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.

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

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

first. Out In the water there aw a

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.

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.
