a vlaFC near lu-Cheng and killed and
wounlled several natives not Christians.
This never PUnished viceroy sent Ku.Cheng

local authorities In settling with several
determined savages. I was a mere farce ,
and the local officers were unable to do
anything . but they criminally failed to
promptly demand renforcements from the
viceroy. I Is obvious to all who hooked at
the matEr much that the Chinese have :
been encouraged to take forelgncrs' prop-
erty In this province. Just as long as the
foreign powers arc satIsfied with such treat-

PHILADELPHIA , Aug. 8.-The British

wIth an unknown sailing ves@el. Doth ships
sank In less titan ten minutes. Six members
of the crew of the Prince Oscar anti eli on
board the unknown vessel were lost. The
survivors , seventeen In number , were rescued
by the ship Dharwar , after being confined In
an open boat with neither food nor water for
three Ila ) ' @ . They were IransferrcII to the
British steamship Capac , from Plesaqua , anti

The disaster occurred shortly after midnight - 1
night In lthlle 9:30 : south , longitude 28:20 : :
west. The Prlncc Oscar . which was bound
from Shields which pert she left May 27. for
Iqulqul , laden with coal , was going at a
cll'png ! gaLl on the port tack before a brick
wInd , and with all canvas set I Is estimated -
mated by the crew that she was mailing abQut
six and a half knots an hour , when suddenly
sx
there loomed directly Iller her bows a fonr-
enacted \ el. The nuto asserts that the
stranger hal no light burning and after she
was sighted I was imnloc'alble to change tIme
course of the Prince Oscar. The Iron hull of
the latter struck the unknown ship Cul amid-
ship , knocking her almost on her beam ends
and crashing through the woodworks until her
prow was more than hal burled.
The stranger went over almost on her beam
ends as the Prince Oscar b3cke aIl ) from
the rebound. As the crew of the Prince
!
Oscar stood peering through thc darkness they
saw the stranger partly right herself and
then rapllly sink They listened In vain for
some signs of life , but not a cr ) for help nor
a worll of commanl came from the stricken
vessel. In less than four minutes from the
tIme she was struck the stranger keeled over
and plunged stern nn't Into the depths b low.

Helerson , who was the last man to leave
the ship , went over In his night garments
and swam fully two miles before he was
picked up. Both boats hovered ahout' the
scene of the wreck until daylight In an effort
to rescue the two missing ! members of the

Toward evening of the second lay one of
the crew discovered a small cask of fish oil

were 8av d. The others are miss ng but I
Is believed to be possible that they succeeded
In taking to the boats 111 that they were
afterwards blown out .to sea and may be
