Of the Ministers. Among the Americans and
Europeans also are many wounded and sick,
whose wants must be cared for on journey
which will be likely TO test the endurance even
of the well and hardy. To make suitable and
necessary arrangements for the journey will
consume considerable time. and in the mean
time the benefciaries of the expedition must be
provided for and protected from danger either
within or without the walls of the Imperial
capital
CHINESE RULERS QUANDARY.
It will probably be officially known tomorrow
whether the Emperor the Empress Dowager and
the Imperial household have fed from the capi-
tai and taken refuge IN the remote province Of
shen-se. II So it may denote fear that plen-
ary punishment will be imposed Upon them by
the Powers whose rights and dignity have been
outraged by the i'll treatment to which their
diplomatic representatives have been subjected
What the fight will portend to the existing dy-
nasty nobody can now foresee It is not difficult
to see, however. that the Imperial authorities
have placed themselves at an immense disad-
vantage by refusing to comply with the just and
liberal conditions submitted to them BY Presl-
dent Mckinley in behalf of the United States
and the cooperating Powers.
CRITICAL TIME AT HAND.
The next news from North China IS awaited
here with eager and intense anxiety by Presi-
dent Mckinley and his advisers. who feel that
q most critical stage in the solution of the Chi
nese troubles is about 10 be enterel upon and

San Juan. Porto Rico, Aug. 1I.-Yesterday at
Mayaguez a crowd of Federals and Republicans
got together, and, after heated political disputes
thirty revolver shots were exchanged and clubs
and other weapons freely used. One man was
killed outright and dozen others were injured
two fatally
For some weeks violent political discussions
have been frequent there, and recently the Re-
publicans attempted to hold mass meeting in
q ward controlled by the Federals. It was this
that led to yesterdays collision. Other encoun-
ters are feared.
Last Saturday the Republicans organized
celebration in honor Of the second anniversary
Of the occupation of Mayaguez by the United
States troops. The Federals, being anti-Ameri-
can in sentiment, opposed The project, and their
leaders made speeches dissuading members of
the party from participating in the celebration
EX-Secretary Of Justice Diaz remarked that the
day should be one of mourning, rather than of
rejoicing and since then the rival politicians
in Mayaguez have been at fever heat.
Spanish residents of San Juan have issued a
circular calling upon all Spaniards to get to-
gether with the view of effecting organization
TO promote the interests OF Spain.
