Shanghai, July 5.-Three Chinese

soldiers, 100 members of the Chinese
customs staff and a number of wom-
en- and children, held out till their
ammunition was exhausted in the
British legation. The legation finally
was burned and all the foreigners
were killed.
Two Manchus who have arrived at
Shanghai certify to the truth of the
statement that Prince Tuan visited the
palace and offered the emperor and
dowager empress the alternative of
poison or the sword. The emperor,
they say, took poison and died within
an hour, The dowager empress also
chose poison, but craftily swallowed

London, July THE Russian gov

St. Petersburg, under date of July G. In
reply TO an inquiry from the japanese
cabinet. regarding the dispatch of
japanese troops to China to render aid
to the foreigners in Picking, the Rus
sian government declared ON May 81,
that it left the japanese governments
fullliberty of action in this connection,
and the Toxic cabinet has expressed its
readiness tc act in full agreement with
other powers.
1t is in consequence of this, no doubt,
that Japan is preparing to embark 2o,-
