Secretary Hill, but he declared he had
nothing from home, though he was
confident of Important development In
the'tmmediate future.
The Chinese minister expressed to
Hecretary Hill hi continued hope that
the ministers In I'ekln were still alive,
and said he believed he would be able
to deliver to the department a me
ne from Minister Cong-r that would
make that hope certnln.
The atate department had no Informa
tion of any kind from Its officers In
China. Acting Etcretary Hill aald the
Chlneae minister had received no In
formation from China, and had none
to Impart, and the conference with
the minister was simply an Interchange
of courtesies.
WASHINGTON, Juiy 2.There were
no developments today to warrant the
assumption that there was the slightest
Improvement In the Chinese situation.
Indeed, the general tenor of uch new
a found light was to add to the steady
growing doubt a to the good faith of
thj Chinese government a manifested
In It acts.
Admiral Kempff's letter, given pub
licity by the navy department today,
made the direct statement that
the Imperial authorities were In sym
pathy with the Box-ts, though he 'added
that the government was afterward
paralyzed and Incapable of controlling
the situation. This was the first of
ficial declaration to fch our govern
ment contradictory of the Chinese rep
resentations that the Imperial govern
ment bad steadfastly and from the first
opposed the Boxir movement, and our
government Is bound to accept the
word of Its own officer until that is
overcome by Irrefutable evidence.
Exchanges that ure In constant pro
gress between the powers are tending
more and more to ;ast suspicion upon
the genuineness of many communica
tions that have come from PeVin
through Chinese govermenlal sources.
If It should be finally established that
th're has been an attempt on their
part to practice a gigantic fraud upon
the world that fact may call for a
change of attitude on the part of the
United States government toward Chi
na. This woull not affect the military
policy already under way. but merely
the technical relations between the two
governments which probably wouid
clobely approximate a step of formal
war.
The navy department has made pub
lic the following additional chapter lu
Admiral Kempff's report:
Taku. June 20: Referring to my re
cent actions In declining to take part
In the taking of the Taku forts and
in afterward making common cause
with the foreign force In the protec
tion of foreign life and property. I
would respectfully state that the Chl-r.es-J
government Is now paralyzed, and
sevret edicts show that it Is In sym
pathy with the Boxers.
In the bombardment of the forts on
the 30th Inst., the Monocacy was fired
upon and struck, without having re
ceived previous warning.
It is necessary to Join with the' other
foreign powers for the common defense
and preservation of foreign people and
honor of our country. I refused to Join
In taking possession of the Imperial
Chinese railway station, and also de
li 4 ... J.l .
cmieu iu join in tne ciemanu lor a
temporary occupation of the Taku
j forts, for I thought it against the policy
anil wishes of our government to be
entangled with other foreign powers in
such a step, and also because It endan
gered the lives of people In the inter
ior In advance of absolute necessity;
for up to the early morning of June 17
the Chlnise government had not com
mitted, so far as I am aware, any act
of open hostilities toward the foreign
allied forces.
In opening fire without
warning an act of war was committed.
Under the circumstances I regarded
Uie situation as one for the protection
of the national honor and the preserva
tion of our people, and have acted ac
cordingly. NEW -YORK. Jury 26. The letters
from missionaries in China which have

NEW ORLEANS. July 28.-In the
rioting last night and today one ne
gro was beaten to death, six were so
badly wounded that their lives are des
paired of. and about a score of people,
white and black, male and f-'male, have
been more or less ' seriously wounded.
Disorderly acts, following the distur
bance of last night,' were committed
throughout the city today, and resulted
in the swearing in by the mayor of
special policemen, and the ordering
out of 500 state militia, upon order
of Governor Heard, who responded
Promptly to the appeal of Mayor Cap
devllle for assistance In suppressing
existing lawlesscetis and In preventing
a recurrence of the violence of lat
night.
Throughout the day attacks have
been made by Irresponsible whites up
on the black element, and the nerovs
before nightfall had been completely
chased from the streets. The effect of
the disorders has put a practical stop
to business In the wholesale district
and river front, and this means a ser
ious crippling of the trade of the port.
The business elements raUied in f rce,
and hundreds of white men responded
to the appeal of the mayor for assist
ance In preserving order.
The police have been practically help
less throughout the disturbance. But
aside from this there was great indig
nation among the members of the de
partment over the killing of Captain
Day and Patrolman Lamb by the ne
gro, Robert Charles. .
..-Further, there la strong resentment on
the part of the working people against
the steamship agents and contractors
because of the evployment of negro
labor to the exclusion of whites on'
the public works and on levee fronts.
NEW ORLEANS. July 26. After be
ing in the bands of lawless mobs for
several hours, with the police appar
ently powerless to maintain order. New
Orleans, at daybreak, again assumed
a peaceful and orderly condition, the
violence apparently finally ceased. The
last disturbance occurred about 5
o'clock, when a white baker, whose
name Is unknown, was shot In the leg,
while a crowd of rioters were chains
a gang of negroes.
The mayor, police and citizens are
arranging today to take precautions
against a recurrence of last night's
scenes of disorder. The mob was com
posed of boys and hoodlums, and was
w ithout a leader. The rioting grew out
of the Intense feeling engendered by thj
murder of Captain Day and Patrol
man Lamb and the wounding of Offi
cer Mora by desperado Charles. The
occurrences of last night are greatly
deplored by the best' elements of the
community. They represented, in ' no
sense, an uprising of an outraged com
munity against wrong. One man was
killed, three othsrs will die nd fifteen
were wounded.
The dead: Unknown negro, clubbed
and Bhc-t to death.
Fatally Injured: Louis Hughes, col
ored, shot four times; Baptiste Fil
eau, colored, aged 75 years, shot; Jos- '
eph Nelson, colored, skull fractured.
The injured: T. P. Saunders, color
ed, aged 3j, stabbed and shot; Esther
Fields, colored, aged 43, stabbed; Os
wald MeMuaon white, aged 16, shot;
Frank Shepherd, white, aged 43. shot;
Alexander Ruffman. Pullman car por
ter, shot; Joseph Deeds, white, shot;
Fred Davis, motDrman, shot; J. Cluny,
conductor, clubbed; George Morris, col
ored, cut and shot; Joseph Lewis, col
ored, aged 11. clubbed; Daniel White,
colored, shot; Henry Daurin, white,
shot; William Armstrong, colored,
shot; unknown baker, white, shot.
A delegation of citizens today went
to the city hall and asked the major
either to call out a posse of citizens
or appeal to the governor to order out
the militia. The mayor decided to
prepare a proclamation calling for 500
volunteer citizens to assist the police
In preserving order.
Wild reports have reached police
headquarters from various sections of ,
the city giving information of the
beating of negroes. Work on the levee,
where nesro labor is largely employed,
has been suspended. The Dig grocery
and produce houses are also practically
doing nothing, because thny cannot get
their negro drivers to risk their lives.
Mayor Capdevilla communicated with
Governor Heard, who will Immediate y
call out the militia to preserve order
In the city, ,
