An American
Tells How
Many Religious Workers In Be
sieged City Were Witness
es of Battle.
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. McCnrtncy
nnd tho Iter. W. B. Slanly remain bo

tians. Tho others nre now attending
the west China conference in Shang

Dr. nnd Mrs. C. W. Freeman, the Itev.
and Mrs. Elrlck Williams nnd the fain,
lly of Dr. McCartney nre leaving abort
ly for America.
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

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.

big charge was made, the great tmn

roar or tne milsUctry aoutneu. 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.

of the religious census. The total gain
of all churches was 594.000. The in
crease is lesjs than 1.7 per cent.
"It cannot be considered nt nil satis
