No News From ReIgiaps.
TIENTSIN, May GA detachment of
200 Chinese soldiers cleared the railway
between here and Peking and ordinary
service was resumed at noon. No news
has been received from the Belgian engi-
neers engaged in the construction of the
Luhan line. In other respects the situa-
ton is more quiet.
Thirty Japanese have arrived from a

American Marines Land.
TIENTSIN, May 2s.-one hundred
American marines from the American
cruiser Newark are expected here at IL
o'clock tonight. An armed rescue party
of Frenchmen and Germans started this
afternoon to try to relieve the besieged
Belgians. The viceroy under pressure
of the French consul, has permitted the
rescuers. to travel by railroad to Feng-
tai, where Chinese protection ends. The
Belgians are besieged at Changtsintath,
near Fengtai.

Bile. Admiral Kempff may send n marine
guard to Picking. The authorities are In
n very awkward position with respect
to landing troops in China. II is not
desired to take any such action. for one
reason, because Americans are distrib-
uted at widely separated points. and for
another reason. because the entrance Of
the Americans would be followed by sim

Europe.
Foreign Guards Wiu Arrive.
LONDON. May 3O.-The Peking corre-
spondent of the Times telegraphing Tues
day, says: THE foreign guards have been
summoned by the legations and will ar
rive Immediately. This decision was we'll
taken. The opinion is widespread that
the powers should compel China TO defray
the cost of a measure which the apathy
of the Chinese government necessitates.

WASHINGTON, May 2e-Such advices
as have reached here indicate that the
situation in China is assuming a very
critical phase, and one calculated to tax
the entire resources of the Chinese gov
ernment. The state department has been
in close communication with Mr., Conger.
our minister at Peking, and the navy de-
partment is doing its share, having
placed the flagship Newark as far up the
Peho river as the Taku forts, which is
the nearest point to Peking that the ship
can reach. The operations of the Box
ers" are increasing in magnitude. Their
demonstrations are no longer local, and
they appear to be governed in their move
ments by some well-settled design. They
have murdered nine Methodist mission
aries in one province. at the town Pa
chow. and have closed in on Peking.
Chinese Army Dfsloyal.
Meanwhile the Chinese army is sus-
pected of disloyalty, this belief being
strengthened by wholesale desertions of
the soldiers to the Boxers.
Minister Couger Asks for n Guard.
Minister Conger has appealed to the
state department for the protection of
marine guard for his legation. The de-
thorization to call upon the nearest United
States naval vessels for assistance. 1t is
not known yet whether he has availed
himself of the permission.
The ship he would naturally look TO
would be the Newark, and it is assumed
that he has already communicated with
Admiral Kempff on board the flagship.
The embarrassing feature of the situation
a. hA nf
between Taku and Tientsin and the capi-
tai, for the Boxers" have burned the
railroad bridges and there are probably
only two courses open to the marines who
wish to reach Peking-a long overland
march through a hostile country, away
from supporters, or a tedious voyage up
the swift and shallow Peho in shore
boats in tow of the steam launches.
More Serious Than Expected.
According to report, the Chinese gov
ernment has done everything in its power
to meet the demands of the diplomatic
body at Picking for the dispersion of the
Boxers" but it appears that the upris-
ing is far more serious than was at first
apprehended, and even the resident min
listers at Picking are inclined to admit that
the task is not an easy one for the Chi
nese government
So far all the measures taken by the
state department look to the simple pro-
lection of the American legation at Pc
king. the American consulates in the i'm
mediate vicinity and the lives of such
Americans as may be obliged TO take
refuge therein, In the event of general
rioting The state department is closely
adhering to the practice 1t has always
observed of noninterference in these Chi
nese disturbances. and 1t is not contem-

Pekng Is In Danger.
LONDON. May 29.-The Daily Express
has the following telegram from Shanghai.
dated Tuesday:
THE rebellion continues to grow In in
tensity and the gravest fears are enter
tained Of its ultimate extent. The foreign
envoys at Peking fearing a massacre with
ing the capital. have decided to bring up
guards for the legations. The rebels are
now massng outside of Peking and their
numbers are reported to be constantly
augmenting. Fresh contingents OF armed
malcontents are coming up almost hourly
from the north.
Imperial Troops Join the Boxers.
''The imperial troops who were sent to
disperse the rebels. found themselves
hopelessly outnumbered. Several hundred
were captured. after which the most OF
the remaining troops went over to the
rebels. They are now marching side by

The position of the missionaries is one
of extreme peril unless aid Is speedily
forthcoming. 1t is feared that they will
meet with the same fate as their unfor-
tunate converts, whom the Boxers are
ruthlessly numbering. "
Russia VIII Land Troops.
special dispatch from Shanghai says
il is believed Russia is about to land
troops at Taku from Port Arthur. where
10000 men are in readiness. The Chinese
are reported to be sending large masses
of troops overland from Hunanadkiang.
but the generalissimo refuses to assume
command on the plea of sickness. The
Boxers assert that they are confident
of receiving support from the dowager
empress, Princess Kiang VI and Chang
Tun and the entire Manchu army.
Throughout the North the Boxers are
enlisting hordes of desperadoes. They
are intent upon expelling everything for

ST. LOUIS. May 29.-In a rioting sense
today's developments were the worst ex-
perienced since the strike on the lines
OF the st. Louis Transit Company was in
augurated, over three weeks ago. The
rioting was confined to the southern sec
ton of the city. and by nightfall the po-
lice records showed that fully dozen
persons had either received bullet wounds
or been hurt by flying missiles. Three Of
those hit by bullets received what are pre-
sumably mortal wounds. and that no one
was killed outright seems miraculous con-
sidering the great number of shots ex-
changed in indiscriminate fashion on the
part of the employees of the comrepy, the
strike sympathizers and the strikers them
selves.
