PEKIN RUNS WITH BLOOD.
Chinese Describe the Capital as =
EeritabIe inferno.


LONDON. July 6.-As the days pass pass
Pekin and Tientsia. and only narrowing
stories Of bloodshed and massacre come
from the cable, the temper against the
Chinese grows iEto desire for summary
revenge All Europe is shocked by the re-
ports from Chinese sources, which indicate
practically beyond doubt that there has
been a saturnalia OF blood in Pekin
England has given up hope for the for
eigners in the capital and stands -aghast
AT the intimations OF fendish horrors that
accompanied the massacre OF the minis
tiers and the hapIess men, women. and
children who took final refuge in the Brit
ish Legation
From Shanghai come hints that the Chi
nese officials have received news from the
capital which they are holding back It's
purport is whispered. however, in the "a
tive quarters OF the city II tells OF the
massacre OF the refugees in the British
Legation on June 80 or July l. of foreign
ers publicly executed. and OF tOTtuIes most
cruel practiced on helpless children and
women One correspondent says the most
lawful crime OF the century has been COZ
summated al Pekin.
II is reported that the Chinese ho-des
have cut on the retreat Of the allies from
Tientsin and have surrounded the city.
ChefOO is menaced and foreigners are
advised to leave the place.
Another sensational report from Shang-
hal says:
1T is stated that the Boxers in Pekiu.
besides numbering the foreigners, massa-
cred 5.0o0 native Catholic converts. OF
whom 1o.0O0 were known to be in the city.
Chinese refugees confirm the stories OF
foreigners being put to the torture in Pc
kin.
The city is described as an inferno and
the streets are said TO be running with
blood
It is denied on high authority that
France has offered the slightest objec-
tion to Japan sending any number Of
troops to China. On the contrary Il is
hoped here that Japan viii send prompt
Iy sufficient number OF troops with the
purpose OF saving the lives OF the Euro
peans at Pekin-

in an English intrigue. by which the lat
ter country wants 10 substitute Japan 10
play the role she herself would have sought
to assume if her military forces had not
been tied up in the TransvaaL The high
official who expresses these views says
that the sole object guiding the powers
named is an earnest desire 10 save lives
that are in danger and in order to do
this all petty jealoasies have been laid
aside He added that the tone OF the
English press was to be regretted.
