disquieting. The troubles in China are
spreading. According to despatch from
Hongkorg the Black Flags have risen and
are marching on Pekin, devastating the
districts on their way and spreading terror
among the foreigners and native Chris
tians.
This announcement, IN connection with a
specias correspondents despatch from Pc
kin, dated August 19, morning, and sent by
way of Taku, August a, and Shanghai.
August %, 1855 2. m. is causing great
uneasiness. The despatch referred TO stat
ed that on that day, August 10. forty
American civilians with an army escort,
would leave the capital for Tientsin. If
the Black Flags should come in contact
with this foreign detachment, there is dan
ger of its annihilation.
The Pekin despatch also says that it is
now known that four of the Yamen min
listers and one court official were beheaded
during the siege because of their foreign
sympathies
The Chinese Court is now stationed at
Paoting-fu-
According to adyices from Hongkong the
outrages III the southern provinces con-
tinue.
The Christian station at Yungtak was
destroyed on August q and the native
Christians were made prisoners and tortur-
ed. TIE mob demanded a ransom of 244
tt.asels for each prisoner. Several English
educated natives who were prisoners were
beheaded because the ransom was not
Forthcoming.
The matter Of military administration
by the powers in the Chinese Empire is
approaching an acute stage There are
forebodings in official circles here that
clash of authority may occur at any time.
A significant despatch was received to-
day from Paris. bearing upon the ques-
tion of managing the affairs of the En-
pire. It says:
M. t4anessan. the Minister Of Marine,
states that. acting on the suggestion of
General Frey, the commander OF the
French troops in China. the commanders
OF the allies have decided 10 organize ali
international commission similar to that
which was established in Crete and which
will be entirely independent Of Field Mar
shal Count Won Waldersee- Its duties viii
be to select points which may serve each
power as bases for provisioning and equip
ping is forces.
For France. as well as for the other
powers. eight officers will be assigned TO
this work, under the direction of Colon Is
Marchand. and Desperey- Under this
scheme there appears TO be no further nee
essity for the organization of headquarters
staff consisting of foreign officers.
The impression exists in journalistic
circles here that General Frey's action is
intended to cut the ground beneath Count
Won Waldersee's feet"
A despatch from Cologne says: The
Cologne Gazette today comes out as an
advocate of international control of the
administration of China and the collection
Of war indemnity of many hundred mil
lions Of taels. 1t says the administrators
should have unlimited power to supervise
the entire fne nciaI system"
