PLOWED THROljGH A BARK Cunard Liner Campania Cut a Ship in Two. SAILER SANK IMMEDIATELY Eleven of the Crew of Twenty Were Drowned-Tlie Campania Wai Not Mach Damaged. London, July 24.—A dense fog hung ever the Irish channel yesterday morn ing, and the Cunard line steamer Cam pania, eu route from New York lor Liverpool, struck the Liverpool hark Embleton, bound for New Zealand, amidships, catling her in twain. The Embleton sank immediately. Seven of the crew were rescued, but it is lie lieved the other 11 members of the ship’s company, including the captain, were drowned. The Campania had her lows stove in, but arrived safely at Liverpool, five and a half hours late. The Campania had a narrow escape from serious disaster. The fog had delayed her passage since Friday noon, and a tender went out from Queens town four miles, as Captain Walker would not take the liner near shore. At Tuskar light, the fog was becoming denser every moment. When the Cam pania was about 30 miles northeast of the light a phantom ship rose suddenly, without warning, directly across her bows. Thirty seconds later the phan tom had become a solid sailing vessel, into which the liner crashed, her steel forefoot going through the Embleton like the clean cut of a sword, and dividing her just abaft the mainmast. The forward half sank instantly. The stern swung viciously round, and the mast and yards for a moment tore at the Campania. A lump of wreckage came down on her decks. Then the stern of the bark also disappeared, and the face of the sea was littered with splintered timbers, boxes, barrels, the upper works and lighter cargo, the deck houses ami such things. Then there was nothiug. From the instant when the phantom came into view from the bridge of the Campania until the last vestige of the vessel vanished some 60 or 80 seconds had elapsed. According to the Embleton’s surviv ors, for nearly half an hour before the collision, the captain and ffrst officer were below at breakfast, and, although the fog whistle of a large steamer could be heard every minute, the bark never shifted her course, the helmsman re ceiving no order. When, at 8:25 A. M., the second officer, to use his own phrase, “heard the rush of a steamer’s bows,’’ he shouted down to the captain, who rushed on -leek, but he was too late to give an order. The Capinania was under one-third steam. The captain, first officer aud pilot were on the bridge. The engine s were instantly reversed, and the helm put hard down. No precaution was omitted. Some of her passengers had even grumbled at what they called superfluous caution. After the crash and the sudden cries, the boats were quickly gotten out. There were no signs of panic; the crew was every where at their stations; the bulkheads were closed aud everything possible was done to save life. Some of the Campanil*plates were bent by the collision; her forepeak filled with water; her foretopmast was broken short off aud her steel rigging torn and twisted. The passengers held a meeting, adopt ed resolutions ol thanks to the captain and crew, and subscribed £700 for the relief of the survivors and the families of the lost. Eighth Infantry for China. New York, July 24.—Two com panies of the Eighth United States in fantry moved off the transport McClel lan this afternoon and started for Fort Snelling, Minn. Other members of the regiment are en route from Cuba, and, after the recruiting of the organ ization to its full limit, it will be sent to China, lhe men have been in Cuba 18 mouths, but they looked to be ii tine condition. About 2,500 persons were at the docks to meet the soldiers, and the Young Men’s Christian Asso ciation proivded coffee and other re- fresheut*. The other eight coinpauies of the regiment were delayed by a stoim off Cape Hatteras. Cleared the Track anti Saved Live«. Three Lakes. Wis., July 94.—A laborer earlv to day removed a pile ol ties from the Northwestern tracks, that had been placed there during the night, just in time to prevent the passenger train due here at 4:30 A. M., from striking them. He also removed a number of rocks from a bridge a short distance awav. His actions probably saved the lives of 30 members of a local club, who were on the train. AUTHOR OF IT ALL. PROMISE OF DEWEY. LI Hung Chang Looked Upon a» Orig inator of tli«* riot. filipino Geanral Say» It Wn. for In.le- p.ad.ac«. London, July 21.—The Shanghai cor respondent of the Daily Express sues: “Intense indignation is felt here at the honors in Houg Kong that hive been accorded to Li Hung Chung, who is looked ufxm in Shanghai as the orig inator of the whole fiendish anti-foreign plot. “A Chinese merchant who has just arrived from 1’ekiu gives horrible de tails of the massacre. He says he saw European women hauled into the street by shrieking Boxers, who stripped them and backed them to pieces. Their dissevered limbs were tossed to the crowd and carred off with howls ol triumph. Some were already dead, haivng been shot by foreign civilians. He says he saw Chinese soldiers cur rying the bodies of white children aloft on their spears while their companioi s shot at the bodies. He gives other de tail* too horrible to be particularized here. "It seems that the Boxer leaders had organized a plan, including the offer ing of rewards and rich loot, for the annihilation of Europeans throughon China, and that Prince Tuan’s soldiers have been emphasizing the opportunity the soldiers have had of seizing the bodies of white women.” Sioux F'alls, 8. D., July 25.—A let ter has been received by Senator K. F. Pettigrew fiom one of the leading com manders of the Filipino army, giving additional light on the claims of th« Filipino people as to the understanding that was arriied at between them aud the Americans before the opening of hostilities in the Philippines. The let ter says, in part: “Sinukwan Encampment. Philippine Islands. April 12, 1900.— Hons. R. F. Pettigrew and G. F. Hoar, Senators. Washington—Gentlemen: 1 have read in some American papers that Admiral Dewey, compelled by you aud other senators, lovers of truth and justice, to answer whether he made to us formal promises of independence, stated that lie had ‘never promised independence to the Filipino*.’ 1, who, iu the name of the Filipino people, and of General Aguinaldo, aud as a representative of both, have bad the honor to confer sev eral times with the admiral, make to you the following statements, that you mav use them as yon think convenient: “Iu April. 1898, when the ruptureof hostilities between America and Spain became imminent, and in the alwence of mv chief. General Aguinaldo, who was then at Singapore. I solicited, through the American consul at Hong Koug, Mr. Wildman, to have some in terviews with Admiral Dewey, with the object of continuing the interrupted negotiations betweeu General Aguinaldo and Admiral Dewey, thiough Mr. Wood, the commander of the American gunboat Petrel. My petition was fav orably received, and I went with Mr. Andrew Garcliitorena, another Filipino, on board the Olympia, in the bay of Hong Koug. “Once on board, Jhe following inter view, in French, took place through the flag interpreter: “Filipino—Admiral, it having come to our knowledge that a war between your country and Spain is imminent, we. who have fought the latter for our in dependence, are williug, in obedience to the desires manifested by you to General Aguinaldo, thiough Mr. Wood, to take part iu the war as allies oi America, so long as it he carried on with the object of freeing from the yoke of Spain her colonies, giving them their independence. “Admiral Dewey—The American people, champions of liberty, will undertake this war with the humani tarian object of freeing from the Span ish yoke the peoples under it, and we will give you independence aud free dom, as we have proclaimed to the world at large. “Filipino—We are verv grateful for this generous jnanifestation of the great American people, and being made through an admiral of their navy, we value it more than a written contract and therefore pluee ourselves at your entire disposal. “Admiral Dewey—1 place at your disposal the ships of my fleet for the conveyance of both the Filipino leaders and the arms you may get. Moreover. I think my government is willing to supply you with arms and ammunition. "Filipino—We are very thankful to you for this new generosity of the Amer ican people.aud you may be sure that we are ready to tight at vonr side foi the independence of the Philippines, even without arms, as we have done during the recent revolution. “Admiral Dewey—America is rich in every respect; she has territorio* sparsely inhabited. Besides, our con stitution prevents ‘territorial expan sion’ outside of America; therefore, the Filipinos may be sure of their inde pendence, ami not a bit of their land shall lie taken from them. “Alter these conclusive and formal statements, the conversation turned n> other details concerning the state of the country.” Th“ letter is signed “K. Alej andrino.* He i* a Filipino general who recently surrendered to the American force*. TORTURED BY BOXERS. The Terrible Fate of One of the Firal Victim». San Francis«), July 21.—A Chroni cle special from Victoria, B. C., says: Advices receiver! from North China contain particular« of the awful torture inflicted on the Rev. H. V. Norman, who, with Rev. C. Robinson, was among the first of the American mis sionaries to become victims of the Box er*. A correspondent writing from Tien Tsin on July 7, says some refugees who had arrived there gathered from Chinese ghastly details of the torture inflicted on Norman. It seems that he fell into the hands of Li, the head man of a little town bard by the little Anglican mission, where he and Robinson had their head quarters. In a quarrel between Boxers and Christians, the converts bad driven off the Boxers from the mission and Li vowed vengeance. This he took iu a horrible manner when Norman was thrown into his hands. After his capture by the rioters, from whom Li took the captive, the missionary was stripped by the retinue of Li and a collar of iron fastened to his neck. A short chain was attached and he was tethered to a stake. The Chinese men, women and children then poked sharp sticks into liis flesh and jabbed him with tridents. When he sauk down, weak with the loss of blood and half crazed by the awful torture, and was unable to get upon his knees even, the chain being too short, he strangled slowly. Molteu lead was then thrown on his nude bodv and as he writhed in agony, he was stabbed to death. His body was cut to pieces. Robnson, the other mssiouury, was slaugthered without living so long in agony. He w’as cut down by a mob and hacked to peces almost instautly. A number of the mission converts were slaughtered. Some were asked to re cant and those who did so to save their lives were saddled and bridled at><> forced to crawl to the temple idols. THE HOT SPELL. Caumed Seventy Death» at Nrw Ye»ter«1ay. York New York, July 20.—The hot weather today caused or contributed toward the death of more than 70 per sons in this city and vicinity, As many more stricken ones are in the hospitals, and some of them will suc cumb before the night is over. More than half the fatabties were among babies and little children, ami tie-re are now about 40 bodies of the little ones lying at the morgue at Bellevue. This was the third day of the spell of intense heat. Late tonight the tem perature moderated. Eaily this morn ing the sun began its deadly work, and before the day was fairly well started the hospitals were busy.

NOTHING PROVES THEM ALIVE Another Account Come« Through 1 hat They Have Keen >».*»<• red — Itumor» A bo ut LI Ifl ung Chang"» Mi»»iou. London, July 25.—The Chinese min ister, Sir Chi Chen Leli Feng Loh, ha* communicated to the press the follow ing dispatch from Sheng, director of the Chinese railway* and telegraphs, aud Tao Tai, of Shanghai, dated Shang hai. July 23: “Information from Pekin, dated July 18, says that the Tsung Li Yamun de puted Won J ai, an under secretary of the department, to see the foreign min isters, and he found every one well, without any missing, the German ex cepted. General Yung Lu is going to memorialize the throne to send them all under escort to Tien Tsin, in the hope that the military operations will then be stopped.” The Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Mail, telegraphing July 23, says: “A letter from a Chinese official in Shang Tung has been received by an active functionary here, containing the following passage: “ ‘At the beginning of the month the foreign missionaries made seveial attempts to seud messages out of Pekin, but, thanks to the strict watch kept on the city, the bearers were all caught and executed. On the 4th inst. only 400 foreigners were left alive in Pekin, and one night, when the big guns were incessantly tired, it was known that all the legations and foreigners were fin ished, although pretended telegiams contradicted these facts.’ ” The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Daily Mail asserts that there are differences of opinion in the Russian council of war. The minister of war, General Kuropatkin, wishes to send 100,000 men to clear the rebels out of Manchuria. On the other hand, ac cording to thiH correspondent, Emperor Nicholas wishes the operations limited to the defense and pacification of the frontier districts. Let two strong armies, one of the allies in the south and the other of Russians in the north, confront the Chinese, and the rising —so the czar is said to argue—would he bound to collapse. “We want no conquests,” he is reported to have de clared at the conclusion , of the sitting □f the council. "What we desire is to protect our frontiers and to steer into smooth waters the Chinese ship of state, now buffeted by the waves o'. civil war.” There is nothing further.this morn ing that throws any light upon the mys terious situation. Two urgent dis patches wvxe addressed yesterday by the Chinese minister to the Pekin gov ernment and the administration of tel egraphs, strongly recommending the lestoratiou of telegraphic communica tion, so as to enable the powers to learn of the safety of the foreign min isters. Until such proofs are secured, no one here is inclined to alter the opinion that the Chinese are merely juggling to gain time. Rumor circulates briskly around the personality of Li Hung Chang. He'is credited with a mission to offer to cede to the allied powers two provinces as indemnity for the Pekin outrages and also to offer to restore order and give facilities for trade with the ontside world, on condition of the surrender of Kiao Chou, Wei Hai Wei and Man churia by the powers Bnd the with drawal of ail missionaries. Chine»e Laundries (’lose. Chicago, July 25.—The Chinese population of Chicago is perturbed over the reports from the various part* Of the city that Itecause of Caucasian an tipathv aroused by trouble in the Celes tial empire a boycott has been institut ed against Chinese laundries and truck farms. Wu Sung Lee, a hanker in Chinatown aud probably the richest Mongolian in the city, says four laun dries have been forced to suspend busi ness during the past week, and Chinese laundries generally report a falling off of 50 per cent in their business. Bank er Wu said today: “The white people think we are in sympathy with the Boxers, and that they have onr moral support. Nothing could be further from the truth. Every Chinese in the city regrets the trouble, aud ho|ies that the foreigners have not been murdered. Some of us have even authorized the Chinese consuls at San Francisco to offer to the Chinese government onr services aud our property, to the end that the foreigners, especially the Americans, iu China may be saved.” San Francisco, July 19.—The United States army transport Sumner, bearing a detachment of troops, surgeons and hospital assistants, sailed a today for Nagasaki where it is generally believed further orders will be received direct ing the vessel to proceed to Taku, Yellow Fever ar I'inar del Rio China.
