Admiral Remey has cabled to the
Navy Department that he has arrived
at Che-Foo with the armored cruiser
Brooklyn, and would proceed immedi-
ately to Taku.
A dispatch from Chefu dated Sunday
says that the Ninth United States Infan-
try arrived at Taku Saturday and dis
embarked from the transport Logan. 1t
is expected by the authorities in Wash
ington that the regiment will push on to
Tientsin Immediately to reinforce the
allied garrison there.
At a Cabinet meeting in Washington
a dispatch from Admiral Kempff relating
to the situation in China was considered.
AS a result, it is said, two additional
regiments of United States troops will be
dispatched from Manila to reinforce the
troops already in China. The Navy De-
partment will also send additional ma
rines. An advance on Pekin is expected
to take place soon.
Information has come from several
sources that Prince Ching head of the
Chinese Foreign Office, has taken issue
with Prince Tuan, the Boxer leader, in
Pekin and is protecting the legations
there with imperial Chinese troops,
Prince Ching is practically, it is said, at
the head of a counter-revolution This
fact has led to renewed hopes that the
legations may yet be rescued.
Admiral Bruce has sent telegram to
the British Admiralty Department from
Taku, stating that there are grounds
for hoping that Prince Ching, with his
army, is at Pekin protecting the lega-
tons against Prince Tuan, his army and
Boxers.

News of the Week.

The Consuls at Shanghai report that
the Pekin legations were safe on July
4th, and that the Chinese had ceased
their attacks. The only fear now felt,
according to the report, was regarding
the food supply.
A cablegram from United States Con-
sui General Goodnow, at Shanghai,
dated July 9TH, says that the legations
were standing on the sd instant, and
that the recent attack of the Boxers had
been slight. They seemed disposed to
adopt starvation methods.
The State Department has received a
lengthy report from Minister Conger, at
Pekin, under date of May 2Ist, giving
particulars of the Boxer outrages and
the steps taken by himself and other
Ministers to warn the Chinese govern
ment of the gravity of the situation, and
to demand protection. The Chinese were
profuse in promises, declaring that
troops had been sent to the disturbed
district and a secret proclamation given
to the Viceroy which would insure the
restoration of order Minister Conger
was appealed to by the Chinese Foreign
Office not to ask for guard of marines
for the legation, as ne threatened

The Powers have consented to permit
Japan to send as many troops as it de-
sires to restore order in China. The
terms of the agreement have not been
made public, but it is understood that
Japan is not to take advantage of its
strength to acquire exclusive rights in
Chinese territory London diplomats
suggest that Japan may be reimbursed
by permitting it to garrison Korea 1t is
believed that Russia would not consent
to this
Emperor William of Germany sent the
first Chinese squadron from Kiel yester-
day. He told the forces they must
avenge the outrages of the Chinese, but
must spare women and children.
There has been renewed fighting at
Tien-tsin, according to Chefu dispatches
The Chinese forces have again bonn
barded the town. Non-combatants have
been ordered to leave. Foreigners are
taking refuge on warships at Taku.
The Navy Department was informed
that the Oregon has arrived at Che-Foo
She will start for Kure, Japan, to DOCK
July 10th or 18th. A rough estimate
made at the Navy Department consigns
the Oregon 10 the dry dock three months.
The courtesy exhibited by the Japanese
government in allowing the Oregon to
use this dock, which is owned by that
government, is much appreciated by the
Navy Department officials.
The Viceroy of India reports for last
week: "The rainfall has been fairly gen
eral this week in Bombay, Deccan, Be
rar, Khandeish, the central provinces of
the Gangetic Plain and the Punjab, but
has been much below the average for
these tracts, except in Southern Deccan.
Little or no rain has fallen in Rajpoo-
tana, Guzerat and Central India. The
cholera mortality continues high in the
Bombay. The May mortality there was
appalling. The number of persons re-
ceiving relief is 6oI3,ooo."
The Governor of Bombay telegraphs to
the Foreign Office as follows:
There were 1920 deaths from cholera
and 6,5o2 fatalities in the famine district
during the last week in June. The total
deaths among the numbers on the relief
works in the British district were 1894
The number on the relief works is in
creasing rapidly in consequence of the
drouth. The number on gratuitous relief
is increasing throughout the affected dis
tricts.
AS Lord Roberts dispatches reveal,
the Beers are unusually active, both in
the Orange Colony and the so-called
pacifed Western Transvaal, but without
producing any serious impression upon
the British arms

details Of successful operations under
taken to drive the Beers to the east of
Broenkerspruit, and of repulse of a
Boer attack on Rustenburg, in the
Transvaal.
