Is regarded in London as only a prelude to the absolute confir mation of the massacre. This Is the opinion also of the Japanese Minister here. The newspapers suggest that the British Minister's dispatch was held back and released about the ame time as Mr. uonger s, under the same terms. Although the American and British forces are working harmoniously, the question of means of communication be tween Taku and Pekln gives evidence of Jealousy between tho powers, and mother dispatches from Tien Tsln show the lan guage difficulty has been .hampering the military operations. A dispatch to the Bally News from Tien Tsln, dated July 14, and describing the lighting, says: "Colonel Llscum mistook tho road, and Was noarlV isolated. fJcnornl Vtnr-arnnA on a premature report from the Japanese commanaer mat the city had been en tered, ordered a general advance, which proved a costly error. Much valuable time was lost and trouble occasioned yes terday afternoon because messengers be tween General Fushlma and General Dor wood did not understand each other's lan guage," The Tien Tsln correspondent of the Dally Mall says that when the Chinese regulars .saw the RnxeT- wVin i vi-. tack being killed, they began to retire. He asserts that the Admirals have de cided "that It will be useless to move toward 'Pekln without at least G0.C0O men.

" j wnoie natch of Tien Tsln dispatches are published today. All praise tho gal lantry of the Americans and Japanese. The Standard's correspondent says that the Americans at first made a mistake In underestimating the fighting capacity of the Chinese, whose fire was really terrific. He expresses some doubt about the ability Ul " i"iies to noia tne positions cap tured unless they are reinforced. It ap pears that large hauls of silver were made by the allies, the metal being carried away In buckets, and the Chinese calmly assisting.

Every member of the four companies at Steveston today had 24., rounds of ball ammunition, as dftnilK- nt nnv onMA. u Sduth Africa is supplied with. it is due to the action of the Japaneso that the precipitation of tho climax in the existing difficulty must be ascribed, For a time the Japanese were frightened Into acquiesence with the -strikers, but their supplies became exhausted and hun ger was a freouent visitor nf their hn. and In their cabins. They held a monster mass meeting and decided to go out this morning-, despite the threats of the white fishermen, who had been holding out for 25 cents a fish, while the canners refused to pay more than 20 cents. This decision of the Jananese. the threat gnin. v. by the strikers, and the rumor that the strikers planned to burn down all the 47 canneries on the Fraser River. Induced the municipal authorities of Steveston, backed, by three magistrates, to appeal for military protection.

The Fishermen's TTnlnn t n m day, 600 members belngr present, again voted to decline the 20-cent rate accepted by the Japarfese. Their leaders who left Steveston last night, returned today and advised the strikers to abandon th Fraser River as a place of employment If the canners did not come to their terms but many strikers do not take kindly to this Idea, especially as they realize the canners can tret nil the nh h... ... long as the Japanese are under military protection. Many of the strikers are In dividually In favor of accepting the 20 cents per fish which the Japanese are earning today, and the Indians, who have hitherto sided with the whites, are now ready to follow the example of the Japa nese.
