NEARLY nil the missionaries of the Methodist Episcopal church who were shut off by the rev olution In west Chinn nre now out of tho danger zone is the news ca bled to the board of foreign missions in New York by Bishop Hnshford from Shanghai. Twenty-four of those sent out by the board nnd sixteen of the Woman's Foreign Mlssloncry society have reached Shanghai from Chung king nnd Chongtu. The Itev. nnd Mnv Spencer Lewis. Dr. J. II.

The revolutionists Were under tho impression that the imperialists nt the South Gnto fort would Join them, so one night they made an nttack on the fort. The Imperialists hoisted u white (lag to mislead their enemy nnd when they ndvnnccd opopol tire upon them Lack of ammunition forced them to re treat, but they returned to the attack on the next night. Tho next day the German nnd American consulates mov ed to the warships at tho river pwt. the gates of the city were closed and the real siege began. There was much excitement. Dr. Hlnckstono writes, but the fourteen foreigners were confi dent they would come to no harm. Or der was maintained at the point of the sword, and nil who looted or disturbed were beheaded without trial. Dr. Blackstone saw one case of "Jus tice" delivered on tho spot. Three sol diers purchased 25 cents worth in n store, but paid only 10 cents. A rum pus followed, nnd an officer riding by dismounted nnd had the three soldiers beheaded. Three Mnnchu soldiers rob bed a missionary of $300. They were soon captured, beheaded and their bends carried on poles while a warning was shorted to all. Then followed wholesale beheading, for when the outbreak came it was suspected that many revolutionists were in tho city. A student passing the mission house was beheaded and his heart cut out. nis ricksha man suffered the same fate. Tho announcement that all cue- less chinamen would be beheaded, was i followed by a search of the city for j such, and the missionaries helped many to get away. .Revolutionists Take Fort. 'It was on a Thursday that we saw the hardest fighting," Dr. Blackstone writer "and It marked the time of victory. Harly in the evening the lx'i'ming of tho cannon nt the South Oato fort began nnd was soon follow ed by a continuous roar of musketry. We lb toned to this battle with intense inteiest. knowing that 'he revolution ists would make a desperate effort to capture the fort this time, as It was their fourth attack. The big guns shot forth red tiames. which (lashed against the smoke and clouds, adding to the welrdness of the tragedy. At one time we could hear spent bullets dr"iping near us. which were from i lie revolutionists tiring from the rar ther side of the fort toward the city.

Vbor. n perfect fusillade of explosions, heav ier than the musketry, followed, nnd Immediately nil was silent, and wc knew the fort had been taken. "Lntcr In the night very heavy fir ing started up nt the northeast gate, ontsldc of which there Is n high moun tain, within n hnlf mile of the wnll. There hnd been continuous light firing going on there for eighteen hours, nnd nfter midnight the firing Incrensed to n regulnr bombardment. The day previous we had seen the Imperial tents nt the first peak of this moun tain, where 250 imperial soldiers were stationed with rapid fire nnd mountain guns. Above them on n higher peak we had seen the revolutionists take a stnnd with mountain artillery. The fort just inside this northenst gate had two C-inch, two 4.7 inch nnd two 3-Inch guns, those being manned by Tnrtar soldiers, probably because this fort Is near to and overlooks the Tar tar City. On the north side of the city nro the Tiger nnd IJon II111 forts, both of which were in action In this battle. With the threp forts In action nnd the two mountain artilleries also, we had by far tho fiercest cannonading of the whole siege. Just before daylight a fierce msh was made, nnd tho victory was won. Eighty of the 'dare to die' band had charged the height and, with hand bombs, drove the imperialists in n wild flight down the mountain." Mere Boys cs Soldiers. Dr. Blackstone declares the work ol tho young soldiers, mere boys, was chnracter'zHl by the highest bravery and that, with proper training thin (vill make tho greatest lighters the world can produce. Negotiations for the surrender were conducted by Vice Consul Gilbert, the Rev. A. J. Bowen and a Mr. Tseo. When word came that General Janj: Hsuln hud tied through the north gale and escaped across the river the sol diers began to loot. The havoc they wrought, writes Dr. Blackstone. was awful. Tho local police went out after the looters. As fast as they worn caught they were beheaded in a bruta fashion. Two were caught at tho doc tor's gate. One was beheaded, and IV Interfered and saved the other man's life. The looting was not directed against the foreigners. The mutilnt ed bodies of soldiers were strewn about tho streets. Dr. Blackstone heard that tho gun ners In charge of the Imperial fort at Nanking were revolutionists and work ..i ed tho guns with the officers standing over them with drawn swords. They shot to miss. The mKslouaries witnessed the burn ing of tho Mnnchu city, a step made necessary because there were eighteen mines secreted there. The Mnnchus were well treated by the victors, nous being killed except those who resisted or who had arms hidden. The popu lace were delighted with the change, for they felt they were In the hands of their friends. Vlljoen a Mexican. General G. B.
