ATTITUDE OF THE POWERS

LONDON. June 15.-The news from China
is distinctly confused. but the general
trend indicates that the gravity of the SIT
uation has in no way diminished Shanghai
provides the usual crop of alarmist rt-
mors to the conditions at Pekin and the
preparations to oppose the international
forces. but there is disposition II Lon
don to regard the safety of the legations

threatened at the present moment. 1t is
realized however. that the slightest sign
of a check to the international forces will
put an entirely different face on the mat
ter and will probably lead to an outbreak
of the rabble. which will not be easily con-
trolled. Besides. the news of the burning
of the French and British missions at Yum
nan-fu is regarded as extremely grave. as
it points to the extension of the rebellion
to remote portions of the empire.
Seymour May Need More Men.

the entry into Pekn of tie International
forces are true. 1t may be necessary for
