PESSIMISM IN EUROPE.
London, July 26.-Whie the latest
impression derived from the array of
conflicting kilograms from the far east
Is that a portion Of the foreign colony
at Pekin may have escaped the slaugh-
ter, until recent date, the general con-
sensus of the best informed opinion of
Europe seems to continue to favor the
acceptance of the worst news, and
prompt action thereon, the contention
being that the only possibility of def
nitely ascertaining the truth is by the
allied commanders inquiring at Pekin.
ALLIES ARE WRANGLING.
Judging from news from Tien Tsin,
however, recording divisions among the
admirals there, the prospects Of a
speedy advance seem to be endangered
unless the governments speedily agree
upon supreme leader.
AN ULTIMATUM.
kilograms from Shanghai report that
Ii Hung Chang has taken up his abode
at the arsenal as measure of precau-
tion. 1t is not stated whether he feared
attack by the Chinese or attempts of
the powers to curtail his liberties. Ap-
hal have informed the viceroy that un-
less he obtained definite dispatches
from Pekin within five days they would
conclude that the ministers had been
murdered. and would act accordingly.
A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
Reports are current that number of
missionaries of the Americans or Eng
lish had been murdered at Shan 81. One
Of the dispatches from Shanghai, pub
lished here to-day, says: "The Cana
dian missionaries who escaped from
Honan had terrible experience en-
route here. The natives everywhere
were hostile. The rabble attacked the
refugees, beat them and tore the clothes
from their backs. The ladies suffered
cruel indignities." The dispatch con-
tinues: Canton remains comparatively
quiet. The natives, however, are begin
ming to fear that the re-enforcements
arriving at Hongkong intend to attack
the Bogue forts and occupy the city.
The military mandarin asked the colo
nial secretary at Hongkong for assur-
ances that Great Britain does not in
tend to take Canton"
FOREIGN REINFORCEMENT
A dispatch received here to-day from
Yokohama states that the Japanese d.
vision will all be landed at Taku by
July 81, and will reach Tien Tslu on
August 3. The legislature of New South
Wales resolved to dispatch military
contingent to join the imperial forces in
China.
