LETTER FROM
MRS. CONGER
Describes Horrors of the Siege of Pc
kin Legations Their Wonderful
Defenses Chinamen Tried to
Shoot, Ruin and Blow Them Up.
Chicago, Sept. 28. A letter from
Mrs. Conger, wife of the United States
minister at I'ekln, was received jester-
dny by Mrs. J. S. McConnell, a Bister of
Mrs. Conger, who lives in this city. It
was the first mail communication to
come from Pekin sinco the siege, and
recounts briefly the horrors endured by
those who were imprisoned. The letter
came through the state department.
Mre. Conger refers to Mrs. Woodward for
a detailed account of the siege and epeaks
of her as about to leave for home. "
Mrs. Woodward is expected to arrive
in San Francisco on the steamer Coptic
on Saturday. Mr. Woodwind is in Sau
Francisco awaiting her coming. Mre.
Woodward is accompanied by her daugh
ter, lone, and Miss Cecile Payne, af Mil
waukee. Mrs. Congei's letter is as follows:
"Pekin, Aug. 1G, 1900. We are alive
and eafe. Our troops arrived on the 14th.
Oil, what a lejoicing! What a day it
was! If you could only have seen us
you could realize a little of the true feel
ing of the heart. Heart spoke to heart.
"We had been besieged in tho British
legation ever since June 20, under fire
day imJ night. At timeB the battle
would bo terrific. It would seem that
they were right upon us. But they wero
not. They tried to shoot us and kill ue
with their bulleta and shells, then to
burn us up, then to blow us up with
thrir mines, and at last to stai ve us out.
Oil, this is not all ; the kept laying traps
to get us to con.e out of our fortified
city with promisee to escort us to Tien
lin or to go to tho Tsung II Yaman to
bo under their protection. We did not
listen to them.
"We-ato horse and mule meat, and it
was good ; We ate rice, riee and rice and
it was good. 1 will tell you we are
grateful ; we know how to be. For two
days we killed dogs for the Chinese.
The niglit of the IJHh whs the most
terrific night of all. We were under
fierce and angry firing the niglit through.
They again opened their cannon on ue.
It seemed as though they would break
through and couio down on us. The
bell in the tower of the legation tolled
and tolled for every man to come to his
post. A general attack was upon ue.
"I cannot tell you how dreadlnl all
this has been But tlio almighty hand
of God alone lias eaved us. No human
power could. Of course-1 depend upon
Mrs. Woodward to tell you. Mr. Conger
lias much to do here, and so have most
of the other mintstere. All have worked
with a will. Our barricades, ditches,
etc., are wonderful. The troops c.une
into tho city with little firing at last.
