Che-Foo. Tuesday, July 3.-,Copyrisht.
1900. by the New York Herald Com
pany.,-It Is estimated that there are
10000 Chinese imperial troops between
T.en-Tsin and Pekin.
The force at the disposal of the naval
and military commanders is inadequate
for an attempt 10 relieve Pekin and
must await large re-enfcrcements.
The bOmbardmeDt of Tien-TSin has
been renewed and il Is reported tina, Adj
miral Seymour has been wounded. The
Chinese intrenchments reach within Il
few hundred yards of the Taku read.
1t is expected that the railway be-
tween Taku and Tien-Tsin will be in
working order within ten days.
The American Admiral. kenpff. has
advised all Americans to quit Taku and
20 to Japan or Port Arthur.
While it is reported that the Chinese
around TienTsin are deserving. yet Il
large force is marching upon the place.
An amazing amoun, IF WAR material has
been seized in the Tien-TSin arsenal.

EMPRESS ANS EDlCTS.
Reconciliation Impossible, the
Powers Began the War.

Berlin. July "A dispatch from Canton
dated Tuesday July 3. gives the gist Of the
two edicts of the Dowager Empress dealing
with the Boxers the attack of the For
eign Powers on China and the latter's po-
si;ion- One ed!ct declares that reconcilia-
tion with the Christians. against whom the
whole nation. including the Princes. military
officials. literati and mobiles. were united
and are now stamping out. is quite impossi-
bic. IL Is asserted that the Powers began
the fight by the attack on Taku. thereby
enhancing the bitter feeling against all for
eiGners. saying that any attemp: 10 sup
press the people would be dangerous. and
adding that Therefore IL seems expedient
at present 70 utilize the anti-foreign move
ment."
The other edict AYERS tina: the Dowager
Empress is ready TO protect the threatened
legations in Pekin. "But II remains to be
seen" says the Empress Dowager. wheth-
er the foreigners OF the Chinese are the
stronger. In any case all the Governors
should Immediately enroll troops for the
deferse q; their districts. as they will be
held responsible for loss Of territory.
The St. Louis Republic., 1900-07-05

though II was not known before that Ad-
miral Seymour lost any prisoners. The
Chinese troops marching toward Tien-Tsin
the Chinese say. left behind them trails OF
fire and blood. Native women were raw
ished and children were cut in tive.
Tuan Directing Fighting.
Direct tidtngs from Pekin end with the
dispatch sent by Sir Robert Hart on June
2j. According to roundabout reports, it Is
asserted by the Chinese that Prince Tuan
is personally directing the assault upon the
legations. He conferred honors and gave
large sums o: money and other presents TO
the leaders Of the Boxers and the COM
manders OF the troops who drove back Ad-
mfral Seymour. and also gave money TO
every soldier taking part In the operation.
An e1tct of Prince Tuan's has reached
Shanghai. ordering the Southern viceroys
TO assemble the Chinese fleet and to attack
the warships at Shanghai
Japan Is reported to be landing an army
at Peetaughs to the northward of Taku.
The japanese Generals are believed to be
about tn move toward Peiin, following the
plan previously formulated.
European and American residents in
Shanghai are quite In panic over what Is
viewed as the inadequate military prepara-
tiOns of the Powers
dispatch TO the Express from Shanghai
says tina; according to the best military es-
Inmates 10000 men will be necessary to sub
tugate Northern China. and even then II
will take two or three years. The forces OF
the Chinese Empire have gathered such mo-
tion that even Japan's fun strength. Row
launched. will be unequal to the task of re-
storing order.
Tao Tai Sheng Of Shanghai issued a proc
Iamation on wednesda which practically
forbids foreign warships approaching the
forts.

GREAT CHINESE ARMY.
SPECIAL By CABLE.


London. Thursday. July 5.-(Copyrigh!.
1900. by the New York Herald Com
pany.)-A special dispatch to the Daily
Mail. dated Shanghai, Wednesday, says:
The attempt to relieve the hard
pressed European garrison in Pekin has
been formally abandoned. The Ad-
mirals have met at Tien-Tsin and de-
cided that the weakness of the allied
forces left no other course open. This
practically leaves the little band in
Pekin with the women and children 10
certain doom.
This has filled the entire European
community in China with bitterness and
despair, but there are few who affirm
that any other course is possible.
THE experience which befell Admiral
Seymour's force practically decided the
question of relief. Ii is pointed out that
the Chinese had AZ that time in the
field only a fraction Of the huge force
which now cuts of Tien-TSin from the
capital. Now this force amounts to at
least 100000 men. nearly all of them
well armed.
