NO ORDERS TO FIRE
I
Reason Why Kempff Did Not Attack
Chinese Forts.
HIS COURSE WARMLY COMMENDED. I
i
fie Gives Satisfactory Reasons Why
He Did Not Participate in the Attack !
cn the Taku Forts.
Washington, D. C., Special.?The navy
Department has made public the
mail report of Rear Admiral Kempff,
explaining his reasons for refusing to
join with the skip* of the powers in the
attack on the Taku forts. Rear A~dmiral
Kempff's explanation for refusing
to participate in the attack on the
fortifications of a power with which
we are at peace was warmly commend- '
ed by Secretary Long. Admiral
Kempff's first report says:
On Thursday, June 14, Rear Admiral
Bruce called and asked what I thought
of the matter and I informed him that
I was not authorized to initiate any 1
act of war, with any country with
which my country was at peace; that
I would profvt American interests. 1
both by regulations and under recent
instructions from both the Navy Department
and from the commander-inchief
of the United States naval force '
on the Asiafic station.
"On the 15th, at a consultation of the '
other foreign naval offlcers, it was
agreed that the railroad station at
Tong Ku should be taken (the railway
is under Chinese government control)
and in case any Chinese government
force acted against the force or any for.
eign nation, all should be involved and
act unitedly. Unguided by instructions
I could not join in taking possession'of
Chinese government property and did
not care to become a party to such an
agreement without special authority.
June 16t)i the same naval officers
signed a compact that it was necessary
to take temporary possession of the
Taku forts and notice was served on
the viceroy at Tien-Tsin and on the
commandant of the forts. Consuls at
Tien-Tsin were informed of what was
contemplated. I did not join in the attack
on the forts. Captain Wise, of
the Monacacy, had orders to protect
American intere:t3 based upon the Department's
orders, but in case of attach
by a Chinese government force, he was
ffflto consider it a declaration of war
and act accordingly."
A second report says: "The commanding
officers of the gun-boats in
the river met on the afternoon of June
16 and agreed for the senior officer ol
the gunboats to direct the movement.
This officer happened to be a Russian.
The positions for the various boats
were then assigned, taking positions
in the second reach of the river above
North Fort. The United States steamship
Monacacy being under orders remained
moored at Tong Ku and took
no part in the'action.
"The Algerne, having aboard a landing
party of some 650 men, immediately
put th.em ashore. A portion of them
advanced through Taku to the navy
yard, and took by surprise four new
modern torpedo boats, carrying two
tubes and six three-pounders each, and
convoyed by the Fame and Whiting,
took them to Tong Ku. The other
landing parties and the remainder of
the English, aggregating some 650,
awaited an opportunity f:r assault.
The firing continued with more or les3
spirit until daylight, when it became
very rapid and active, and. it is reported,
very disastrous to the Chinese.
About 4 SO a shell entered the magazine
of the Guilak, blowing it up, causing
her to take water and burning 47 men
more or less severely. She got over an
awnirg (as a collision mat) and after
a few hour.: work was floating at her
normal height.
About 5 a. m., the gunboat? having
silenced the northweet fort, a landing
force charged and occupied it, where
hoisting the flag, a f:w casualties occurred,
notably the captain of the Japanese
landing party, and one English
sailor killed and several wounded. The
Chinese then abandoned North Fort,
which is joined in the northwest fort
by a protected passage. After about
two hours more the south forts were
taken, after the explosion of the magazine.
Mcst of the occupants fled, but
were not pursued."
Russia to Open Fire.
Txradon, By Cable.?The Dally Express
has the following from St. Petersburg:
"Admiral Skrydeloff, commanding
the Russian squadron in
Chinese waters, has received precise
instructions to bombard the Chinese
coast towns immediately on reoeipt of
confirmation of the report of the massacre
at Pelun."
Soldiers Killing Boxers.
Tie;i-Tsin, By Cable.?Chinese coming
in fn.ni the country report that
the Chinese soldiers are killing the
Boxers wherever the latter are seen,
giving as a rea-on that the Boxers deceived
theb into embarking on a hopeless
struggle. An intelligent Chinaman
said he regarded this as a sign cf widcsprcading
cf dissention. It "was only a
matter of a short time, he declared, before
the same state will exi t in Pekin.
when in all probability, Jung Lu,
commander-in-chief of the Chinese
forces, the Prince Chlr.g would be able
to regain sufficient influence to make
peace and especially if the foreigners
1 in the oauital wore safe.
THE STATE FARMS.
Good Crop Prospects and Cood Health
Among the Convicts.
The State farms of South Carolina
comprise abotti 5,000 acres, and are in
Sumter and Kershaw counties. The
DeSaussure farm is in Sumter and the
Reed farm in Kershaw, the county line
being the line between the two farms.
The DeSauttsure farm is managed by
Mr. W. R. Gardner of Kershaw county,
who is considered a g^od farmer.
Two hundred acres of Mr. Gardner's
farm is in cotton. A low estimate of
the yield would be 175 to200 bales.
srr? .wpre sov.n in wheat.
which yielded 930 bushels, measured
from the threher. Three hundred and
fifty acre* were in oats, which yielded
10,000 bushels. These oats have hee.u
threshed ard are now In one large
t.aru. The barn is 120 x 40 feet and the
iloorLscoverodto xfs shrd shrd emfwes
floor is covered to a depth of about four
feet.
The most of the land that was in
wheat and oats has been sown in peas.
On this farm there are about 500 acres
in corn, the yield of which is yet uncertain,
as the mostof it is late. The
early plantings though will make from
40 to 60 bushels to the acre.
The Reed farm contains about the
same, in acreae. as the DeSaussure,
and is directed andsupervised by Mr.
J. H. Morris of Marlboro county, a
practical business man. The acreae in
cereals and cotton is about the same as
that of the DeSaussure. but the outlook
at present is that the yield in both cotton
and corn will considerably exceed
that of the DeSauasure. Mr. Morris has
about 300 acres of corn, which at a low
estimate will yield 75 bushels per acre.
In addition to these staple crops these
farms raise abundance of syrup, potatoes,
rice, vegetables, etc., to supply
them.
Under the present managemetn the
farms are not only self-sustaining, but
are asounce of considerable revenue to
the State. When Messrs. Morris and
Gardner took charge last March one
year there w-s not corn enougu w laij,
three months, consequently they had
to buy all the corn they u?ed from
June until the erop3 were made and
harvested. There Is now on each of
the farms plenty of corn to carry them
through, after having sold 2,000 bushels
esch to the penitentiary. They
have also sold large quantities forage
such as peavine hay, shreaded corn and
fodder, and Mr. Morris says that he
has enough left to run the place another
year without touching this year's
product.
The labor of the farms consists of
120 to 150 convicts, who run 68 plows.
Everything moves along without friction,
and the mc-n seem happy and contented.
Col. J. D. Griffith, of - the penitentiary*
vicitc tha farm? ahout once a
month and gives dlrcetion and suggestion.
The greatest drawback to these
farms has heretofore been that they
were not healthy, but Col. Griffith has
to'a great extent improved their health
by having deep wells bored over the
farms at convenient points for the
hands to get water while working in
the fields. The water from one of
these wells (and they are all alike) has
been examined by the State chemist
and pronounced a good and safe drinking
water. The sanitary conditions of
the Reed farm are such that any small
town in the State would do well to pettern
after.
"There is not a case of fever or any
sickness on the place nor has there
been this spring."
Wlnthrop Tructees.
The executive committee of the board
of trustees of Winthrop College met in
the college parlor Thursday night. Gov.
McSweeney, Senator Tillman, Supt.
McMahan, Mr. W. J. Roddey, and Dr.
T. A. Crawford being present. The
meeting was held, says ihe Rock Hill
Herald, to look after some details in
connection with the building of the
new dormitory. The board decided to
put a new slate roof on the new building
instead of tin. The board also! decided
that owing to a lack of funds it
would for the present abandon the idea
of erecting a separate building for the
model school, but would continue the
school in the rooms of the main building
heretofore used for that purpose.
The board accepted with regrets the
resignation of Prof. Breazeale. His
suocessor has not been chosen.
New Enterprises.
The Exchange Brokerage Company,
of Charleston, was chartered with a
