the State' Department, under today's date, that American missionaries At

aries at those places escaped, but two adults and two children of the
-Kingman family were killed.

ly to Kinktang, where it will arrive Wednesday. The scene of the trou.

aries'there were received today at the Methodist board of foreign mis
sions.
A cablegram frofn Bishop Bashtord, at Shanghai, says: “Mission at

/ Official Opinion at Washington.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—Officials here ^accept Consul-General Rod
gers' suggestion that the trouble at Nan Chang Is local and that there is
little apprehension that it will spread. It is believed that the: incident
Justifies the-operations now under way from a military viewpoint.
The report that an English subject has been killed is the most serious
phase ot the affair, as it may be made a basis for forcible measures by
the British government, which would inflame the entire Chinese popula
tion.
