Reports First Advance.

London, Aug. T.-:'rhe advance of the
allied forces commenced today cables
the British consul at Tien Tsin, under
date Of Aug. 4. This Is, the first official
Information received here that the at
tempt to relieve Pekin has begun. 1t Is
accepted as correct.
The British consul does not mention
any fighting, but the Shanghai CORE
apondent Of the Daily Mail, telegraph-
ing Sunday, says:
The Pekin relief column is reported
to have suffered check. The Chinese
are said to have adopted Tugela tactics
and after several hours of lighting, to
i have retreated.
This Is the only message received in
London thie morning bearing out the
reports of Admiral Remey and Com
mander Taussig regarding an engage
ment at Peitsang. The fact that the adj
vance did not bsgin until Saturday is
taken to strengthen the accounts of a
battle on Sunday.
In the same cablesram. which was
read in the house of commons, the con-
s,l at Tisn Tsin says:
News from the Japanese legation
has been received up 10 Aug. L.
Therefore the edicts announcing the
safety OF the ministers on that date are
confirmed.
Yesterday the Chinese minister Sir
Chen Lo Feng Luh communicated to
Lord Salisbury a. message from the
Tsung Ii famen dated July 81 reiterta-
ing the statement that the ministers
were safe on that date and recounting
the friendly relations existing between
them and the yamen, as Well as report
ing the sending Of supplies to the lega-
tions by the samen.
The message contains this Important
statements
"A successful termination of the con-
ference with the ministers for their cons
veyance under escort to Tien Tsin is
expected. but, on account of the recon-
mencement Of hostilities at Tien Tsin,
code kilograms for transmission to the
representatives are considered undesir-
able"
This appears to confirm the state
ment that the Chinese government will
endeayor to stop the march 10 Pekin by
using the minister's as hostages.
The st. Petersburg correspondent OF
the Daily Mail says: Active negotia-
tions are proceeding between Russia
and the United States. the probable out
come of which will be resolution Ia
uphold the integrity OF China uncondi-
tionally
The Standards Shanghai representa-
tive, wiring Sunday, says:
II ip clear that the march to the re-
lief Of Pekin will be anything bur a
walkover. japanese scouts have discov-
4 cred large force OF Chinese southwes,
OF Tien Tsin. and another large force in
the vicinity Of Iu Tai, to the east
ward.
It ID learned now that the member,
OF ths Tsung Ii Yamen who were put

clivitieS were not beheaded, but were cut
