OTHERS WANT IT MODIFIED Americaa Troops Await Mcklaley't Slpal lor Removal-Prince Calif Cap tared -Details of Boxer Atrocities Confirmed. LONDON, Sept. 13. All the corres pondents in China are sending: terrible stories of the wholesale massacre of missionaries and native Christians. It Is asserted that during July between fifteen and twenty thousand converts were massacred In the northern prov Inces. Large numbers of missionaries are still unaccounted for and small hope Is entertained of their escape. Native reports are subjected to the most care ful scrutiny with the result that, al thouch there may be some exaggera tion. it is Impossible to doubt that In the main they are correct. The horror is intensified by confirma tion of the reports that women were subjected to unspeakable barbarities and tortures, being stripped and slow ly clubbed to death. This was one of the mildest methods. The Boxers wreaked a fiendish vengeance upon them. The powers are calling for swift punishment Fears are expressed lest the Russian government, which does not encourage the missionary propa ganda, should prove lukewarm In this matter. Statements were current In the European capitals last evening that all the powers had replied to the Russian proposition: that Great Britain and Oei many had declined to evacu ate Pekin. that Austria and Italy had decided to be guided by Germany's de cision end that the other oowers had agreed to a more or less modified with drawal. WASHINGTON, Sept. 12. The ques-. tion of withdrawing the American troops at once from Pekin Is now be fore the president and speedy decision is expected and required. There are differences among the oflcials in Pekin on this fubject and the Issue !s for the president to decide. The action of the French government, as reported by cable dl!patches. in Joining Russia in orders for a with drawal of the troops. . has brought sbout the contingency touched upon in the reply to Russia in the following language: ''The result of these considerations is that unless there Is Buch general ex pression by the powers in favor of con tinued occupation as to modify the views expressed by the government of Russia and load to a general agree ment for continued occupation, we shall give Instructions to the comman der of the American forces In China to withdraw our troops from Pekin after due conference with the other commanders as to the time and man ner of withdrawal." General Chaffee was made acquainted with the attitude of the government and was directed to hold himself in readiness to withdraw his troops. Un doubtedly he has conferred with the other commandjrs as to the time and manner of withdrawal, according to the terms of the note. The sending of further supplies to him has been stopped and he now awaits but a signal from Washing ton to begin his movement. It is for the president to give that signal.

In the western hills, 20 miles distant, and. are holding him there with a view of a conference and in the hope that he may estab lish communicatlM With the empress dowager. WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-The fc'nit ed States, government Is pushing . for ward steadily toward the beginning of negotiations with the Chinese govern ment, for a settlement of the present troubles. An evidence of. itg purpose was formed In Its decisive communica tion today io Minister-W t failU-' tate by every mean In Its power the Journey of LI Hung Chang to Pekin. This carries with it the placing of a I warship at his service, if a request of 1 on the Lower Columbia. that kind Is made by Sir Robert Hart, So far It has not been made and the state department officials do not be lieve that tt will be. It Is believed that Sir Robert Hart will be able to find a merchant steamer more suitable than a warship for the purpose. While efforts are being made by the Chinese government to begin negotia tions, the killing of American citizens and the destruction of their property continues. Four provinces In China are In a disturbed condition and Shang hai Itself Is menaced by the disorder ly elemental. Negotiations cannot be thought of while these things continue. and while there Is a possibility of preventing them through the influence Cf the Chinese government, w prSfw. f WASHINGTON. Sept. 12.-The Chi nese minister call?d at the state de partment and received a favorable res ponse to his application of yesterday for exemption frm Interference by this government of H Hung Chang's Journey from Shanghai to Fekin. BERLIN, Sept. 12. At the 'German foreign office. General Chaffee's dls ratch to Washington declaring the ne cessity of trjops remaining in Pekin has been noted with satisfaction. Speaking with reference to the state ments that attribute to Germany am. bltious schemes on the Tangtse Kiar.g, a foreign office official said: "Such statements are absurd, as Ger many has landed only 500 men where as Great Britain and France have each landed thousands. Germany's action there is wholly precautionary, for the protection of the lives and property of Germans." Field Marshal Count Von Waldersee after his arrival at Shanghai will not remain there, as some of the German papers have stated, but will proceed immediately to the province of Chi LI. As an additional reason why Ger many cannot withdraw from Pekin. It Is pointed out that 3000 native Chris tians have been rescued from the Pel Ting cathedral and that if now aban doned they would inevitably be massa cred. Th? correspondent of the Associated Press learn-jd that Germany will not send additional troops to China unless the situation there should change ma terially. Heavy losses would be re placed from home. The present mea sures apparently Justifying the belief that further Increases in China are In tended, as officially explained, to be "purely precautionary." Private dispatches received here say that the International forces attacked the Chinese fortifications at Pel Tang, north of Taku. and that the losses were considerable. The German transoort Rheln, with Lleutenant-General Von Lessel On board, has arrived at Shanghai. Rear-Admiral Bendemann, command ing the German squadron In Chinese waters, left Shanghai yesterday on board the cruiser Fuerst Blsmark. (Copyrighted. 1900, Associated Press.) TTKN TSIN.

Tho advance was made in two columns for the purpose of flanking the towns. General Dorward personally command ed the expedition. The Japanese siege guns were taken with the expedition which included a large force of cavalry. On? regiment of German cavalry and one BrltlBh battery have arrived. ITEM3 FROM BERLIN. Suicide of American Violinist Due to Anonymous Letter Writers. BERLIN. Sept. 12.-The local author ities have finally granted permission for the erection of the projected Amer ican church after modified plans. The hard coal syndicates in Silesia and the Rhine provinces have driven up the prices of hard coal twenty-five per cent and soft coal in Berlin Is fifty oer cent higher. It is now said that the otherwise inexplicable suicide of Arma Senkrah. the American violinist, formerly Miss Harkness, who married Herr Hoff mann, a Weimar attorney, was due to anonymous letter writers whom the Weimar police are now endeavoring to trace. FENIAN AGITATOR DEAD. NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Dr. Dennis Bowling Mulcahy, once an active Fen ian agitator, who was imprisoned in England in the latter part of the six ties wfth'O'DorioTan" Rosso and others, died in Newark, N. J., last night, aged 33 years. Ho had been In falling health for some time. Heart failure caused his death. LOSS OF NEARLY TWENTY MILLIONS (Continued from pare ont.l being made to clear up the mass of debris which bids fair to breed postl dltlnns. and superhuman efforts are lence. At noon today the telegraph com panies are said to be twamped with press and private telegrams; enough business Is plie.1 In the offices to keep all wires busy for 24 hours and now matter Is being refused. Several tugs should arrive here from Galveston and they will add their thousands of words of press matter and hundreds of private messages to the already congested wires. GALVESTON, Tex., Sept. 12,-To-dav supplies began to arrive, but so meagre are the facilities that the amounts could not be handled. There are thousands hungry here now they have something to eat. but the food givs no nourishment. It Is soaked with water, and provisions which have been treated to a bath are not very palatable. The provisions that reached here to day came from Houston by steamer, but there are so many to feed that It lid not go far. A crowd quickly gath ered, and they were distributed in a j short time. Manv hurried away with ! what thev got. to their families: others cot cooked food and ate it where they were. The situation does not look so bad now that relief haa actually come and mom Is on the way, but It Is hot meant to be said that further relief is not ncnl.'d. This Is not a question of a day but of many dav. It may be two weeks before a train gets In here. j There Is much to be done, the first thine being the establishment of a rlg- id svstem of Issuing supplies. The nu 'cltus has already teen formed, and the regular soldiers who are still alive and a number of citizens have bein sworn in as policemen and are attend ing t-) the issuing of rations and di recting the efforts of the searchers for the dead and Injured. A? for clotli in?. many have the money to buy and those who have not are being given their necessaries by the relief commit tee, but more clothing is necessary and especially for women and children, who are the principal sufferers. The lead are still being searched out and buried, some of them in the sen and some of them on the beach and still others in the cemeteries. There are no coffins left. People are knock ing together pine box; and getting lumber from the rulna of their homes in which to bury their dead. Thev can not take them to the cemeteries, so they bury them within what was once their yards. Intending to Inter them in cemeteries after matters have assumed their normal aspect. The dead who have no relatives left are treated with scanty courtesy: there Is no time for ceremony and thev are put into the sand on the beach or Into the gulf. The Injured are being taken care of as well as could be expected. Physi cians are on the go all the time. All " '" were not badly hurt are being put aside temporarily for those who really need the cervices of doctors or sur geor, and '.hose are so -nany that their number cannot be computed with any accuracy. Of the 3llghtly hurt there are some thousands, as the malorlty of the people found In the streets have wounds or bruises of some kind. In the business portion of the town the dead have all been recovered. They were not so numerous as In the out skirts. People who are now being dug up were not drowned: they were gen erally killed ov falling houses. The number of dead at the orphanage was not nmrlv so great as at first esti mated. The ruins of the Terrace, a big rooming building, have not produced fifty dead, though It was said that th-re were many more there. The exact number cannit be stated. People are arriving here from the outside and newspaper were brought la from Houston today. The reports of the destruction have not been exaggerated: If anything they are too conservative. Wreckage ex tends in every direction. Pieces of houses, fences, clothing, telegraph and telephone poles block the streets: the water washed everything Into a heap and It Is through this debris that a search is being made for the dead. I The east end all residences and small stores Is no more. It looks like a lum ber yard which had been struck by a furniture storm. In the Denver re survey thre are few houses, but those are badly twisted. In the went end. where the houses were not substantial, the damage amounts almost to a to tality. There are undoubtedly a large number of dead in this district. In the cental portion of the town, where the wealthy neonle lived, there Is probab ly not one house out of five but Is com pletely ruined. All the houses that are left standing are filled with the severe ly Injured, the rich and the poor oceu pyink the same rooms In many in stances. Along the bay shore the devastation is complete, and the full force of the wind Is better appreciated when the great timbers and piling are seen twist ed and broken in two. Many of the residences that were blown inside out have a look of frailness about them, but here there Is a solidity .about this wreckage that shows the terrible force which must have been exerted to have caused the damage. A great steamer, the Alamo, is Jam med hard and fast Into the remains of the 'piling of the wharf where she wasrtled uprOut In the-streams a sis ter ship, the Concho, lays after; her voyage from New York. The passen gers she haa on board have not been allowed to land. Over on Bolivar another big ship l, and out toward the Jetty there is another. Tugs will be her In a very tltort time from New Orleans and Mo bile t ) pull them off. but they will have to go out of port light, for there I little left hew to send out on them. There l no dock hero that can accommo date these big oc .tin-going stceantshlt. One or two of them are riding at an chor npparentlv unharmed, Of the smaller craft there la little left. A coupU of steamer and two tugs are oil that can he ' sen from the w harf, though there nmv be others which are away at the mainland.' Mot of the mosquito "eel was (mushed Into kind ling wood There ar several small boats thrown high and dry on the wreckage of Ih wharves, and one Is far out In the rail road yards. How it got there Is a mystery, for even the wind that pr vailed could not have curried It there unless It got up above the wharves first. Out In the water there aw a number of wrveks of vessels. Most of the crew have escaped The city and Islund Is covered with carcasses of horses, mules, cows. dogs, rats and cats. The odor from these and from the human bodies Is poisoning the air and It ! a matter of Impossl bllltv to dispone of even one-tenth of the nullifying carcasses this week. The number of peopla trying to leave Is great: not all of them want to stay ,wav permanently, but they desire to get to relatives and friends elsewhere to recover from the shock. Thev want to get where there Is plenty of food and drinking water and medicine and not so much sickness that may prove as fatal as wind and water. - 14 - Nf W ORLEANS. Sept. 12.-A social to the Tribune from Beaumont. Texas, says: Stivnge as It mav seem, all things considered, vast as are the stretches cf roast country In this lection, which were storm sw-ept. there has been but a slrsle death reported positively. This statement must not be construed to mean that there was no further loss of life, for there are still many people missing, whole families who took ref ute en the rldg'S of Sabine Tans, and while their safety Is almost taken for granted here It cannot be stat-tl as a positive fact until the count of heads Is made. In addition to khe possible loss of life at Sabine Pass, there Is a train on the Gulf & Interstate .-oad which left n.iiivar Saturday about noon and w hich l detained a mile or so on the other side of ll.iljvar. which may have addi tional casualty news. On this train there are supposed to be all the res. Idents of Bolivar Point and Intermed iate stations. From meagre advices re ceived here It Is gathered that there was no loss of life along this line either, but here again definite Information Is lacking. Two relief trains are out on the Gulf & Interstate road, and the refugee are being transferred to High Island, which did not suffer from the storm, being thirty feet above high tide. The trains are exppcted here some time today, and then for the first time the truth will be known In Its entirety. One thing can be stated with absolute certainty. Frcm a point thirty miles from Beaumont on the Gulf 4 Inter state to the terminus of the line at Bol ivar Point, there Is still a clear sweep nf WHter to Galveston. The relief trains are now standing In several feet of wa ter and the whole country Is sub merged. Saturday night and Sunday the breakers were rolling over the prairies and across the lands and the chances are that not a building Is left standing In Patton. Crenshaw or Port Bolivar. The loss of property Is enor mous. At Sabine Pass and along the tracks of the Southern Pacific from Beaumont to this point not much damage was done. At the Pass several houses were floated off their blocks but they kept right side up and can be put back at a slight expense. Several houses were damaged at Sabine but not to any ex tent. At Port Arthur and along the Kansas City Southern road there was no damage. Further al'.ng there was no wah to contend with and while everything was four feet under water trains were run as usual. A few thousand dollars will cover the loss to this company. The loss sus tained by the Gulf & Interstate Is far heavier, as from High Island to Boli var Point the road bed and all rails are gone. This Is a distance of forty miles. Telegraph poles and wires and ties were floated far Into the prairies, and the roads from Highland on will have to be built over again. The depots of the company at Port Bolivar are also gone. The greatest loss will come In the matter of stock. Of the thousands of cattl and horses In pastures which were Inundated, not one In ten escaped; One herd of a thousand head was swept out to sea. The cattle which were not drowned will die, for salt water is all over the ridge and their thirst will kill them. All In all, taking Into consideration the losses of railroads and tin residents in this section, a million dollars Is a conser vative estimate. BEAUMONT. Tex., Sept. 12.-rA mcs. sage hai be';n received from Rollover asking for a boat from Houston. The message was fom T. J. Ray, of the-Gulf & Ship Island road, who said that his summer homo was gone, but that be and the Beaumont contingent were safe. He ssld, however, that there had been considerable loss cf life among residents between Rollover and Bolivar point. It Is almost Incredible that the negroes could have all escaped. SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 12.-CalIfor-Cla.ln responding' quickly and gener ously to Galveston's; cry for aid. Al' ready $32C8 has been contributed. ' in cluding a check for $1000 sent by the San Francisco Theatrical Managers' Association, tn advance of a combined benefit to bo given In a few days, the receipts of which are expected to tun hlah In th thousands. The board of trade will ImmeoUtiy forward a draft, the slse of which will be decided on today. The Santa F railroad ha tendered the free use of a full train to convey provisions and goods of all kind to the stricken city, and thews are being free'y contributed. All of the flour mills have expressed their willingness to donate liberally of their stocks and the whole, sale provision houses will follow suit. Tulare county, through Its native sons, now hen-, promise to furnish a good supply of dried fruit as well as sultuble clothing. Santa t'lnr and Alun.edu counties will do the same, be side sending considerable money. The IVntttI Telegraph Company will trans fer money free of charge to the suffer. r. Governor Gage has sent a tele gram to Governor S.tyers offering all the assistance In 'tis power. NEW VORK, Sept. L'.-A carload of provisions and clothing for the storm strlckcn people of Galveston left over th New York Central last night.
