Organized Bands at Work at Ching-Chow, s Seaport Town, and Other Places. THE HORRORS OF KU-CHENG. Mev. Or. Gregory, Who Escaped, Sends “The World” the De- LONDON, Aug. 8.—A despatch to the Pall Mall Gazette from Shanghai says that further and reliable news of an Qlarming nature has been received there, It {s stated that fanatical outbreaks @gainst the Christians have occurred at Ching-Chow, a seaport of the Province éf Fo-Kien, and at Hupeh, Taiping and ‘An-Hul, These outbreaks are not merely the work of Vegetarians, but are said to be organized and carried out by the Chinese officials, The extent of the @amage done, it appears, ts not yet known, but the foreigners are reported to have escaped. Owing to the unsettled state of the province 200 Sikhs, reliable British In- Qian troops from Hong Kong, will es- cort the British Consul from Foo-Chow to Ku-Cheng, where the Consul will con- duct an inquiry into the recent outrages, ‘The Shanghai correspondent expresses the opinion that further outrages are Mnevitable unless Great Britain “takes sewitt and deadly vengeance.” In regard to the despatch from Hong "Kong nouncing that the British and ‘American Mi is at Shan, near (Canton, were attacked yesterday after- oon by @ large and infuriated mob, hich demolished the hospitals and jused some of the missionaries to flee Shameen, it is stated that the Wes- ran Mission has one of the most im- nt medical missions in China at (Pat-Shan. ‘\ ‘The hospital and station are under 4 journey during which he was ar rested in Armenia as a spy. The rest of the mission staff of the Wesleyan Not Fat-Shan are Chinese. They were attacked a few years ago, upon which occasion a missionary was killed. At @ public indignation meeting, just held here, resolutions were passed ex- pressing anger at the supposed conniv- ance of the Chinese Government in the Ku-Cheng massacres and disgust att he apathy and indifference of the British Government in failing to recognize the gravity of the situation. Those present further declared that money compensation for such outrages is wholly inadequate and that swift and stern action is required. ain CHINA TO “THE WORLD.” Rev. Dr. Gregory Sends First De- tails of the Horrors of Ka-Cheng. (Copyright, 1895, by the Preve Publishing Company, York World.) @pecial Cable Despatch to The World.) FOOCHOW, China, Aug. 8—Dr. Gregory, an American missionary, who escaped from Kucheng, gives the following account of the massacre there: “At 12.30 P. M. on Thursday, Aug. 1, a native Christian rushed into my study, saying that several of the for- eign ladies at Hwasang, a mountain resort four puo (about twelve miles) from the city of Kucheng, had been killed that morning, and that two houses had been burned. “Fifteen minutes later a note from Mr. Phillips confirmed this. “He wrote that five ladies were dead, the Stewarts were missing, and four persons were seriously wounded, He expressed the hope that 1 was then on my way to Hwasang. “I immediately went into the Yamen, where hundreds of excited natives had already gathered, and requested the district magistrate, Uong, to send some soldiers at once to Hwasang to protect those still living. “In half an hour the magistrate went to Hwasang under an escort of about sixty soldiers, “At 3 P, M. I left Kucheng City un- der escort of thirteen soldiers, arriv- ing at Hwasang at 8. “At 3 P. M. I left Kucheng City under an escort of thirteen soldiers, arriving at Hwasang at 8 P. M., to find that nine adults, all British sub- jects, had been murdered, and that all those still alive at Hwasang—eight only— had been more or less severely injured, excepting Mr. Phillips, who arrived there only two or three days before, and was lodging at a native house some distance from the Eng- lish cottages, “I delayed in leaving Kucheng, owing to the fact that the coolies re- fused to carry chairs, “On my arrival I set to work to make the injured as conifortable as possible, “Miss Codrington received a sword g ‘HE WORLD: THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 8, 1895. cut extending from the left angle of her mouth diagonally outward and downward seven inches long, com- pletely dividing the lower lip and exposing the inferior maxillary bone; one cut on the crown three inches in length and quite down to the inner table of the skull; one cut across the nose beneath the right eye five inches long and an- other three inches long on the right side of the neck. The last two were skin wounds only, “There were also two contusions on the right arm and a deep, punctured wound oa the outside of the right thigh. Her condition {s serious. “Miss Mabel C. Hartford, of the Methodist Mission, the only American residing in Hwasang at the time, who who was living in a small native house some twenty rods from the English cottages, was attacked by one assas- sin armed with a trident. She re- ceived a slight cut in the lobe of the right ear, was thrown to the ground, beaten about the lower extremities and the body. “While the murderer was engaged in this attack a servant grappled with the asasilant, and during the struggle Miss Hartford escaped. “Miss Hellis remained hidden until all was over. Her nervous system sustained a serious injury. ‘Mildred Stewart, aged twelve years, received a wound on the outside of the right knee joint six inches long, exposing the joint, and two punctured wounds, one on the left leg and one on the left foot. Her condition is serious, “Kathleen Stewart, eleven years old, received several slight wounds and bruises about the face and the lower extremities. They are not serious. “Herbert Stewart, six years old, re- ceived a deep wound on the right side of the neck, four inches long; one on the crown which chipped the ex- ternal table of the skull; one on the back part of the head, four inches long, cleaving the skull and exposing the brain; a circular scalp-wound on the left side of the head, two and one- half inches in diameter; a small punc- tured wound in the anterior part of the chest and a stab in the back. “He died of the injuries thirty hours later on the road to Suikow. “Evan Stewart, three years old, was stabbed in the left thigh and received several bruises and scratches on the head and body. His condition is not serious, “Baby Stewart, thirteen months old, has a severe injury to the right eye, a small, penetrating wound in the left frontal region, which enters the cranial cavity, and several severe bruises on the head and body. “The injuries probably will prove fatal. “All the wounds apparently were made by the swords and spears, “Of those killed outright Mr, and Mrs. Stewart, Nellie Saunders and Lena Pellow, an Irish nurse, were almost wholly incinerated in the burned house. In all probability they were murdered before the house burned. “Kathleen Stewart saw Nellie Saunders lying unconscious on the nursery floor, and removed baby Stewart from beneath the dead body of the nurse, “Hessie Newcomb was cut on the left cheek and left hand, probably with a spear, and then was thrown over a steep embankment, where we recovered the body. “Miss Marshall's throat was fright- fully cut, and there was a deep sword- wound in the left wrist. “I failed to find any serious wound on the body of Miss Stewart. I am inclined to think she died from shock. This opinion is sustained by Miss Codrington’s report to me. “Miss Gordon received a deep spear- wound in the face, another in the side of the neck, and one on the right side of the head. “Topsy Saunders’s death was caused by a spear wound on the right side of the head, the weapon entering the brain, “The last three bodies were lying in one heap. “Apparently no post mortem mu- tilation had been attempted. “This frightful massacre was done by members of the secret society known as the Vegetarians, who have been causing much trouble alike to Christians’ and heathen in and around Kucheng City. “From various reports of those who saw the attack, I believe that about eighty men were engaged. They were armed with spears and swords, and seemed strongly organ- ized under one chief leader. “The attack came like a thunderbolt out of a clea: sky, not one of the victims having the slightest intima- tion of the intention to assault them. Thirty minutes from the time the onslaught commenced not a single Vegetarian was to be seen near the grounds of the massacre, “Miss Coddington tells me that the ladies were first seized and i ld that they were to be bound and taken away into captivity. “afterwards several faint-hearted attempts were made to kill them when they pleaded for their lives, “At this time the leader appeared upon the scene, and noting the waver- ing of the gang, shouted out to them: | “You know your orders, outright!” “These orders were at once obeyed. “Mr. Phillips and T worked all the latter part of the night placing the remains in coffins, “We finished the sorrowful about 8 PM. on the 2d. “Having finished placing the bodtes in the coffins and fearing to longer remain on the scene we undertook to secure transportation to Snikon “According to our request the dis trict magistrate had remained with his escort on the ground, so we at once appealed to him for chairs for the living and bearers for coffins. “After urgent pleading, and finally commanding, I was able to leave Hwasang at 3 P.M. “By travelling all that night 1 man- aged to reach Suikow, “At 8.30 on the marning of Aug, 3 there was the saddest, most appall- ing procession ever formed in China, “The magistrate had sent runners to Suikow by our orders and had im- pressed four native boats for us. We left for Foochow in the afternoon. “On the morning of the 4th we met a steam launch taking the Sub-Pre- fect to Suikow. I boarded her and tn- sisted on the launch towing our boats to Foochow, it being necessary to ar- rive there as svon as possible, since the effect of the extreme heat was proving serious “We were welcomed by and our hearts were devoutly thankful to United States Consul Hixson, for his prompt action and successful efforts in securing and immediately de- spatching a rescuing party, the pres- ence of which greatly relieved our fatigue and suffering during the re- mainder of the journey to Foochow. “At noon we met Mr. Gibbs, who kindly came in a houseboat to meet us, bringing more supplies. “We arrived at the United States Consulate on the jetty at Foochow, where Consul Hixson and a large party of friends soon had the injured comfortably resting on clean beds, “When the question {s raised as to the cause of the terrible massacre, one need have little doubt that the duty Vegetarians were the active partici-|} pants, and that the local and pro- vinelal authorities were directly im- plicated in the crime seems certain, for the society has been strong around | § Kucheng for two years and increas- ing. “The members have been growing bolder in their threats and acts as the months have passed. “Early in July last several hundreds attacked a village near Kucheng and killed and wounded several natives not Christians. “This never-punished Viceroy sent! § Kill them | dlers to assist the local authorities in settling with several termined savages, “Tt was & mere faree and the local officers were unable to do anything. But they eriminslly failed to prompt. ly demand reinforcements from the roy. “It is obvious to all who have given ter much thought that China nn encouraged to continue to slack tn caring for foreigner’ lives and property within her terri- tory by the fact that heretofore money indernity been accepted as the price of foreign blood spilt by murdurous subjects, “Just as long as the foreign powers are satisfied with such a seitlement of this wanton, barbarous destruction of life, Just so long will China fail to govern her people she should govern them in this enlightened ce: tury.. J. J. GREGORY be = MORE MISSIONS ATTACKED. Infurtate can HONG KONG, China Aug. 8.—The British and American missions at Fat-Shan, near Canton, were attacked yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon by a large and infuriated mob, The hospitais were demolished, Some of the missionaries fled Shameen, while others remained. A Chinese gunboat has been des- patched to quell the riot. It is reported that all the missions at Kwangtung will soon be destroyed and the missionaries driven to the treaty ports, The Vegetarians are 12,000 strong and well armed and organized and able to withstand the Chinese troops, STATEN ISLAND NOTES. to ‘Dougity againat Sa a protest from (he people rt 4 T.
