Eyewitnesses of tlie first raid by
Boxers on Tien-tsiu and the bombard
ment of the Taku forts by the foreign
gunboats arrived at San Francisco on
the steamer Coptic the other day from
Shanghai. The most vivid story of
the Chinese uprising is told by the
liev. Robert Coltman, pastor of the
Presbyterian church at I.a Junta,
Colo., says the New York Sun. With
his wife he escaped from Tien-tsiu on
June 10 by military train to Taku, go-
Jug thence 011 the Chinese steamer Fie
C'hun to Shanghai. While in Peking
early in May the ltev. Mr. Coltman
dined with Minister Conger and talked
over the situation with him.
"We went to China to visit my
daughter, wife of Professor Clifford of
the Imperial university at Tien-tsin,"
said Mr. Coltman.. "Then we went to
Peking to visit my son, Robert Colt
inau, Jr., physician resident there. He
Is a professor of medicine in the Im
perial university. We were in Peking
early in May, leaving there on the Bth
to go to Poi-Tai-Ilu, a seaside resort,
which we never reached. While in Pe
king Minister Conger dined with my
son, and we had a talk over the situa
tion as it then presented itself. The
Boxers at that time were drilling right
In the streets of Peking, and 1 was very
apprehensive. Minister Conger con
sidered the danger not particularly
threatening and seemed to place great
credit in the assurance of the tsung-li
yamen. I told liim I did not agree witli
him. and lie assured me that there was
no danger.
"Over a month was spent by us at
Tien-tsin. The Boxers were more
threatening, and native Christians from
all parts of the country began to flock
to 1 lie mission compounds at Tlcu-tsin.
They were in mortal terror of the Box
ers, and with all their worldly posses
sions tied in small bundles went from
gate to gate imploring the foreigners
to protect them. It was a pitiful sight
as they asked lis with tears in their
eyes: 'What shall wo do when you go
away? We shall all be killed.'
"On either skle of the Taku road lie
tiie compounds of the foreign missions.
Each compound Is a rectangle, sur
rounded by a brick wall about ten
feet high, dates are cut through these
walls so that persons in an extremity
can run from one to another and reach
the British or French concessions,
which adjoin the compounds. The
Britisli concession is laid out like nuy
ordinary Britisli or American city, with
excellent buildings and good streets.
"Early iti June American marines to
the number of 107 came to the Ameri
can hoard of foreign missions com
pound and encamped. Captain Me-
Calla was 111 general charge of the
forces on land, and the marines In the
compound were in command of En
sign Daniel W. Wurt/Jiaugh. Oil the
night of Saturday, June 0, word hav
ing been received from the legations nt
Peking that help must be had at once,
a meeting of consuls and commanders
was held at Tien tsin. Captain Mc-
Calla was spokesman for the Ameri
cans. The Russian consul must have
had the most adequate conception of
the troubles ahead, for lie declared that
he would not undertake to reach Pe
king with less than 15,000 men. The
British officers were silent. When Cap
tain McCnlln was called oil for advice,
lie snill that he had advices that the
lives of Americans were in jeopardy in
Puking and that he intended to start
next morning to tlielr relief, whether
tiie other forces went or not. Then
British commanders and others agreed
to go, and the result was the ill fated
expedition under Admiral Seymour. 1
thought until today that this expedi
tion got through to Peking without
trouble.
"After the departure of Captain Mc-
Calla and the forces matters became
rapidly worse at Tien-tsin. The air
wax tilled with sinister rumor and busi
ness came to a standstill. Eusigu
Wui'tzhaugli kept Ids American ma
rines ready for any emergency. Final
ly, ou the night of June 15, soon after
midnight, the Boxers rose en masse
and set lire to the native chapels, the
French cathedral and many other
buildings. There was n terrific uproar
among the Chinese and foreigners—a
reign of terror. The American marines
were roused to arms and all night
stood ready to defend the foreigners in
tiie compounds. The tire was con
fined to the native city, to the west
ward, and the Hue of flame seemed to
he about a mile long. We could hear
musketry and shouting In the distance,
nnd lire after tire sprang up until we
thought the whole native city was go
ing up in smoke.
"Detachments of foreign forces line
rled hero and there during the night
protecting lives and property. The
Boxers attacked the railroad and tried
to burn it ami the station, but were
driven off by the Russians. Nothing
more than a desultory attempt was
made to attack the compound where
we were. The lighting and flro were
confined mostly to the native quarter,
where native Christians were killed.
"The next morning the bodies of
about 100 Boxers were found lying
liore and there. I saw numbers of
bodies being devoured by dogs.
Trenches were hastily dug, and the
unlive authorities gathered up the hod-
lea by tying ropes around tlielr legs
and dragging them off to burial. That
morning hundred# of poor native Chris
tians huddled into the mission com
pounds and begged for shelter. The
foreign noncombatnnts were all in a
fever of apprehension, and most of
them determined to get away by the
first possible means. Native Christians,
learning this, begged on their knees to
be saved from the savagery of the
Boxers.
"On tiie morning of the 16th Mr.
Clifford went to hire a tug to take us
to Taku, which is down the Pei-Ho 28
miles. No tug could be had. The au
thorities prohibited the departure of
any vesels. We accidentally learned
that a military train was to leave for
Taku in 45 minutes. Permission was
obtained to board this train, and we
hastily packed our belongings and
reached the train. The Chinese en
gineers, firemen, brakemen and station
men deserted in terror, leaving the
trains standing.
"Our train consisted of an engine
and two or three coaches. Preceding
It was a train composed of an engine,
a flat ear upon which was a rapid fire
gun, followed by another flat car bear
ing an engine and a dynamo operating
a searchlight and still another flat
car with another rapid fire gun. This
military train was in command of Brit
ish officers, and the men handled the
engine and brakes. Our train was
handled by a German officer In uni
form, with his hand on the throttle,
and American marines did the firing.
We left Tien tsin at 2 p. in. ami arrived
at Taku in the evening. In our imme
diate company were my wife and our
daughter, Mrs. Clifford, her husband
and their 4-weeks-old baby. My grand
son, Robert Coltman, Jr., was to join
us from Peking to accompany us back
to the States, but the Boxer troubles
closed down so suddenly that he could
not reach Tien-tsin.
"Arriving at Taku, we hired a sam
pan to convey us out to the Chinese
steamer Fje Chin, which lay at anchor
ready to sail for Shanghai. We readi
ed the steamer in safety. We could
see the lights of the foreign gunboats
lying in another bend of the river,
which forms a letter C at that point.
We could not sail that night for some
reason or other and lay in company
with other merchant vessels at anchor.
At 12:15 o'clock on the morning of
June 17 the bombardment of the for
eign gunboats by the forts began. The
gunboats returned the lire immediate
ly. We were lying up the river, with
gunboats between us and the forts.
Whenever tlie Chinese in the forts
tired too high their shells went scream
ing over us or struck the water about
us. We were directly in the line of
fire. There was a panic 011 board, in
tensified by the fear that the native
crew of the Fie Chin might prove
treacherous.
"Beginning with a few desultory but
fairly well directed shots, the firing on
both sides soon developed into a'tre
mendous duel of shells. Shell after
shell screamed over our heads. Some
exploded on the river surface, sending
up a column of water; others skipped
over the water and struck the opposite
bank, where the bodies of a number of
Chinese were found at daylight. It
was a wild and terrible scene, moon
light being rendered ghastly by the
frequent illumination of the explosions.
"How we ever escaped being scut
tled 1 cannot imagine. We stood ready
to take small boats at a moment's no
tice. Between our steamer and the
gunboats was a fleet of Chinese gun
boats lying in a wide sweep of the riv
er. Some of the foreign gunboats at
tacked them, and that added to the
uproar and confusion. Sometimes
there was such a glare of fire from the
ships that we thought them afire. Shot
and shell poured back and forth un
ceasingly for several hours. We did
not see the land operations, but after
daylight we soon discovered that the
forts were in the possession of the for
eign forces. The Chinese gunboats,
dismantled and half burning and con
taining dead and wounded, were towed
past us up stream, the prizes of the
powers. Our steamer got under way
that morning, and we went down past
the gunboats and forts to the gulf and
on to Shanghai. The battleships and
cruisers were out beyond the bar, out
of range of the forts and therefore un
able to assist the gunboats.
"We arrived at Shanghai on June 23
and were fortunate enough to catch
the Coptic, leaving that afternoon. I
had heard nothing since the bombard
ment, but the events that transpired
while we were at sea do not surprise
inc. It is as I feared—the Chinese em
pire is aflame against foreigners. The
worst lias come to pass, and Minister
Conger's credulity and good faitli in
the Chinese have probably # eost his life
and the lives of all the other foreign
ers in Peking.
"The Boxers as a body are ignorant,
miserably poor and deluded fanatics.
They are used and directed by intelli
gent men. The movement spread like
wildfire—exactly as though it were re
ceiving powerful aid from those in
authority. Boxers carried ou their
drills and exercises in Peking under
the eyes of the government unmolest
ed. 1 did not see these drills, but they
were described to nic by many who
had seen them. The Boxers formed
in companies, facing south and east
ami west, and went through various
gymnastic excercises, repeatedly bow
ing and uttering incantations. At one
point in the exercise they bow lower
and lower until they touch the ground
with their foreheads and cry out as if
addressing their gods. All this, they
are led to believe, makes them invul
nerable to bullets. Consequently they
go into battle with the fanatical cour
age of people who believe their lives
are charmed. For weapons they have
everything they can scrape together,
from modern weapons to clubs. Many
of them have no weapons at all, ex
cept their own hands. They wear red
sashes, but no other sign of uniform."

The army was in motion ami the road
frequently so crowded with troqps as
to render It necessary for us toiuiake
a detour to one side. And as woiwere
dashing through a field of oats 4l ob
served a fat old farmer, with flaming
countenance, making ills way from his
bouse to the roadside to intercept us.
As we rode up he opened tlie vials of
ids wrath and rated us roundly for
4 a-ridin' through his oats. The general
mildly replied that he regretted the ne

that the road was blocked- with sol
diers, and it was important for us to
reach the front. But old Hayseed's

A pretty music teacher was return

of flowers, the gifts of her pupils, when
she met a friend, and the two stopped
to speak to each other.
While they were thus engaged an old
Italian, whose companion was grind
ing melancholy tunes out of a wornout
liurdy gurdy, approached and stood he
side them, shaking his hat in dumb
show of begging.
The teacher had 110 purse with her
and therefore paid 110 attention to the
man. But so persistent was he that
she thoughtlessly and impulsively turn
ed and said:
"I have no money! Here, take these
flowers!"
The Italian, unused to such a favor,
which in his native land is considered
a great compliment, looked at her for
n -moment in startled surprise; but,
quickly recovering himself, he bowed
low, so that his hat almost touched the
ground, and, with a smile in which hu
mor and gratefulness struggled for su
premacy, he repeated again and again,
while he continued to bow and scrape:
"Nlea lada! Gooda lada! Nlca lada!"
The chagrin of the teacher may he
imagined as she hastily left the group

was unabashed and continued to call
after her:
