CHINESE SLAV FRAIL WOMEN American Missionaries Are Sub jected to Revolting Treatment. NAMES OF VICTIMS KEPT SEIT English and American Residents of Shanghai Demand That City of Pekin Be Destroyed. Copyright Associated Press dis patches annesnneing that the American government 'refuses to agree to the withdrawal! -df the troops from Pekin before satisfaction for the outrages upon and The losses c fi its subjects is given have been received in Shanghai and are pplauded by the entire for eign edlony in Shanghai, Any other policy, according to the business men and missionaries with whom the Asso ciated Tress representative has talked will fatal blow to the prestige of the foreigners and would weaken their status in China. The local English papers fiercely denounce the proposals to evacuate Pekin and say that the Chinese inter pret evacuation as defeat. The masses of Chinamen now believe that the Chi nese arms are victorions. The Chinese papers printed in Shanghai contain long, circumstantial accounts of alleged Chinese victories at Tien Tsin and Lnng'Chao Si and the shops and na tive quarter display for sale lurid pho tographs of the celestial army driving the European soldiers into the sea at Taku and tearing them to pieees at Tien Tsin. They also show pictures of the for eign admirals being tortured in the presence of the viceroys. Vice Ad miral Seymour is represented,with his arms pinioned kneeling before the throue. The people accept these re ports and pictures as correctly repre senting the facts and anything contra ry was merely foreign lies. The European community continues to demand the destruction of Pekin and the exemplary punishment of the officials, and deeming indemnity and paper promises of new treaties inade quate. Undoubtedly the massacre of foreigners recently received inflames this sentiment. The dowager empress is living in the Yamen atTai Yuan Fu, in Shan Si province. Fifty mission aries have been slaughtered in that yamen under orders, practically in the presence of the viceroy. Three were beheaded in the inner court and others were killed barbarously in the yards. The bodies were thrown to the dogs. The Associated Press representa tives learn from official sources the fact of the killing of several American women missionaries. At the request of the mission board the details were withheld out of re gard for the feelings of the relatives of the murdered women; but o her prominent Americans who have long antagonized the policy of sending wo men to isolated inland posts, think it important that the facts should be known. The names of the victims are withheld by request. Two of these women were captured while attempt ing to leave the stations where they were located, were led about the coun try naked, repeatedly outraged and finally killed by a method too revolt ing to be described. Two other American women were coming to the coast with a party which a number of Chinamen followed and stoned. The women fell exhausted and were taken by the Chinamen into the presence of the local officials. They were prostrated upon the execu tion block and a feint was made of her being beheaded. One of them became hysterical and laughed, and, thinking her insane, the Chinese escorted their to the coast because of their supersti tion regarding the insane. On the journey, however, the woman was re peatedly criminally assaulted by h£r escort The other woman being ex hibited naked for some days suffering Assault by several men and was tortur to death by the same shameful method* as were practiced in other cases. I'wo Swedish missionary women ar rived at Shanghai after similar expe riences, except that their lives were "Pared. The fourteen English mis sionaries, including six women and four children who were murdered at °hu Chau, in the province of Che Kiang, according to the story of the Spanish priest who escaped, were killed with hay forks and ancient "pears by the magistrate’s body guard, *°d their naked bodies were hanged from trees. 1 he incidents make a lenient policy nn P°pular in Shanghai where all the victims had friends.
