.NOW AN OFFICER IN THE NAYY
Lieut McGuire Here After an Ab
sence of Five Years.
.IN CHINA AT THE UPBIBING
Given an Opportunity to Witness
' Battles Between tne Imperial
ists nnd Rebels nnd See
fiends Cot Off.
Henry D- MeQuIre, who left the Omaha
Hlxh school, entered the United SUtea
naval academy, became an offloer In tho
navy and was given two promotions. Is
in Omaha for the first time in five
years. He Is on a three month's leave
ot absence- He has been In the service
five years, three years as a midshipman
two years as an tn'sn and has be n n
Junior lieutenant since last summer, when
he successfully passed a ten-day exami
nation for promotion.
Lieutenant MeQuIre relates some ex
periences as an officer In the Pacific and
the Asiatic squadron. He was on the
cruiser Albany when It traversed the
waters of the Yang-tse-KlanE river dur
the Chinese revolution In 1911 and 1912.
The Albany was the first American
vessel to be sent to China. Lieutenant
MeQuIre saw considerable fighting, or at
least what the Chutes, call fighting.
"We went from Manila, where we wero
stationed when ws learned that China
was In a state of uprising- and that Amer
ican residents were In Jeopardy. We
went direct to Shanghai, and when we
arrived found the rebels preparing to
take the city. Formal notice had been
given that Manchu City would be burned,
and the notice was carried out, but In
a most extraordinary manner," he said.
The rebels burned the faotat's yomen
to the ground Tho taotal Is the mayor
of the Chinese city and the yomen it bis
dwelling. This was a great victory from
the Chinese standpoint, but from our
conception It was merely unnecessary
destruction of property. The capture of
Manchu City was, of course, a disap
pointment to us, for we were anxious to
see warfare as It Is popularly supposed
to be conducted.
"From Shanghai we went up the river
to Woosung and were surprised to find
that the forts were flying rebel flags.
Tho forts had been captured Just as we
arrived, but it was a very quiet per
formance. 'Three days later we sailed for Amoy.
That olty was still imperial and all was
quiet. The high Chinese officials were
gone and the government In the hands
of foreigners. The emperor bad Invited
the viceroy ot Amoy to loan him
l.W.ono taejs. which Invitation the viceroy
did not receive favorably, and on con
sideration of the pros and cons, he lost
his nerve and departed for parts unknown.
"We then sailed for Nanking, where
conditions were unsettled and both .Im
perialists and rebels appeared to bo very
bellicose. On the night of November 2
Tiger Hill was very mysteriously cap
tured by the rebels. From our previous
observations ot the warfare wo decided
that the rest of the forts would also be
captured without the firing of more than
half a dozen shots. But we were mis
taken, for Sunday morning the rebels
decided to burn a little surplus powder.
Both sides began firing. Purlng the en
gagement the crew ot tho Albany
manned tho rails and rigging and shouted
encouragements to both sides.
One Ifrad Chopped Off,
"The next day the Chinese servant of
the American consul came on board and
announced that the battle would com
mence once more. All was quiet until
2 -IS, when both sides started firing.
During the firing Imperial soldiers
I chopped off the head r.f a prisoner
The day after Thanksgiving terms of
surrender were arranged. (Saturday
morning white flags appeared and the
city was taken by the rebels. General
Shun had made his escape In the mean
time and was several miles away by
daybreak.
"We then learned something of Chinese
discipline. We were told that General
Chans Shun beheaded over 700 people In
Nanking. He Is said to have decapitated
his own gunners when they failed in
marksmanship.
"When the rebels got control they Is
sued this order: 'The following are
liable to decapitation; Those who shrink
in battle; those who conceal munitions
of war; those who attack property; those
who kilt the Innocent; those who recclvo
and entertain Manchu slaves; those who
spy for the enemy: those who embarrass
foreigners; thoso who misrepresent mili
tary circumstances, and those who mis
lead the rubllc by fabrication. '
Besides Ills Chinese experiences. Lieu
tenant McOulre visited nearly all the
eastern Islands with which America has,
any connection, and he visited several
Central American republics. He spent
several weeks In Japan, too.
