England Begins to Believe Ministers
May He Alive.
London, July 23. The tone of the
European preca with regard to tho mes
BAge dated July 4, received here from
the British minister at Pekin, Sir Claude
MacDonald, continues possimietic, and
the endless and extraordinary succession
of Chinese dispatches purporting to
describe the situation at Pekin only
serves to bewilder.
However, the earlier unquestioning be
lief that n massacre took place has to
some extent been shaken, und it is now
admitted, despite the heavy load of evi
dence supporting the reports of the mas
tacre, that as Sir Cla-ude MacDonald':
letter disposed of the first story alleging
that the crime occurred June 30, so Mm
' later Conger's dispatch and other Etories
reporting the legations safe July 10,14
and IS, L'ive some ground for assuming
I the possibility that the second reports
j weie also unfounded.
I Another version of the story reached
General Li, commanding the Pei Tan
forts, by a runner from Pekin, who
brought to him yesterday a report of
anarchy in the Clnneso capital, saying
J that tiie British legation was being bom
I barded when tho messenger left Pekin
'July 14. Prince Chin'g, this report says,
was assisting the ministers, and his
palace was protected by 10,000 Chinese
troops.
Prince Ching, according to this report,
considered himself able to cope with the
eituation,
Tho Morning Post's Berlin correspond
ent asserts that the altitude of the
United States government is regarded as

Similarly tho London paper regret

CHINESE SO TdTeRS '
KILLING BOXERS
Many Indications of Widespread Dis
sension Which Probably Marks

Trouble in China.
Tien Tsin, Friday, July 20. .Copy
right, UHX), tho Associated Press.)
Chinese coming in from the country
report that the Chinese soldiers nte kill-
im; the Boxers wherever tho latter are
Beeu, giving as a reason that the Boxers
deceived them into embarking on a
hopeless stuiggle. An intelligent China
man said he regardeil this as a sign of
widc-spreud distention.
It was only a matter of a short time,
he declared, befote ihu same statu would
exist in Pukin, when, in all probability,
Jung Lu, commander-in. chief of (lie
Chinese forces, and Prince Citing would
bo able to regain sufficient influence to
m.tko pence, especially if the foreigners
in the capital were safe. This appears
to pretent the general native opinion
heie, as far as it Is possible to ascertain
it.
In the meantime, teliuhlo news as to
events In Pekin autl whether the foreign
era are alive is entirely lacking, or is
only obtainable from Chinese sources,
and even this is most meager and con
tradictory, It is now thought that the

Catarrh Cannot lie Cured-
witli local applications, as they cannot

is a blood or constitutional disease, and
in order to cure it yon must tako inter
nal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, and nets directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces. Hull's
Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine.
It was was prescribed by one of the best
physicians in this country for yer.rs, and
is a regular prescription. It is composed
of the best touics known, combined with
the best blood purifiers, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces. The perfect

what produces such wonderful results in
curing Catarrh. Send for testimonials,
