Chinese mendnclty has overshot the mark. It has CJiJv'il well-Informed men here tha: the Boxer movement has been rcnifornvJ into an offlclal airency, and that th-ro has been no attempt on th; iart of the empress to Intervene on twhilf of the foreigners. Public opinion has been stiffened by the evidence that th Chinese earm'l la Is seeking to make use of the for eigners as hosm nJ to dictate terms of settlement with It hands on the throats of the women and chil dren, and there Is a tone of Indexible determination In the newspapers' lead ers and the declarations of members, of parliament that the legations must first be rescued and then there will be time for talking about Indemnities and a modus Vivendi with Europe, America and Japan. This is the burden of every dispatch which comes from continental capitals. Mr. Broderlek's speech in the House of Commons waf the most definite ex planation of British policy yet offered from the foreign office. Another bri gade has been ordered from India, and Shanghai will be adequately pro tected. The rescue of the legations is the first and urgent work undertaken in connection with the powers. When that object has been accomplished, the maintenance of the Integrity of China will be the objective point of British diplomacy, and nothing will be done to precipitate the partition of the em pire. Mr. Broderlck does not explain what measures will be adopted to bring about the retirement of the Russians and Japanese when Pekin has been occupied. - Recent dispatches were not decisive In any Quarter. There were fresh ru mors of a massacre of missionaries, detailed explanation of Admiral Sey mour's work on the Tang Tse river, re ports of Russian embarrassments in the north, and belated accounU of the defense of the legations, with definite Information respecting the fine work of the American marines in seizing and holding a portion of the great wall, and thereby securing four legations against an attack from a commanding position. A prominent member of the diplomat ic corps states that there is much in credulity among the embassies here re specting the genuineness of dispatches purporting to come from thtf besieged legations, and that suspicions are en tertained that some of them haye been forged. This view is not shared by of ficials here. They accept without re serve the accounts of the siege given by Sir Claude McDonald and Dr. Mor rison. CHE FOO, July SSAia Shanghai, Aug. 2. The latest reports from Pekin v. ere brought by disaffected officers of the Chinese army. They are considered re liable. The officers left Pekin on July 15. They say anarchy had reigned Jn Pekin for months, and the streets ran In blood, Ihe Chinamen fighting among themselves. Jung Lu, commander-in-chief of the Chinese forces, and Prince Ching, espoused the cause of the foreigners and endeavored with the part of the army loyal to thera to expel the Boxers. Later, with the majority of the Imperial troops, under anti-foreign leaders, Prince Tuan and General Tung Fuh Slan were victorious, and Jung Lu and Prince Ching with their followers were made prisoners In their yamuns when the bearers of these re ports left Pekin. 1 Prince Tuan and eneral Tung Fuh Sian appear to control the government, according to the officers, and issued edicts, printed in the Gazette, exhort ing the Chinese to kill all foreigners and native Christians.. One of the of ficers says there are 16,000 troops In Pekin, Including Tung's -army and 8,000 more at Yung Tsun. The soldiers hold all the streets within a mile of the le gations. $ The foreign troops, when the officers left Pekin, had bumed and abandoned h ." 11 tas Justly won its laurels.".

They report that the American and English troops defeated General Ma In a night battle on July 10. The reports from Chinese sources are that all the legation forces were killed. "Chinamen caught a messenger who was trying to leave the legations on July 10, with the following message: "To Any Foreign Commander Make a'l haste If you intend to save us. We can hold out but a few days." CHE FOO. July SI. via Shanghai, Aug. 1 Governor Tuan Shi Kal states that he has received a note from the Tsung Li Tamun, dated July 30, re porting that the ministers at the Ger man legation and others were well and that their relations with the govern ment were friendly. They were con ferring, the note said, with a view of arranging measures to protect the ministers to Tien Ts'n. SHANGHAI. Aug. 1-Liu Kun Yl. viceroy of Nankin, and Sheng, admin istrator of telegraphs and railways and Taotia of Shanghai, have both declared officially that the foreign ministers are held by the Chinese government as hostages, and that. If the allies march to Pekin, they will be killed. It is stated that only the Russians and Jap- anese, 23,0OO strong, are starting for Pekin. Another Chinese exodus from Shang hai has commenced. It was caused by disquieting rumors published In the na tive and some foreign newspapers. CHE FOO. July 29, via Shanghai, Aug. J. Public opinion and the fcr elgn pres at the treaty ports are alarmed at the possibility that the Chi nese would prevail upon the powers to consent to the establishment of peace without inflicting punishment befitting the Chinese government's crime. Of ficial" persons engaged in commercial pursuits and missionaries of a'l nation alities are remarkably united. They believe that Pekin should be destroyed as an object lesson, and that if the dynasty is continued it should be forced to establish the capital at some accessible city, the Americans suggesting Nankitj. This is considered Important, as the Chinese always be lieved that China defeated the powers in 1S50 because the capital remained Intact.. It is also thought that guaran tees to prevent ?xceilve armament should be demanded, and that China thould be compelled publicly and de finitely to renounce the fiction that the foreign ministers are representatives of tributary powers. There is a strong de mand that unusual punishment like destruction of the kings' tombs be In flicted. The American and Englinh missljnarles advocate a program simi lar to the foregoing. I1 foreigners believe that the Chi nese government engineered the out breaks and is trying to call off its troops after fie down-fall of Tien Tsin and the f-ceipt of reports that the powers are sending armies to China. A German legation telegram, saying that the bombardment of the legations ceased July 17, supports this theory. The foreigners think that the ministers who suffered should, if rescued, conduct the settlement with the government, for the effect it would have on the popu lace. An Intensely bitter feeling prevails against Li Hung Chang. The paptrs denounce the honor paid him at Hong Kong and Shanghai, and call him the most corrupt anti-foreign official in China, and express the belief that he proposes to save China from the penal ty of her acts by embroiling the pow ers. The destruction of foreign property continues. United States Consul Fow ler estimates that the losses of the Amerlcnn missions amount to 11,500,000. The trade losses through the suspen sion of trade are enormous. Chinese bring many stories of horrible outrages upon native Christians, who have been uEuiiuus licivur uy using & Perrins' SAUCE Tllk ilmiinri fa an mwmm Vwrftt murdered, tortured or compelled to re nounce their religions.

There should be a cable between Chee Foo and Shanghai so managed as to give satisfactory service. ' ! NEW TORK, Aug. 1 A dispatch to the Herald from Shanghai says: Trustworthy information reaches me that Chinese troops are steadily ad vancing northward from the Yang Tse Valley and also toward the suth, and may attack and flank the European armies. NEW YORK. Ang. S. A dispatch to the Journal and Advertiser from Trwiu kosawsk. Transbalkalal, Siberia, says: Seven American missionaries from Pe kin. with their families, have arrlvd here. They escaped from Pekin and were chased across the sand and moun tains of the Gobi desert for 400 miles, suffering fearful torture from the hot sand, exposure and lack of food and water. The Russian governor of Trans baikalia sent out 500 Cossacks who gal loped south 400 miles Into the desert and rescued Ihem. The cavalry gave them food and shel ter and brought them to Troltikos awsk, where they are receiving care at the hands of the authorities. Thousands of Christians have been massacred, thy report, and thousands more will die at the hands of the Box ers unless the powers sent large rein forcements. The Chinese troops have been ordered to kill all Christians and burn all their property. Foreigners all safe In Mongolia where all Is quiet. NEW YORK. Aug. S. A dispatch to : the World from London says: , "This fresh advance upon Pekin, I j believe will prove a terrible military ana puucai misiaite, saia .Mr. lTT.cn ard Morgan. "My latest Information." he continued, "Is that there are 70, 000 Chinese troops between Tien Tsin and Pekin. and probably 300,000 In and around Pekin Itself. This expedition will probahly be compelled to return like Admiral Sey mour's. Besides, the Chinese govern ment may lose the power to protect the legations any longer, when the news that a foreign army is advancing beoomes known. The release of the ministers could have been secured by LI Hung Chang If the powers had consented to nego tiate through him, but the ministers refuse to leave Pekin because, while there, the Chinese government Is re sponsible." The failure to agree upon a commander-in-chief of the allied forces cre ates consternation. Lahouchere cyni cally observes: 1 "When the allied armies begin to fight with each other, the Boxers wiji have to be called in to, restore peace."
