CHE FOO. June 26.-The officers of the
British first-class cruiser Terrible assert
that discord exists between the Russians
and Anslo-Americans and say they believe
the Russians are planning to break the
concert and take possession of Pekin in
dependently. They assert that Vice-Ad-
miral SeyInour'S command lacked unison,
the foreigners sulking because they were
under British leadership. They bitterly de-
nounce the Russians general conduct as
uncvilized and barbarous and charge that
the slaughter Of peaceful Cinnamon at
TaIlu has aroused the otherwise passive
natives against the foreigner.
The British consul at Foo Chow is asking
for warships. The arrival of the British
first-class cruiser Terrible and two Japa-
nese cruiser at Che Foo to-day removed
the strained situation. Two Che Foo forts
equipped with Krupp guns command the
foreign city. The only protection was the
United States gunboat Yorktown with $50
sailors AS an outbreak was reported last
night the sailors slept on their arms and
the Foreigners prepared to take refuge ON
the ships.
WASHINGTON, June 26.-The officials
reports from Che Foo that discord existed
between the Russians and the so-called
Anglo-Americans. Coming from the Off
GERS of the Terrible it is considered as
largely 'salor talk" At the same time
it has been recognized from the outset
that such a Heterogeneous force gave OPP
portunities for serious division, as 1T is
well known that the sailors and soldiers
of certain countries do not like to serve
under British commanders, and that Brit
ish sailors and soldiers have the same dis
inclination to take orders from a foreign
superior.
But it has been hoped that the peril OF
the moment would lead all differences to
be sunk in order that a common purpose
might be executed against common
enemy One OF the chief dangers appre-
hended has been that the foreigners would
separate into factions. not only reducing
their power against the Chinese, but open
ing up the more serious possibility OF an
international breach between the forces OF
the foreign powers.
Besides this it is felt here that the Rus
