Mr.. Tam Ye. the Corean Charge d'Afaires,

Of the Boxer revolt into Corea. The words

be nothing alarming in the fact of Imperial
troops being in close proximity TO the borders of

China the uncertainty as TO whether the ap-
preaching troops were Boxers or Imperial troops
may have given rise 10 the fears entertained by
the people in the north. So far as he knew
there was no Boxer element in Corea and he
was not inclined 70 credit the report of a
threatened invasion Of Corea by the Boxers.

LANDING

London July 1S.-The latest Chinese assur-
ances of the safety of the European legations
at PeHing are not credited here. On the con-
trary, it is believed these assurances have been
dictated by a desire to the native CITY of
Tien-Tsin. A correspondent at Shanghai sends
word, under date of July 16. that there is hardly
a doubt that Sheng. the Chinese Administrator
of Telegraphs, is withholding information I'm
his possession. The news of the massacre as
already sent to the United States may be taken
correct. The dispatch adds that there is
evidence that the Woo-Sung forts Cat the mouth
Of the Woo-Sung River and ten miles north of
Shanghai being strengthened and supplied
with large quantities of ammunition. 1t is hoped
in London that the landing OF $4,000 japanese
troops which it is expected will be effected to-
day and the arrival of Indian troops Will enable
the allies to reinforce Shanghai.
