A Scotch Missionary Relates an Incident of
Chinese Barbarity.
A Beoteh missionary named Young, writ.
ing from Tien-Tsin, mentions the fact that
the Red Cross Society's steamer went to Port
Arthur after the capture of that place by the
Japanese, in November last, with surgeons
and others, including the Ameriean Consul,
intending to bring 1.000 wounded Chicese
from Port Arthur to Tien-Tein. But, Mr.
Young adds, the Japaneses cammanding gen.
eral, after two day's delay, refused to allow
the wounded to be removed, declaring that
they would be treated in the Japaness hos,
pitals, The Japanese commander also ore
dered the Red Cross Hoclety's steamer to
leave Port Arthur,
Fioaliy, Mr, Young says that they learned
before leaving Poit Arthur that the Chinese
previous to the fighting which resulted in the
capture of that place, burst into the hospital,
