Tho disturbances you wroto about wero nt' Ilonan, hundreds of miles away in tho interior, and it was not caused by Boxers nt nil. It was simply a food riot. Tho pcoplo had small crops, and did not false enough to keep themselves in food, so thoy raised n riot and tried to compol the ofiicinls, who wore all Chinese, to feed them. When tho ofiicinls refused, tho rioters ran them out of tho 'Villages and cities. It was simply a disturb- nnco among tho Chineso thcmsolvcs, and no foreigners were noar. In fact, I don't bclievo nny foreigners over hnv6 been nt tho placo where tho dis turbance was. So that was tho sum and substance of tho "Boxer upris ing" that the papers at homo havo been mnklng such n fuss. over. I havo read somo of tho American reports here, nnd the' aro porfectly ridicu lous. As soon ns tliero Is tho least tioublo or Hiitl-foreigu movement in nny part of China wo will hear it hero becauso there is a consulnto horc, and tho United States has n consul hero, Mr. Gracio. aud ho must lot us know it thoro is tho least disturbance, and ho would toll us before there was oven the beginning of Buch an uprisiug as you wroto mo about, bo as wo haven't heard even the least hint of nn in tended riot,. I think I will ,bo. safe In saying that there has not boon nny. Don't bclievo everything you read in tho newspapers, becauso thoy havo a fncultv of cottlnc exaggerated reports. You must remember that", according to the newspapers, Port Arthur had fal len 17 times boforo I left homo, but when I got over hero I found it still stnnding. Also tho Yladlvostock squadron was entirely destroyed, and p. few days later it was engaged in bat tle around Port Arthur. Last weok n crowd of Bovon of us went out to tho Ming tombs. It Is n placo whero tho emperor of tho Ming family is buried. You, know that Nanking wns, in years gono by, tne oapitnl of tho Chineso empire. Tho Ming family was in power during this timo. Tho emporor whoso tomb wo visited was ruling about 000 years ago, or just before Columbus discovered America. He is burled on n utuo knoll, and dirt wns brought from every provinco in China (at that time there were 13 of them) to cover his grave. Over tho little uui nro limit ed trees from ovory part or uuma, nnd nil of this is enclosed by a-high stono wnli. In front of tho grave is a queer sort of building that I cannot describe. It is of stono with a smaller portion on top of red sun-dried brick. This uppor portion Is simply a square of arches. Thero aro stairways of stono lending up to this upper por tion, and from hero ono can seo for miles around.
