London, Aug. 4.?The Telegraph j
to-morrow will print a dispatch from ;
Shanghai stating that the massacre at ;
Kocbecg occurred on July 31. The !
officials suppressed the news for three i
days. The. names of the killed are '
Miss Elsie Marsgall. Miss Annie Gor
don. Miss Bessie Newccmb and Miss
Fiora Stewart, all of the English Ze- ?
nana mission ; Miss Nellie Sanoders, j
Mise Topsy Sanoders, Rev. Dr. Stew- ]
art aod Mrs. Stewart of the Church
Missionary Society. Five of Mr. and j
Mrs. Stewart's children were killed
aod two survive. One bad one knee
broken, and the other, a baby, lost ao
eye. The following were saved : Miss
Hartford of the American mission. Miss :
Ooddiogton of the Eoglist Zeoaoa
mission, aod Rev. H. S. Phillips of the
English Church Missionary Society.
United States Cocui Hixson, who is j
stationed at Foo Cbow. with a party
ofvoinnteers, upon receipt of the news
of tbe massacre, started oo a steam
launch for the scene, and has returned,
bringing with him the wounded Ameri
cans. The experiences of the survivors
were terrible. They say that death
was the least part of the sufferings of
the butchered women.
Tbe indignation here is intense. j
Nevertheless, the maoy war ships in !
tbe harbor are idle A mass meeting
bas been arraoged for to-morrow to j
protest against the lack of eoergy od |
tbe part of the authorities and to urge
that reparation be made, and that the
guilty persons be punished. The man
darins endeavor to blame certain secret
societies for the outrage. Europeans, 1
however, regard this as nonsense
The officials are renewing their old
tactics of stopping telegrams. The re
ports of tbe outrage are rather mixed.
Tbe latest stye it is now known that
ten persons were killed, including Miss j
Lena Stewart and Dr. Stewart's whole j
family except two. The American mis*
siooaries, M res Hartford aod Dr. Greg
ory, escaped, but tbe former was fear
fully injured. Several English and
American children were killed.
The Standard to-morrow will demand
that tbe murderers be visited with con
dign punishment and that a stern ex
ample be made of tbe officials who vir
tually connived at the commission of ;
tbe crime. The paper will say :
'If the Emperor cannot or will not
protect British residents, we must give
him assistance of a kind be will not
welcome."
Tbe Chronicle will say it trusts that
Great Britain and the Uoited States
will combine to teach the ('hi?ese a les
son that will cause foreigners to be
respected forever, but in view of the
conditions existing in the country, the
bodies sending missionaries there, and
especially women, incur the gravest
responsibility. The whole question,
the Chronicle adds, ought to be recon
sidered.
The Times will say : "Tbe outrage
must, of course, form tbe subject of
strong representation to China from
Eoglaod. and probably from the link
ed States also. It must not be passed
over as a trifle. Immunity of the mur
derers would cause a standing menace
to tbe lives and property of the whole
European community in China."
A Japanese Romance.
Of Count Ito, tbe distinguished 1
Japanese statesman, Sir Edward Ar-,
nold, gives this interesting incideot : j
**I sat at table with the ex-p-emier and !
bis wife and children The, countess,
quiet, gentle, motherly and wearing
spectacles, carving the tai and tbe ;
kamo with such matronly serenity?had
yet a history of romaoce and devotion
which could make tbe wildest fictionist's
fortune.
"Long ago, in these dark and
bloody days when the minister was her
lover aod a fugitive from his enemies,
there came a time when they bad track
ed bim to her boose and bad chosen a
band of Soshis to assassinate bim. Tbe
noise of tbeir clogs aod tbe rat
tling of their scabbards were heard and
tbe count, trapped like a stag in his
mountain pleasacce, drew his Bizen ;
blade and prepared to die, as a :
Japanese lord should, amid a circle of
dead fees. But while be murmured
'Saganore!' and knitted his fingers
around tbe shark skin bilt of his sword,
that brave lady whose guest I was,
whispered : Do not die, there i? hope
still, upen which she removed the
bibachi or fire box, over which they
were sitting, and lifting up the matting
and planks beneath, induced her lover
to conceal bimserf in the hollow space
which exists under the floor of ai!
Japanese homes The morder?is broke
into the room, a ferocious band, just as
the fire box had been replaced and tn<
countess hud assumed a position oi -
chalanee.
"They demanded their victim and
when she protested agaiss- their intru
sion and bilde them search if they want
ed Iro. the wretches dragged her around
the apartment by ber long, beautiful
black hair?now touched with sil
ver?aod grievously maltreated her,
but could not shake her resolute fidel
ity. Thanks to this Count Ito, the
hero of many another strange adven
ture, escaped from the chief peril of
bis career and has lived to give his
country a new constitution and to be
one of tbe foremost and best respected
statesmen of modero Japan.7'
