PEiSfg, Nov. sO.-Tho government
" fully aware Of tho serious condition
which confronts IL, aud every possible
stop IA being taken TO break the strength
Of the rebels before they get within
striking distance Of the capital. There
II much excitement here among all
classes Of the population, aud the
authorities believe that, II they can In.
illct a defeat upon the rebel forces, u
will have good effect upon the people
OF Pekin and vicinity. IL ~ believed
that many people are secretly In favor
Of the rebels, but, should the Imperial
forces do battle with the insurgents
aud defeat them, the indictments
would then side with the government.
No doubt In entertained that the
situation IN dangerous. Should tho
rebel forces continue TO advance toward
tue capital, In spite Of the efforts Of the
Imperial troops 10 prevent them, II Is
feared by Foreigners that the whole
country viii riso aud aid the Invaders.

A more serious condition Of affairs
exists mt Takou. At that place the
most brutal outragcs were committed
on the priosts, nuns and converts.
What action the government will take
In this matter IL hard 10 say. That the
authorities are In full sympathy with
the perpetrators OF these most horrible
crimes, there II no reason 10 doubt.
The dtst reports from Takou stated
that after thesc fiend- had worked their
bloody will on all Christian men,
women and children who fell into
their hands, they were Toasted by the
leading Chinese Mhndaiins In the dis.
tfiot. IL In now said that the local
Mandarns agreed TO allow the rebels
free license TOR the outrage on tho
Christians, provided they did no harm
10 the other Inhabitants. These terms
were accepted by tho rebels, aud they
pursued their work without hindrance.
Three hundred Europeans and native
Christian were mnssacred. IL In be.
licved that not single Christian In
the district escaped.
Condemnation prevails among the
Protestant missionaries In the district
through which II is expected the rebels
will pass. The local officials Mt Tsunhn
have declared that they are powerless
10 protect the missionaries, and that II
they desired 10 save their lives they had
better seek safety In flight. The mis-.
sionnries Mt Trunha have therefore
abandoned their stations and sought
refuge IN safer parts Of tho country.
