a BATTLE EXPECTED TODAY.
Between the Advancing international TrooIs
and the Chinese.
(By the Associated Prcss,)

London, August 4-Nothing direct from
the allies operating beyond Tien Tsin
is to hand, but a news agency dispatch
from Shanghai today says a battle is eX-
pected Sunday with Genera Mas 10000
Chinese at Yang Tsun. The Russian and
French contingent, according to this dis
patch, are guarding the communications
of the Americans, British and japanese
VINO form the advancing column.
A dispatch dated at Tien Tsin Friday,
July 9th, says another dispatch from
the British Minister at Pekin, July 21st,
has been received, duplicating in part
one sent by a different route, but adding
the military information, that British,
American Russian and German Legations
were held July 21st, provisions barely
sufficient for Il days, and that ammuni-
ton was short. The Ministers had again
rejected the proposal Of the Chinese Gov
m that they leave Pekin under an
escort Of Chinese troops.
Another courier from the Japanese Lee
cation brings a dispatch dated July 23rd,
saying that but five days provisions were
left and twenty-five rounds Of ammuni-
ton for each man.
The British Consul, Mr.. Fraser, and his
foreign community are leaving Chung
King. Province OF SIZE Chuen, in conse-
Guence Of an official warning from Shang-
hal. There IS no trouble in Chung Kine
now or in any part Of SEE Chuen, but
disturbances are expected when the allies
reach Pekin.

Gus to maintain peace in the Yang Tsc

statement in regard 10 the probable date
Of the first teIegram from Minister Con-
Ger to which. in transmitting is through
Sheng. 1T. Shanghai, and Minister w.
the Tsung Ii Tamen assigned the date
Of July 18th.
The Department OF State is in posses
! sion CT the original cipher text Of the
entire message as received by Minister
Nu on July Goth and communicated BY
him TO Secretary Hay on the morning
Of that day. It is partly in the Chinese
cipher code and partly in that Of the
United States. The two texts were sepa-
rated By several groups not Ineligible
in either cipher. As deciphercd on July
! Goth. the ConGer message appeared to
begin with the words In the British Le-
! cation under continuous shot ana shell,
etc.
With the aid Of the full text as tele-
graphed from Che Foo by Consul Fowler,
and already given to the press the doubt
fuI groups. which were distorted in tele-
graphic transmission, have now been cor
rected and found to read: For one
month we have been besieged, which in
tnIligibly completes the sentence making
the telegram read: For one month we
have been besieged in British Legation

Chinese troops. Quick relief only can
prevent general massacre. - Conger.'
AS It is known that these various Lega-
ticcs and foreigners took shelter in the
| British Legation about June nth the
date Of Mr.. COnger's telegram is fixed
with approximate certainty as July 18th.
This agrees with Consul Fowler's cabled
statement that the original message as
written on q regular telegraph form and
signed 'Conger' is supplemented BY the
code: q. II. Conger. July 18th. address
[. s. Legation, written on the same
form, but evidently not transmitted.
Tho fact that the authentic text of the
original message as received in Wash
ington on July goth agrees literally with
= Consul FOWler's report Of the wording
Of the original form written By Minister
Conger and bearing the file date of July
18th, appears to establish the genuine
ness of the message and its date beyond
doubt.

against the chinese is still strong as

In official circles here it is stated that
| there is q strong divergence on the sub
iect Of the policy regarding China be-
tween the Emperor and the Minister of
Foreign Affairs, Count Won Buelow, the
latter being aware that Germany's aims
at obtaining suitable satisfaction in
China are seriously hampered by the
Emperor's impulsivc utterances. 1t is

Count Won Buelow on that subject.
The Associated Press correspondent
here understands hat before an advance
upon Pekin was definitely decided upon,
the powers concluded that hereafter they
would not consider the Chinose's third
hand advances, because it has now been
shown that the Chinese Government IS
not willing to allow the Legations to
freely communicate with their home Gov
crnments. The conclusion was also
reached unanimously by the powers that
Ii Hung Chang w&s playing false, his
main object to retard or Illustrate the
advance on Pekin by various ruses, of
which Chinese statccraft is always a
master.
Indications increase that Germany is
preparing another large body Of troops
for China. Tho latest news on his point
has been given by the Frankfurt Zeitung
saying that despite the absence of official
admission Of the fact it is certain that
three other large steamers Of the Nor
German Lloyd Line have been charter:
for September and that in the Cabinet an
order is impending for the formation of
a corps Of 10, 900 men. Opposition papers
c~riticise this because the Reichstag has

and point ont that another heavy army
