Some Narrations of the Chinese Atrocities. AS TOLD BY EYE WITNESSES' Story of Dr. Gregory and Mnbol Hartford. New York, Aug. 9. Tho World prlnta a special cablegram from Shang hai, China, giving the account of the massacre at Hwasang, written by Misa Mabel C. Hartford, ono of tho eurvlv ors of the massacre and the only one who witnessed It. Miss Hartford's statement is as follews: "August 1, at 7:30 a. m. I beard shouts. They were the yells of the servants, who rualicd in shouting for me to get up, for the vegetarians were coming, and tearing down tho house on the hill belonging to tho English missions, A few minutes later a teacher came to my door and told mo to run. I got my elbthes on and rushed to tbe door. I was met by a man with a spear, who yelled: 'Here is a foreign woman I' Ho pointed tho spear at my ohest. I twisted it to one Bide and It ust grazed my ear and head. Ho threw me to the ground and beat me with tbe wooden end of the spear, a servant came and wrenched it away from him and. told me to run. I jumped down an embankment pnd ran along tbo road. A servant assisted me until I got up on the side of a hill. I then lay dttvn there to get some breath. After resting twice I reached a Becluded Bpot and lay there. All this time the yells went on and two houses were burned to the ground. After a while the yells ceased. I supposed tbe vegetarians bad gone away. The ser vant went to see how 'matters were. He returned in half an hour telling me to come home, that five ladies of the English mission bad been killed and some bad been wounded, but that my house, a rented native house, bad not been troubled." ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Dr. Gregory, an American mission ary, who escaped from Ku Cheng, gives the following account of tbe massacre there: "At 12:30 p. m. on Thursday, August 1, a native Christian rushed into my study, paying that several of tbe for eign ladies at Hwasang, a mountain resort about 12 miles from tbe city of Ku Cheng, bad been killed. Fifteen minutes later a noto from Mr. Phillips confirmed this. He wrote that five ladies were dead. The Stewarts were missing and four persous were seriously wounded. I immediately went iuto theyauien, where hundreds of excited natives had already gathered, and requested Hie district mp.gltrate, Wong, t ueud more soldiers at once to Hwasang to protect those still living. In half an hour I ho magistrate Kul roe to Hwasang under an escort of about 63 soldiers. At 4 p. m, T left Ku Cheng city under an escort of soldiers, arrhlugat Hwanangat 8 p. m , to find that nine adults, all British subjoin, hid been murdered, and that all tbreo still alive at Hwasang eight only bid been more or less severely injured, "The injured, excepting Mr. Phillip, hid arrived there only two or three days before, and were lodging at a native bouse some distanco from the Eoelisb cottages. On my arrival we made tbe Injured as comfortab'e as possible. Miss Cordlngton received a sword cut extending from tbe left J ' It H&S fi Don't be Foolish BORDEN LBBRAKD angle of neryniouth, dlngonally out wardixjtnd uownward, Reven Inches lougMhjjgj)pel.v dlvtdlngvo .lower lip anoirpoatng the Interior maxillary bone, one rat ou the crown- three inches In length and quite deep into the skull; one cut across the nose be neath the right eye, live Inches long, and another three lnohes long on tho neck. There Wero two confusions on the right thigh. Her coudltlou is serious. "MIwj Mabel C. Hartford, of tbo Methodist mission, the only American residing in Hwhsaug, was assaulted by an assassin armed with a trident, bho received a slight cut in the right ear, and was thrown to the grouud and beaten about the lower extremities. When tbe murderer was engaged in tbis attack, a servant grappled with tbe assailant and during the strugglo Miss Hartford escaped. Miss Heiler remained hidden until nil wan over. Her nervous system sustained serious injury, "Mildred Stewart, aged 12, received a Wound on the outside of the right knee joint six Inches Jong. Her condition Is ssrlous. "Baby Stewait, 13 months old, has a severe injury to the eye, a small wouud in the left frontal region, which enters tbe crauial cavity, and several sovere bruises ou the head and body. Tbe injuries will probably prove fatal. "Of those killed outright Mr. t n I Mrs. Stewart,Nellle Saunders and Lela Pillow, an Irish nurse, were almost Incinerated in the burning house. We found Kate Stewart aud Nellie Saun ders lying unconscious on the floor, and removed baby Stewart from beneath the dead body of tbe nurse. Hessie Newcomb was cut on the left cheek" and on the left hand, probably by a spear. Miss Gordon received a deep spsar wound in the face, ono In tbe neck and another "in the light side of her bead. Katble&o Stewart, 11 years old, received several slight wounds and bruises about tho face and lower ex tremlties. Herbert "Stewart aged fi, received a deep wound on tho right side of the neck four Inches long, one on tbe crown and one on the back of the head, exposing tbe brain. He died on tbe roiul to Suikaw. Evans Stew art, aged 3, was stabbed in tbe thigh and sustained several bruises. His condition is not serious. Topsy Saun ders' death waa caused by a spear wound on tbe right side of the head, the weapon cleaving bis head. Tbe last three were lying In' one heap. No post mortem examination had been attempted. "This frightful massacre was done by a secret society known as tbe vegeta rians, wbioh is causing much trouble in and about Ku Cheng city. From reports of those who saw tbe attack, I believe about 80 men were engaged. Tbtj were armed with spears and swords and seemed ttrougly orguulzed under one chief leader. The attack came like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky, not one of tbe victims having tbe slightest Intimation of tbe intention to assault them. Thirty minutes from the time tbe onslaught commenced not a single vegetarian was to be been near the grounds of the massacre. "After urgent pleading and com maudlng I waBable to leave Hwasang about C p.m. Altar traveling all that night 1 managed to reach Suikaw at 8:30 a. m. August 3 Tbis was the saddest procession ever formed In China. The magistrate bad Bent run ners lo Suikaw by our orders, aud bad Impressed four uatiye boat for us. We left tor Foo Chow In tbe afternoon. Oa tbe morning of the 4th wo met a steam launch taklug tbe Bubprefect to Suikaw. I boarded her and Insisted on tbo launch towing our boats to Foo Chow, It being necessary to arrive there as soon as possible. "At noon we were wet by Mr. GIbbg who kindly came lo a houseboat lo meet us, bringing supplies. We ar rived at tbe consulate at Foo Chow, where Consul Hlxon aud a large party of friends soon bad the Injured com fortably resting. "When the question Is raised as to Ihe cause of the tdrvible massacre, one 'need bayo noooubt that vegetarians were the active participants, and that tho.local and provincial authorities were directly implicated in the crimes. Tbe members have beeu growiug In their threats afid acts as tho mouths have passed. Early in June last,. several hundred attacked a village "hear Ku Cheng and killed aud wounded several natives uot Christians. T ns never was punished. The .viceroy, sent to KuXheug two bundre'd'sol'diers to as sist the authorities against several thousand determined savages. It was a mere -larte and:ihe legal olllcors were uuabio tp 4um- auythlug but they crlniiually failed to urornptly demand reinforcements from tbe viceroy. "It Is obvious to all who have looked at the mattur, that the Cbintso liavo beeu encouraged to take foreigner's property In this province. Just as long as the foreigu powers urosu .tailed with tbe barbarous destruction of life, just so long will China fall to govern her people. "J. J. Ohkcioky.'' LATENT FROM U1IINA. New Youk, Aug. 9, The World prints tbe following special, dispatches from FooCluw, China: A mob has just looted tbo American mission chapel at lughok, fifty miles from here. Unless prompt and effec tive action Is taken, there is danger of gum riots in olbur places. The Chi nese soldiers bent lo Ke Cheng .to.pro tect foreign property plundered tbo Stewart residence. No American gun boat has come hero. Tho situation Is critical. Au ofllcial on his way to this' city jfrom Ku Cbehg was killed yesterday. There Is no American proteclton. Tho American government's neglect is In famous, The evidence already obtulned shows that tbe massacre at Hwasang waa plau nod at least a week before hand. The forefgn consuls have the names of tbe leaders in It and some of the participants. An t fllcial from Fo Chow sent 210 soldiers iuto that section July 24 to prevent ihb vegetarians from murder lug Chinese. The vegetariens thought tbe missljunrles had caused tho troops to be sent, and decided to kill them. They began Immediately to gather at a ceitalndeslguated place. In passing through tho villages on their way to the rendezvous, tho vegetarians de clared their Intention to destroy tbo churches and to kill the Christians. Tho local ofllolals know of this, but they did nothing to protect or oven warn the foreigners. Tho niglit beforo tbo inaBsacio a na. tlve pastor in Ku Cheng heard tho vegetarians' were going to kill tho for eigners tho next day. Ho wrote a let ter of warning to Mr. Stewart at Hwa sang. but delayed pending It until daylight. Ttio messenger arrived half an hour too late. Dr. Gregory woh in the city of Ku Cheng at tho time, but he was not notified. Tho foreigners had no .suspicion of tho Intended slaughter. A Democratic Problem in Ohio Also. DDRAKT TRIAL WILL PROCEED.

"i regard tho proposition for govern ment aid In tho construction of tho Nicaragua canal ono of tho most Important measures that has over como beforo the American congress," ho said. "It Is au onterpri; o In which tho whole world Is Interested and especi ally are the states and territories of tho Pacific coast most vitally Interested. Tho construction of this canal under government control, as It should be, will bring tbo wheat product of this coast.over 10,000 miles nearerJLlverpoo), tbe wheat market, than It la tndnv The argumonts, In my Judgomont, In favor of tbe speedy construction of tills great publlo work aro overwhelming and unanswerable. I am strong In tbo belief that tho coming congress will pass a bill providing for the early con etructlon of this canal under tho control of tho United States as lo tbo con struction aud operation. During the last session of congress tho senate, after elaborate debato, covering most of tbo subect, passed such a bill by a majority often voles.
