W.umixoTos, Juno 10.?-Tho Cblnose legation hns received no information as to the reported niassacro of all mission area In Cheng Tu, and Btrong hopes are entertained that the ntlair may bo ins serious than the mentor reports In dicate. It is stated nt tbo location that Chang Tu is a large city in tbo interior i f China. The people are far removed front tho centers ?f foreign commerce &uc> 1 as Canton and Shanghai. Kecent 1 v, however, by the treaty of peace with Japan, this in terior city was one of several places to bo oponod tr? foreigners and foreign commerce. Thin no doubt, it is explained, has agitated the people who have lived by them selves from time immemorial. Tho mis sionaries are the only foreigners who have heretofore aettled at Cheng Tit. Their number is not known. It is said, however, that tho number of missiona ries, including thoir families, in the on tiro province of .So Chun, of which Cheng To is tho capital, must be less than one hundred, including all nation alities. The missionary headquarters is at Chens Tu, whore it is believed there are not oxceoding ten missionaries, tho rest b-ing scattered through the province. 1-ut this estimate is ba=?ed only on the general information of Chinese officials a* there is no exact details of tho extent of missionary service through China. The l'sung Li" Yamon Bought to secure from each foreign government a com plete list of the missionaries from each government and thoir placo of service, but this was not given. It is said that tho emperor of China and tho Taung Li Vamen havo given oTery possible protection to tho mis sionaries, although it has been found impossibio to guard against mob vio lence, particularly at remote interior Rotate. Tho Chinese government has aqked foreign government* to appreciate these difficulties and has advised that the missions should bo kept within pafe limits. But tho zeal ot the mis?ionarios has led them to push inward without fear of results to races where tho Chinese officials havo had difficulty in affording full protoction. At tho French logition no informa tion had boon received concorning the reported massacre. Tho French am bassador, M.

Tho origin ol the lire was tlio lighting oi the bay in the loft of tho liverv stable ol 11 W. Fitzgerald, on Main Htreet, ball way up ibe bill and right iu the center of the business district, The manager of tlio stable assorts tliat tboro wis nobody about the stable atlor 9:30 lost night and at that hour all lights were put out. Thoro are two theories as to the ?tart of tho firo thateoded so disastrously. So mo any that a party of voun" tnon woro in tho iott playing carda"and that tho hay became ignited from matches. Tho other theory ia a startling ono. Many ropuiablo citizens sav that it was a uoticable fact on Sun day night that an unusual number of strangers woro in town, uinnv of them tongh looking characters, whom nobody know. Tiicao moo, it i3 thought by many people, deliberately sot lire to tlio stable in tlio hope of securing plunder. Tho latter theory ia made plausible by tho fact that an' immonso amount of merchandise takon from tho burning buildings was stolen without pretense of socrccv duringthe tire. As an instance, a crinpled man was sot to vrnlcn goods talcon ont of oao establishment, and while nobodv was around throe strango mon,nouool whom tho wntchman kuoir. walked up and- grabbed buudloi of clothing and walked away. This was repeated throughout the night, it is also usjorto l that peoplo catno from tho countrv aide and took goods away in wagons Certain it is that tbero was a surprising amount of thievery going on. and for this reason it is claimed that tho liro was tho work of a yang of in condferioj. It had boon r\ quiot Sunday here and at 10:30 o'clock probably nino out of ton ol tlio inhabitants had retired. A coterie oiyoung men wore fitting "n the New Crawford hotel porch, diagonally across the street from tho livery atablo, when George llutliier, of liooher & Uuflnor, and ono or two othors, ?aw the rapidly increasing tlaiuos in tho hay loft gloaming between tho boards ol the wall.
