The New York Tribune of today SAYS:
Raizo Tatsui, managing editor of the
Toxic Nichi- Nichi. daily morning news
paper, arrived in this city on Monday from
Europe, where he had spent several
months. He was highly pleased with what
he saw in Paris, and would have remained
there longer if the trouble in China had
not broken out. Mr.. Tatsui understands
English, but prefers to speak through an
Interpreter. He said he feared the foreign
ENJOYS and all the foreigners in Pekin had
been slaughtered, and continued:
I'VE have a reporter there who looks like
a Chinaman. He dresses in the Chimes,
garb and speaks the language like a native,
and in his Chinese costume would
never take him for a Japanese. But even
this reporter has not been heard from, and
we fear that his nationality became known
to the Pekin revolutionists and that he
shared the fate of the other foreigners"
AS to Lii Hung Chang's departure for
Pekin, Mr.. TatSui said:
LII Hung Chang certainly had many
spies and reporters at Pekin, and through
these he has been kept well informed as to
what has been going on there. If he had
not thought that he could do some good by
taking charge of the district he would not
have accepted the appointment"
Mr. TatSui is friend of kentaro Kaneko,
an honorary degree from Harvard and is
now member of the Japanese upper house.

Chang was extremely reticent. He stated
that he had received definite news tina t
the ministers and foreigners at Pekin, with
the exception of Baron Won ketteler, the
German minister. We're safe July 8. The
imperial edict recalling him to Pekin, the
v;ceroy said, was due to empress and en-
peTor, and not to Prince Tuan.
