ULTIMATUM TO TsUNG-LLYAMEN.
CHINESE FOREIGN OFFICE BROUGHT UP

Peking May 30-The situation is somewhat
better, the Chinese troops having occupied all
disturbed localities.
The party rescued at Changs -Sin-Tien de-

Boxers.
The gravest anxiety is felt to the
probable behavior of the Chinese troops most of
whom sympathze with the patriotic movement
to drive out the foreigners, who are regarded as
gradually absorbing China
The Chinese authorities attempted throw
obstacles in the way of bringing the foreign
guards to Peking. The Ministers maintained a
firm attitude. and to-day they were informed
by the ung-l-Yamen that IL would be impossi-
BILE to bring up the guards until the Tsung- Ii
Yamen had communicated with the Viceroy of
Pe-Chi-Li. AS this was regarded an obvious
subterfuge in the interest of delay the Minis
ters replied that if proper facilities were not
granted now the fifteen foreign warships at
Taku would land a sufficient force to come to
Peking without the consent of the Chinese Gov
Yamen to give definite answer at or before
a tomorrow Thursday. This is expected
to produce the desired effect.

on Monday to the Sublime Porte by the United
States Charge dAffaires. The note was a reit-
Grafton of the preceding one: it was stronger
and more forcible in expression, but was in
sense an ultimatum. While diplomatic pressure
is steadily exercised, the Ottoman Government is
being treated with every consideration.

No excuse or explanation of that action was
given. This was only in keeping with the short

curate, although at the time Of cabling no
of Lord Roberts's movements had been issued
by the War Office or even apparently received

longer.

The action protested against by Cowan and
Thomas Campbell who claim TO be the sole owners
OF the property. The court records show that the

TO his Cuban appointment. but the officials assert
that they show that Neey only sold part of
the stock, and his last visit here transferred the
property for the purpose of preventing it's seizure
by officers. Campbell is known to have recently
made the statement that his interest is only for
ne-eighth OF the property. and he has withdrawn
from the local printers union. Campbell is also
quoted having said that Nicely at least
one-haf of the property. and that Cowan. who
came here at first small salary and later was
made manager. has no stock in the company.
