1--WE hereby command this our general
edlct to be made known for the informa-
tion Of all It may concern Respect this"
A significant statement in the above
edict is noted in that passage which di-
rects an investigation of all claims ex-
cept those arising directly from the said
attack (attack on Tien Tsin) with view
to their ultimate settlement
This appears to make plain, not only
that the Chinese government will settle
claims for actual losses, but that rt has
now formally decreed an exception Of
these claims arising directly from the
attack on Tien Tsin It seems TO indicate
that the Chinese government holds that
the attack on Tien Tsn was unwarran'ed
SAN FRANCISCO, JULY 2S.-There is

commanded the Pekin relief expedition,
killed his wounded to save. them from the

with sheng. the director Of posts and

Therefore it is extremely possible hat he

On the other hand If this dispatch re-

opinion of officials here it woull indicate
that this official either has been grossly

English secretary to the Chinese 1ega-

that the Pekin legations were safe and
about to roceed to TienTsin.
In a private message from Shanghai
II is asserted that Hung Chang
avows that the object of his Journey
is to place the regular Chinese army
in line with the allied troops for th,,
suppression of the Boxers.
The Times editorially suggests that
Ii Hung Chang is paying the ola
game of sublime porte by putting for
ward proposals which will appear in
different degrees and ways to different
powers. 1t says:

the situation in Manchuria as far more

minister Of war, will probably become

The Chinese advanced in great numbers

Seymour then said: prior to our depar-

After detailing the capture of the forts

ed that the ammunition and food would
have kept the relief column in condition
for several days, but owing to tho pres

to return to Tien Tsin. On the 92d. the
