Destruction of Missions at Changpu

A despatch from Amoy, China, February 9, confirms the report of the destruction of the English Presbyterian and Roman Catholic missions at Changpu, thirty miles from Amoy, by a mob described as having been composed of Boxers. The damage amounts to $50,000. The American missions were uninjured. Details are lacking. The sentiment in the neighborhood of Changpu is hostile to foreigners, and it is considered strange that the American missions were not molested, as the boycott of American goods is strong there.
