spondent of the Times confirms the report
of the defeat Of the rebels, and says their
reverse is so severe they have retired TO the
mountain fastnesses. The imperial troops

were light.
A dispatch received to-day from Pc
king says the report that missionaries
in cerain parts of the disturbed dis
tricts abandoned their stations and sought
safety in fight is not true, at least So far as
the Catholic priests are concerned. The
priests believe they have no reason TO fear
lll-treatment, and even should they have
they will remain at their posts. The dis
patcn further says NicerOy Ii Hung Chang,
who IS moving with all possible prompttude
to put an end to the troubles, is maSSing his
forces in the direction Of Manchuria, aud
that his object Is to make forward move
ment against the enemy, and. if possible,
surround them. The Mougolians are furi-
Gus over the murder OF their Prince not

in Manchuria.
