The latest Chinese reports received

to plan a march upon Picking indie

army of 100000 men, it is estimated,
will be needed to subdue China. .
The dispatches from Shanghai are
practically unanimous in the declara-
ton that the entire European colony in
Picking, numbering nearly 1000 souls,
has been wiped out by the Boxers and
the Chinese soldiers at the instigation
Of Prince Tuan. China's emperor was
forced to commit suicide by Prince
.Tuan and the dowager empress was
made insane by poison. Rebellion is
spreading to southern and central
provinces and there is talk of the civ

Picking, is fighting in behalf of the
legations against the usurper, Prince
Tuan. If the admiral's hope that
Prince Ching with his army is de-
Tending the legations at Peking
against Prince Tuan turns out to be
we'll founded, this turn of events is
of the utmost Importance, as it is felt
here that in some such division among
the Chinese themselves lies the best
hope for the safety of the foreigners.
If the powers can find allies in China
itself it will materially facilitate the
task of restoring order, and those ac-
quainted with the country believe that
if the diplomats are able to induce
such man as Ii Hung Chang or
Chang Chi Tung to send forces to the
assistance of Prince Chung, the hordes
of revolutionists will dispense as
quickly as they have collected, and a
way to Peking will be opened without
great delay. With all due allowance
for the uncertainty in regard to the
reliability, the authorities here feel
that the latest messages from the far
east give distinct hope. If, as sug-
gested, the native sympathizers are
able to keep the besieged legation rea-
sonably supplied with provisions, the
foreign colony may yet escape de-
struction.
Renewed Attack on Tientsin.
The latest news from Tientsin is con-
tanned in news agency message, dated
Friday, July 9, reporting renewed
Chinese attack that morning with ~
guns. The allied forces replied with
the guns landed from the British first
class cruiser Terrible, and a mixed
force Of 1000 men made a sortie under
cover of the fire Of the naval brigade.
and attacked the Chinese, who retired
after seven hours fighting. d.
Earlier dispatches record severe
fighting, notably on July 2, and July, 3,
when the Chinese developed unexpect-
ed strength and did considerable. dam
age with artillery At the bridge near
the French settlement, there was hard
fighting at close quarters, the Russians
with Calling gun finally compelling
the Chinese to retire, though they suf-
fered heavily. The operations, how
ever, were in no way decisive, later mes
sages showing the Chinese were still full
of fight. About 500 men were wounded
in the fighting at Tentsin.
