KAISER'S SPEECH DENIED.
Continued from page L.

snal accounts Of the massacre on July 6, but the
sevidence was not clear and the witnesses were
not quoted at first hand. The statement of a
servant OF the German Embassy that there had
been no massacre up TO July is the closest ap-
Lproach TO trustworthy information which has yet
been received. There is a sheaf of general dis
patches referring to the seven days lombard
I iment Of Blagovestchensk and the occupation Of
Tien-Tsin by the allied forces. Advices from
New -Chwang show signs of growing uneasiness
! tn the Yang-tse Valley and the flight of the
missionaries from various sections.
The news is not reassuring respecting the
legations. since every fresh day of silence and
mystery impairs the hope that the remnant
may have been saved, but there is no direct
evidence that the fame Of revolt has been
kindled in remote provinces. l. N F.
