FAO TING FU NOW A SCENE OF DESOLATION American Missionary Declai es ThatConditlonsThereWorse Than in Peking PEKING. March 5. An American jtitBSionary doctor has arrived here from th-e district below Pao Ting Fu, which has been the center of serious disturbance" for several days. The doctor while on a hunting expedition learned of the mutiny at Pao Tin Fu, and persuaded mutinous soldiers to bring the hunting party as far. as that town. The mutineers command ed a train and were proceeding to the station below the town for a quantity-of loot. The soldiers seem ed to appreciate that the American doctor'end the others were members nf the Red Cross. They found 1'uo Ting Fu In a state of denotation. Everywhere buildings had been burnd and shops loots. Tii disturbances lasted three days and the damage Is probably more ex tensive than at Peking or Tien Tain, from Pao Tinsr Fu th American doe- tor came to Peking by train, nana left secretly. A few foreigners sua Chinese officials aroompanied him. Most of the missionaries remained IB Pao Ting Fu, Including the women. They have been of great service-la tionrllnc the wounded. ' So far' as could be learned no missionaries t- fnrettmera suffered Injury. Below PM 'Ting Fu the railway is entirely in tt hinds of tnie mutineers, who compel the railway men to move the train.

Tde commander of the British troops at Feng-Tiai has received re ports that the mutineers who were driven, off Sunday have been rein forced and are movinir down the rail way. The. Inniskllllng fusileers, .who are now guarding that section, are therefore being shifted to advanta geous positions. Rfiisons for the mutiny are still causing speculation.
