Outrages on Missionaries.
Shanghai, August 18. The foreign residents in Tientsin declare that the Ku Cheng massacre was the natural outcome of thirty year’s mistaken leniency. The Times' correspondent at Tientsin says that there will be worse to follow unless the Powers take a determined stand with the Chinese Government. One of the murderers has confessed to cutting off the head and limbs of Miss Stewart, who in frenzy fought until she was literally hacked to pieces. Sydney, August 13. Chinese files by the a.s. Menmuir to July 18th state that the political situation is much complicated by antimissionary riots, which were then proceeding, and likely to have an important bearing on Chinese international relations in the near future. Strong representations were being made by Europeans to the foreign ministers. Formosa and Corea were still in a very disturbed state.
