Tien-Tsin, June 1S.-Thcre is a ru-

powers will make an attempt to seize
the Taku forts at once. Gen. Mich is
said TO be moving $500 troops from
Lou-Tai to Chun-Liang-Chen. Gen.
Tung Fuh Siang's troops are moving
from Shanghai to Pekin. There is
growing expectation that imperial
troops will attack the international
force near the capital, probably at
Feng-Tai. Gen. Tung Fuh Slang is
holding the front, while Gen. Mich
commands the rear. 1t is also believed
that the Taku forts and Chinese war
ships will engage the foreign gunboats
and torpedo-boats inside the bar. Gen.

SAYS Russia Is with China.

London, June 1S.-The Shanghai
correspondent of the Daily Express ca
bles, under date of June Is, as follows:
1T is really state of yelled war.
The members of the foreign legations
in Pekin are virtually prisoners, and
the Chinese troops are only restrained
from attacking them by fear of the
legation guards. Meanwhile the min
listers are altogether unable to COM
municate with the officers command
ing the relief column. which is MAX
ing an enforced and isolated halt be-
tween Tien-Tsin and Pekin. The
walls of the capital are guarded by
100000 imperial troops. The gates
are heavily defended with modern
guns. Gen. Tung, acting under orders
from the Empress Dowager, says that
no more foreign troops shall enter the
sacred city. On Monday the ministers
sent a demand to the Tsung-li-Y
that the gates be opened, declaring
that otherwise the foreign troops would
enter forcibly. To this no reply was
given. A second message went unan-
swered, or had not been answered
when the latest news left Pekin. Sir
Claude MacDonald's latest message
says that the legations are capable of
sustaining an effective defense unless
attacked in force"
Russia, this correspondent asserts,
notwithstanding assurances to the
contrary. sides with China. Some for
eign troops are already reported to be
in the environs of Pekin, and the at
titude of the Chinese troops is increas-
ingly menacing.
