REVENGE THE CRY
London, July 16. 2s7 y. m.-"Rcvenge
today, mourning tomorrow, is practical
ly the universal cry OF Europe, put ~ IL
sorrowfully admitted that there can be
no revenge today, nor perhaps for many
tomorrows, for the incredible barbara
ties that are reported TO have marked
the last scenes within the legations al
Pekin.
Nothing is cIea<er than that the anti
foreign connagration In China IL rapid
" permeating even hitherto quiescent
provinces; and though II is recognized
that every day which leaves Pckin In
the power of the mob increases the perils
of the situation, nothing comes from the
diplomats OF Europe 10 show that the
powers have overcome the jealousies, re-
sulting i'm general impotency, TO which Is
commonly ascribed the sacrifice OF the
handful of women, children and men
comprising the international colony In
Pekin.
CHING A DEFENDER.
Nothing has been received today that
adds to the Information previously OBJ
tained regarding the massacre. The
only ray or light extricable from the Pc
kin messages appears to be the state
ment that Ching and his followers did
their utmost In defence OF the legation.
The rebels. however are evidently
greatly. I'm the majority, and the few
ioyalists are helpless before the hordes
who have joined and are daily joining
the blood-stained gangs, who have
usurped authority at Pekin.
The fate of the capital appears to
threaten other towns like Tien-Tsin.
Chee-Foo and even Shanghai. The defeat
of the allied forces at Tien-Tsin seems 10
place that town I'm desperate straits, and
IL retreat TO Taku r. necessary observers
consider that IT will be likely 10 decide
the policy OF wavering viceroys.
The departure OF Admiral Seymour
from Tien-Tsin and the movement of
warships toward Shan-Tai-Kuan. on
the Gulf OF Liaotung. are taken to indi-
cate that this route may be adopted for
an advance on Pekin. which is distant
10 miles from Shan-Tai-Kuan.
HAVE NO INFORMATION.
Tho members OF the Chinese legation
this morning still assert that they have
no Information concerning the fate OF
the foreigners In Pekin.
The war Office today issued n dispatch
from Gen. Dogward. dated Tien-Tsin,
July II. which adds little TO previous in
formation.
The Chinese. according to this dispatch.
attacked the station the morning OF July
II. and were repulsed after four hours
hard fighting. in which 500 OF the enemy
were killed.
On July Q. Gen. Dorward. commanding
a force OF 100 Americans. go British and
400 Russians and Gen. Fukushima. COM
manding 1000 Japanese. attacked the Chi
nese and captured their positions south
west OF the city, killing $50 and captur-
ing four guns.
American and Japanese troops subse-
auently rushed and took the western ar
senai. Gen. Dorward adds that the days
honors rested with the Americans and
Japanese. There were no casualties
among the Americans or the Russians.
WILL TRY AGAIN.
i5erln, July 16--The German consul at
Chez. Foo having communicated to the
governor of shan Tung Emperor Will
liams' offer OF a reward Of 1000 taels for
the rescue OF foreigners In Pekin. has re-
ceived the governors reply which Is dated
July Is, TO i.e effect that the shutting
up OF foreigners in Pekin has deeply
toucned his heart. but that attempts to
