LONDON, August 16, $3.50 A. M
'The allies are reported to have reach
ed Pekin, Monday" says the Shanghai
correspondent of the Daily Express,
wiring yesterday. He adds:
Chinese official news confirms this
statement, but with details"
A Paris message repeats this, but the
statement, especially as 1t emanated
from Shanghai, must be accepted with
considerable reserve.
Other London morning papers, bas-
ing their remarks upon Washington
dispatches, which, with the exception
Of the foregoing from Shanghai, form
the latest news regarding the advance
are divided in opinion, some believing
that the allies must already
Have Reached Pekin.
and others preferring to believe that
the relief will not be accomplished I'M
til the end of the week.
Telegraphing from Yang Tsun Aug
ust 9Th, Daily News correspondent
says: .
Sir Alfred Gasalee hopes to keep
the enemy running and to follow him
right into Pekin"
Ngan Piang was occupied without
firing shot, according to a despatch
to the Daily Express, from that place,
dated August 18th.
ut is believed the message says,
''that Generals Tung Fuh Slang, Ma
and Chung are enjtrenching, 10000
strong, at Tung Chau The allies may
avoid Tung Chau, pursuing the route
northwest from Chang Kia Wan. Tung
Chau appears to be about twelve miles
from Pekin.
A despatch to the same paper from
Shanghai, dated yesterday, says that
the officials
Profess to BE willing
to hand over the foreign ministers
their families and servants, but will
not permit the departure of native
Christians.
"The Russian government, contin-
ues this telegram, has notified Ii
Hung Chang of its Willingness to re-
ceive NJ. De Giers outside the walls OF
Pekin, thus avoiding the entrance Of
the Russian force. This independent
action is calculated to embarrass the
allies seriously. Japan demands that
Gen. Yung Lu shall meet the allies out
side the city gates and deliver the min
listers and all the native Christians"
The Chinese minister in London. Sir
Chih-Chen-Lo-Feng-Lu, is quoted as
saying:
The powers must not
Press too Hard on PeIlin.
If you defeat the Chinese soldiers. it
will not be possible to control the SOL
diery. They may turn and rend the
legations. do not believe the legation
food supply will be stopped as long as
the powers refrain from attacking Pc
kin and negotiate for the surrender of
the ministers"
The Times has the following from
Shanghai dated Tuesday:
The viceroy has withdrawn his oppo-
sition to the landing of British trops on
condition that this does not entail the pres
ence of other forces. but instructions have
been received from the British govern
ment that decentralization is to await fur
Their orders. The fact is generally known
that Great Britain is hesitating. The pub
lie, official and unofficial, is unanimous
ly of the opinion that the withdrawal at
this stage would be denlorable and would
produce the worst results"
