O LITERALLY RUNNING WITH BLOOD There is No Hope tor the Foreigners and All Foreign Consuls Have Cabled that Disturbances Are Spreading i,ivno'. Julv C. There is a mass of wild minor from the far Eiet. Thougt contradictory on most points, it continues unanimous as to tbe conbu.u matiou of tbe tragedy at Fekin. To consistent reports ot tbe whites are nnur added tbe additional .horrors fht tavatie soldiery butchered at the cipiul 5000 native?, Roman Catholic converts. This comes on a Shanghai diepatch of July 5, which only adds to the report given by respectable Chinese who have arrived from Chaln-Fu, and who describe Pek in as an inferno, tbe streets literally running with blood. They confirm numeroos stories of executions and untold tortures Indicted cn isolated foreigners and European soldiers captured ly the mob. Tbe autnoritv of Yung Lu, the Chineee Imperial Treasurer, who advocated moderation, was completely effaced by Piince Tuan Kang Yi and Tnng Fub Sian.who issued freeh edicts ordering the merciless extermination of all foreigners in tbe empire. Washington, July 6 A dispatch has been received at tbe state department from Consul-General Goodnow at Shanghai, dated July 5. in which be says the situation is serious and the in surrectionary movement is spreading. If the allied forces, he said, should meet with reverses tbe insurrection will certainly spread to central and southern China resulting in the expulsion and murder of foreigners in tbe interior and the ruin of trade.

The foreign office has issued the text of a telegram from Acting Consul-General Warren, at Shanghai, confirming from thoroughly trust wot thy sources the news received by courier from Pekin, July 3, by way of Shanghai, to the London office of tbe inspectorate! of Chinese maritime cus toms, saying that two legations were, the day the courier left, holding out against the troops and Boxers, and that tbe troop i had lost 2000 men, and the Boxers many leaders. Mr. Warren adds that the messenger says the troops were much disheartened by their losses, tnd that tbe Boxers claim their mystic powers have been broken by the foreigners, and that they dare not approach the legations. It is further asstrted that the foreign ers at Pekin ought to be able lo hoid out for a long time, as they have sufficient food and ammunition. Jardine, Mathes & Co., of Shanghai, have telegraphed thnlr London bouse as follows: "Shanghai, July 7. The British lega tion was standing July 2.' There are re- assnrlnz reports regarding the lives of the Europeans." News from other points was distinctly disquieting.

Although the democrats seem to take a very hope ful view of the outcome oi the campaign, in anticipation of the expected fusion of the anti-republican forces, theie are no signs of discouragement at republican headquarters today, although it is ad mitted that the fight is to be a iiard one and will require steady, conscientious and unceasing e Hurts on the pait of the republicans. Republican leaders say they look for a close fight, but bank their reliance on the superiority of expansion as the lead ing issue of the campaign, which will carry them to victory. The republican literary bureau is very active now in sendingout campaign material and docu ments that will nsBist in the canpn, and many republican papers of the country aro being supplied w ith political matter. At tho hcndqUArtcrs of the democratic congressional committee today all was bright and expectant. It was prophesied on every bund that Brjanand Stevenson would sweep the country in November, but this free expression of confidence among the democrats has not shaken in the slightest degree the confidence of the republicans in McKinley and Roosevelt. They lirmly assert that fusion or no fusion, their ticket will nnqiieHtionahly win. Wliliitnir Olileat ( lllaen. Oi.vmim a, Wash., July 7.
