CRITICAL At TIEN TslN.
The Eastern Arsenal Reoccupied b,
Ten Thousand Chinese.

New York, July 9.-nhe American con-
sui here has received a commune ca ton
from Taku under date of Thursday say
ing that 10000 Chinese under General
Mich appeared outside of Tten Tsin on
Wednesday and reoccupied the eastern
arsenal, says Che Foo dispatch to the
Herald. The Chinese are fortifying the
native city of Tien Tsin.
The situation there is considered criti-
cal. w.
Communication between Tong ku and
Tien Tsin is again threatened. Boxer in
f1uence is increasing in Shan Tung pro-
vince. The Christians at Gilman Flu have
been called on 20 renounce their faith.
The French consul reports that the Chin
Chou Flu orphanage has been pillaged. A
steamer arrived from New Chwang with
nine refugees, sisters and one priest from
Moukden, where the Catholic mission was

NEW ALLIED FORCE.
Nearly One Hundred Thousand Sol
diers Will Shortly Be in China.

New York July "A special to the
Herald from washington says
An. allied force of narly 10O,O men
will be in China within a few weeks.
These figures are largr than those
given heretofore, but are based on bet
ter information which has just reached
here. The allies at Taku and Tien Tsin
now number about 5000 men. The REIN
forcements under orders consist of $4,000
Japanese troops, $4,000 Germans, 1900
Russians, II 900 Americans, 10000 British,
5000 French and 5000 Italians.
It is learned that the several govern
ments desiring an explanation as to the
opinion of the number of men needed in
China recently asked the admirals at
iTaku to make an estimate. The ad-
mirals consulted together and the lowest
estimate seems to have been made by the
Japanese officer, who placed the number
at between 10000 and $4,000. The esti-
mates for the British, aerman and
Russian representatives were small. AS
to that made by Admiral Kempff, the
authorities decline to speak, but there
is reason to believe that it was slightly
less than the lowest figure of the Jap
anese commander. It may be that 1t Is
Admiral Kempff's statement that has
caused the officials to hesitate the dis
patch of troops at Taku until the arrival
of the Japanese division of he Ninth in
fantry, which will bring the fighting
strength of the allies to about 45 900
men.
Upon the arrival of the Japanese divi-
sion at Taku the question of the officer
who will be placed in supreme command
will naturally arise. The japanese SOL
diers will be commanded by q lieutenant
colonel. and 30 far as known he will be

Herald from Shanghai says:
A message sent from Wei Hal Wei last
Sunday, and received here today, states
that her majesty ship Alacrity has re-
turned direct to Wei Hal Wei with 20

The situation is still grave, for the
Boxers, although they have been moved
down by the hundred still believe them
selves invulnerable. Every moment now
is precious. Boxer emissaries are gaining
strength.
Hsu Tung, the most determin, q hater
of foreigners in Pekin and tutor Of the
heir apparent, has been murdered with
his whole household of 800 persons while
resisting Boxer pillagers..
Liping Hen, the admiral on the Yang
Use, has returned to Yam Chol Huan.

accompany him northWard, saying that

New York. July s.-The Chinese mer-
chants of this city are said to be eonsider-
ing the adisability of calling q meeting Of
the prominent Chinese to outline their
feelings toward the uprising of Boxers In

siOnaries. Some Of them will be forced to
give up their new religion and may escape
oy that means. believe, however, that
most Of them will die for the faith, like
the martyrs Of old. China will doubtless
learn valuable lesson from this trouble.
The Chinese will see what civilization can
do with them. It will not make them any
easier to convert. They don't want reli-
Eion. and no amount Of war will make
them change their minds"
Rev. F. Bell of the Christian and Mis-
siGnary alliance, cabled the station Of the
alliance at Wuhu, in central china, asking
Tor Information about the missionaries in
the Pekin district. He has received news
which leads him to believe that there are
at least two missionaries visiting at Pekin
besides the five regularly stationed there.
The regular Pekin force includes Miss D.
n Doan Of Albany, Miss Amy Brown of
Meadville, Pa; Miss Anna Gowans of Scot
York.
The alliance has 30 stations beyond Pekin
at which there are 81 European mission
aries, most of whom are from Sweden.
They have II children with them. All of
these stations are in the greatest. danger,
II, indeed, they have not already been de-
strOyed.

THE NINTH INFANTRY.

Washington, July 9.-Owing to the uncer-
tainty as to the Whereabouts of the trans

gestion of Secretary Root, sent a cable
message to Admiral Kempff at Taku, ask
Ing, for definite information on the subject.
and was counted upon to make the run to
Taku In seven days. In case expec tations
were realized she arrived at the Chinese
port on July 4. Little doubt is entertained
that these troops have already arrived at
Tagu, and 1t is even believed they have
gone up the river in small boats to Ten
Tsn, where they were urgently needed
The failure to receive official notice of
their arrival probably is due to Colonel
Liscum reporting to General Macarthur at
Manila instead of to the war department.
Coming as an independent command, Ad-
miral Kempn may not regard the troops
as a proper subject of his report.
