little disorder. The prompt action Of
the mayor in distributing squads of
armed men through the city and the fact
tnat the negro Charles. who caused the

Wavering with regard to the reliability
of the alleged messages from Minister
COnger and Wu Ting F'ang's assurances
have had markedly depressing effect
on this side of the ocean, where many
have been buOyed UP by the sanguine
views of the state department at Wash
ington regarding the various Shanghai
dispatches, and pessimism is again gain
Ing the ascendancy.
"No improvement in the general situa-
tion," is the message one agency brings
from the British consul general at Shang-
hal to overwrought Europe, while an
other asserts that as. week has elapsed
without reply to the consuls message
to the British minister at Pekin, Sir
Claude Macdonald, through the tsung
Ii yamen, the belief is confirmed that the
Chinese official reports are only to gain
time and that, If the ministers are alive,
they are held as hostages.
AS commentators pertinently remark,
II there Is an atom of truth in all the
Chinese asseverations, the officials have
only to supply the legations, not with
vegetables, but with telegraph forms.
Definite news of any kind is scarce.
The report comes from Shanghai that
business has been resumed at the por.
of New Chwang. and that a second Jap
anese division is mobilizing at Toxic pre-
paratory to embarkation for China.
Through Yokohama dispatch the
government has received information
that Chinese attacked body of Japanese
and Koreans in the vicinity of An Tong
! (on the north side of the Yalu river).
Refugees had arrived at WIFI. Japanese

scene of conflict.
The fastest news received at St. Peters
burg from Blaguvestchensk was dated

re-supplied with ammunition mad would

New York, July 28.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: The neces-
sity for a censorship of press dispatches
from Shanghai has been proved by the
untrustworthiness of all accounts of the
massacre alleged to have occurred on
July 6. The foreign officers of Europe
must now admit that they have been
themselves deceived by sensational jour-
nalism. 1ncredulous as the state depart
ment may have been in accepting Mr.
Conger's message for a date which Shen
chose to assign to it,,
Sir Claude Macdonald, who was a SOL
dier before he was a diplomatist. explains
what veterans in Chinese service have
been unable to understand. namely. his
method of successful defense for a period
ing of the siege the embassy and guards
occupied and held a portion of the city
wall and from this bastion commanded
the open spaces around the British and
Russian enclosures, and also prevented
artillery and rifle fire from the high posi-
tiens close at hand. The Chinese had
been using a three inch gun. but had not
succeeded in organizing an effective at
tack. Veterans of the service who knew
every foot of space in the British en-
closure We're amazed by the evidence
that the assault upon the three legation

posed to believe that the danger might
