CHE Foo. July 2e. via Shanghai,
Aug. 2.-Public opinion and the for
eign press at the treaty ports are
alarmed at the possibility that the Chi
nese would prevail upon the powers to
consent to the establishment Of peace
without infiicting punishment befitting
the Chinese governments crime. Of
ficials. persons engaged in commercial
pursuits and missionaries OF all nation
alities are remarkably united.
They believe that Pekin should be
destroyed as an object lesson, and that
If the dynasty is continued II should
be forced to establish the capital at
some accessible city, the Americans
suggesting Nankin. This is considered
important. as the Chinese always be-
lieved that China defeated the powers
in 1850 because the capital remained
intact. It is also thought that guaran-
tees TO prevent excessive armament
should be demanded. and that China
should be compelled publicly and de-
finitely to renounee the fiction that the
foreign ministers are representatives Of
tributary powers. There is a strong de-
mand that unusual punishment like
destruction Of the kings tombs be in
fiieted. The American and English
missi onaries advocate a program SINH
lar to the foregoing.
All foreigners believe that the Chi
nese government engineered the out
breaks and IS trying to call off its
troops after the downfall Of Tien Tsln
and the receipt Of reports that the
powers are sending armies to China.
A German legation telegram, saying
that the bombardment Of the legations
ceased July II, supports this theory.
The foreigners think that the ministers
who suffered should, If rescued, conduct
the settlement with the government, for
the effect it would have on the popu-
lace.
An intensely bitter feeling prevails
against Ii Hung Chang. The papers
denounce the honor paid him at Hong
Kong and Shanghai, and call him the
most corrupt anti-foreign official in
China, and express the belief that he
proposes to save China from the penal
ty Of her acts by embroiling the pow
ers.
The destruction Of foreign property
continues. United States Consul Fow-
Ter estimates that the losses Of the
American missions amount to S1,5OO,O0O.
The trade losses through the suspen-
sion Of trade are enormous. Chinese
bring many stories Of horrible outrages
upon native Christians, who have been

CHE FOO, July 2s,'via Shanghai. Aug.
2.-The latest reports from Pekin we're
brought by disaffected officers Of the
Chinese army. They are considered re-
liable. The officers left Pekin on July
Is. They say anarchy had reigned
in PeI1in for months. and the streets
ran in blood, the Cinnamon fighting
among themselves. Jung Lu, comman-
der-in-chief of the Chinese forces, and
Prince Ching. espoused the cause Of the
foreigners and endeayored with the part
Of the army loyal to them to expel
the Boxers. Later. with the majority
Of the imperial troops, under anti-for-
eign leaders, Prince Tuan and General
Tung Fuh Sian were victorious, and
Jung Lu and Prince Ching with their
followers were made prisoners in their
yamuns when the bearers Of these re-
ports left Pehn.
Prince Tuan and General Tung Fuh
Sian appear to control the government,
according to the officers, and issued
edIcts. printed in the Gazette, exhort-
ing the Chinese to kill all foreigners
and native Christians. One of the Of
icers says there are 5000 troops in
Pekin, including Tung's army and 5000
more at Yung Tsun The soldiers hold
all the streets within mile Of the le-
cations. n

left Pekin. had burned and abandoned

Chinese mendncity has overshot the
mark. II has cenv'ncel well-informed
men here thas the Boxer movement
has been Transformed into an official
agency. and that there has been no
attempt on the part Of the empress to
intervene on behalf of the foreigners.
Public opinion has been stiffened by
the evidence that the Chinese carm'l-
la is seeking to make use Of the for
eigners as hosta nd to dictate
terms Of settlement with its hands

thereby securing four legations against

A prominent member Of the diplomat
ic corps states that there is much in
credulity among the embassies here re-
specting the genuineness Of dispatches
purpcrting to come from the besieged
legations, and that suspicious are en-
tertained that some Of them have been
forged. This view is not shared by Of

serve the accounts Of the siege given
by Sir Claude Mcdonald and Dr. Nor
rison.
