It was by His Orders That The Entered Abandoned Houses. DR. ANIENT ANSWERS MARK TWAl N'S CHARGES SOLD THE CLOTHING AND CURI OS FOUND IN THE UNOCCUPIED HOUSE OF A HROSNiCH TOO HAD TURNED BOXER. San Francisco, April 26. In refer- ' ence to the accusations of lotting made against .missionaries, United States (Minister Ooriger, who arrived here last ' night, makes the following statement today: . "The Americans have a larger numi (ber of missionaries out there than any other nation and I am frank to say 9 that under the circumstances there are very few things whidh. the (missionaries have done, if any, for which there need (be any apology whatever. The stories . erf their looting are false, to my knowl m, edge. 'Believing that our -government 0 wOuld not demand a monetary indem- . nity for the murder and pillaging of native Christians, I advised them that ' wherever they could make settlement themselves with the villages where those murders or destruction of prop- , erty had taken place to make them on 9 1 their own responsibility. Li Hung Chang and Chang Ten Mao suggested J that settlements might (be made in this the people to pay anything. It was altogether voluntary on their part. , "The missdosiariea have been criticis ed very severely for going, itomediately after the siege was raised, into aban doned houses for shelter for themselves and the native Christians "Who had (been expelled from their homes. I said, 'if there is a boxer's habitation abandoned, take possession of It so you can have a place in which to shelter and take 'care of the native Chris tians.' " Speaking of the siege Mr. Conger said: "It took every white man we had to stand by the guns. Without the mds- sionaries' assistance and without the ; native Christians nOne of us would have been saved. The missionaries j "were not- the prime cause of the trou ( ble; they were only one of the causes. ; The missionaries were not responsible for the building of the railroad or for any of the foreign innovations against whotm the hatred of the boxers seemed to foe directed." i. iTOashington, April 26.-The following cablegram has beeia received at the state department from Mr. Squier, the United 'States charge at Pekin, dated todiay: "The empress dowager has appoint ed a board off national administration to relieve' her of her public functions. They embrace "three members of the cabinet with the empress at Sion Pu and Prince Ching. Viceroy Li and Prince Kung who are nowSa Peking." This news is regarded) as of import ance, indicating as It does the relin qxiishiment by the empress dowager of the arbitrary powers she has heretofore exercised'. It. is also apparent ithat she ihas placed! herself im a position to avoid direct responsibility to the forjtne general assembly of the Presbyte- eigners Cor winatever may jiappen an future and tthe board will have to bear the brunt of any camfrla3fctt'.

(A prominent Man ohu officer recently urged Sir Robert Hare not to leave legation quarters, saying there was no guarantee that his life would be safe outside if the boxers should rise again. This is an indica tionthat the pacification is merely su perficial. There is some criticism of the Amer ican government for asking , such a laree Indemnity, considering the size of the military contingent sent to . China. REPORT ON THE MANSION OF PRESBYTERIAN CREED .

At 1:17 he mounted the scaffold firmly without a tremor and aided the sheriff to adjust the black cap. His last words were: ''Good bye. Dig my grave deep, please."
