foreigners are left alive in the capital.
There were 100 foreigners connected
with the legations, fifty in the custom
house, English and American tourists
and others to the number of $50, and
nearly 500 legation guards.
The British foreign office, the Daily
Mail learns, has received news from
the British consul at Che Foo that Ba-
ron Won Ketteler has been killed, but
no other information.
A dispatch to the Express from Nan
kin, June 80, says: French priests
her@ have received reports from Pc
king that the public executions of for
eigners have been in progress since
June 20. The news comes by n
from French priests at Picking, who
state that they administered the last
rites to the condemned men"
Nankin cables, dated Sunday, say
that Viveroy Liu Yum Yih received a
telegram from General Yulu on Satur-
day stating that the German minister
had been murdered at Picking. Yulu,
who escaped from Tien-Tsin to Pao
Ting Flu, also wired:
Position desperate. Implore your
help. Foreign troops of eight national
alities entering Picking to the number
Of 10000 or 5000. I cannot hold out
four days"
Liu Yum Yih has received this from
viceroy Of Yunshiki: Foreign troops
victorious at Tien-Tsin. They will en-
ter Picking Immediately"
Outbreaks Of the Boxers appear to be
imminent at Canton The feeling of
unrest steadily increases. Boxers
from Hing Tu were marching IN Sum-
day from Che Foo. The governor fear
ed for the town and sent to the war;
ships for forces.
A small riot occurred at Che Foo on
Saturday.
The morning papers generally accept
the reports that Baron Won Ketteler
has beeen killed, and express grave IN
certainty as to whether any of the
members of the legations at Picking
are safe.
Fifty-two refugees, who have arrived
from Chwang, aver that the Boxers
have destroyed the railway north Of
Port Arthur, and that all the American
and English residents are leaving. Gen.
eral Yuanshihikan, commanding the
best foreign drilled troops in China,
has notified the German governor of
Kiao Chau that he will not permit the
Germans proposed expedition to Weih-
sien to rescue Chalfront and the Misses
Bowden and Halves, the American mis-
sionaries in the hands of the Boxers.
The missionaries at Pao Ting Flu were
reported to be safe on June %.
A correspondent in Shanghai learns
from an official source that the Chinese
are laying torpedoes between Shanghai
and the Kiang Nan arsenal.
Agents of the Boxers are busy in
Shanghai provoking hatred Of foreign
ers.
Nothing had been heard from the col
umn which relieved Admiral Seymour
five days ago and then proceeded to-
wards Picking, but as it takes at least
two days to communicate between
Tien-Tsin and Che Foo there is moth
ing extraordinary in this. Troops are
going forward from Taku to Tien-Tsin
daily, though some reports from Taku
allege that it will be three weeks be-
fore a large force can be sent to Pc
king.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from
Ting Ku, without date, via Che Foo,
Friday, says:
vt is improper any longer to conceal
the harm done to the cause of the al
lies by the barbarities and the pillage
OF the Russians on the day after the
bombardment. They wantonly shot
natives and looted everything, includ-
ing the European houses in Taku. The
natives for miles around were looted
Of supplies and labor is s%carcer."
