The Conflicting Reports Leave
Only a Slender Thread to

SHANGHAI IS THREATENED
Consuls Notify Their Govern

Need Of Troops.
Russians Arrive Fifty Miles
North of Pekin After a
Hard Fight.

LONDON, July 30.- The Shanghai
correspondent of The Daily Telegraph
says he is firmly convinced that the
ministers are safe, but, with the excep-
ton Of an alleged message from the
japanese legation in Pekin, dated July
10. brought by runner, saying that
the legation was still defending itself,
nothing has been published giving any
thing in the nature Of proof.
On the other hand the daily incom-
ing reports Of the massacre Of mission
aries and foreigners leave only the
most slender thread upon which to
hang hope.
The general situation is steadily be-
coming darker, and a crisis is said to be
fast approaching. It is rumored in
Shanghai that 10000 Chinese troops
have been secretly moved into that
vicinity. and that the commander of
the Kiang Yu forts have been ordered
to fire if any further addition is made
to the number Of foreign ships ascend
ing the river. Rioting has already oc-

The Shanghai correspondent Of The
Times wiring Sunday, says:

Cbuan Lin, governor Of Kiang. Su,
both rabidly anti-foreign, are advancing
toward Pekin with large bodies of
troops. Their advent must seriously
affect the situation there.
"Today the consuls decided that the
situation demands the presence Of
military force in Shanghai, and the
consuls have notified their governments
accordiugly."

The viceroys were also commanded
to guard their territories vigilantly
against attack and to prevent by all
means in their power the advance

along the Yang Tsc Kiang. The de.
cree says the officials will answer with
their lives for any failure to execute
these orders.
Commands are also given that not a

Assnr~uces That Ministers We're Safe on
July -.
WASHINGTON. July 90.-Coming from
three separate quarters the assurance
that the foreign ministers at Pekin
were alive and well ON June "a, had q
tendency to dissipate the pessimistio
view which the state department has
been taking for the last few days as to
the situation in Pekin. 1t is true that
q comparison of the various edicts and
statements bearing ON this subject ap-
pear to demonstrate the fact that they
all come from one fountain head, either
Yuan Shih XII, or Ii Hung Chang.
But the persistence with which these
stories of the safety Of the ministers are
circulated undoubtedly is shaking the
belief Of those who have heretofore
been satisfied that all Of the ministers
in Pekin werc dead.
The assurances came from Mr.. Fow-
Ter, the American consul at Che Foo;
from Mr.. McWade, the American con.
sui at Canton. and from Minister WI,
the Chinese minister here. The latter
came to the state department early ex-
pressly to deliver an edict received by
him to Secretary Hay. It is similar in
form to the edict published in London.
The minister says that the only differ
ences are those involved in separate
translations.

MAnilA's Fiesta to Commemorate tho Am.

MANILA, July 30.-The two days
fiesta in Manila, organized by Senior
Palermo and his followers, to commem-
crate the amnesty, resulted in q flasoo.
The people were passive and unenthu'
siastic. Failing to perceive any tangi-
bic, effective results of amnesty they
say they can see no reasons tor cole
brating.
Judge Taft and his colleagues Of the
commission felt constrained to decline
to attend the banquet as they had been
informed that the speeches would favor
independence under American protec-
ton. and they could not passively lend
their acquiesence by being present.
Senior Palermo, forseeing the suspension
Of the banquet without the Americans,
frantically appealed to them to attend,
promising that there should be no
speeches.
The provost precautions were ex-
treme. The guards were doubled both
days and the authorities forbade the
display Of Filipino flags and of pictures
Of President Mckinley and Aguinaldo

orally considered to have been prema-

leans were killed and IA wounded.
