LONDON, Aug. $3.50 a. m.-The al
lies, resuming aggressive operations,
have taken the district west of Pekin.
This statement, based on Chinese au-
thority, is cabled from Shanghai. From
the same place comes the further state
ment that Ii Hung Chang has wired
the empress dOwager at Hsian Flu re-
Questing the arrest Of Prince Tuan and
the disarmament Of the Boxers, in order
to give him opening for negotiations
with the powers.
The illuminations projected at Shang-
hal in celebration of the relief of Pekin
have been abandoned, lest they should
cause a native outbreak.
Evidence has been received here"
says the Shanghai correspondent OF the
Standard, "going to show that Gen. Yung
Lu was the real author Of the anti
foreign outbreak, the empress -dowager,
Prince Tuan and the others all having
been persuaded by him to take an ex-
treme attitude while he stood aside and
awaited developments"
American refugee missionaries in
Annoy, according to the Hong Kong cor
respondent of the Daily Mail, are anxious
to return to the interior, but the United
States consul has forbidden them to do
so, and urges them to go to the Phil
lppines or return to America.

say that consul opinion there looks upon
Japanese action in the landing of troops
at Annoy, despite the protests of the con-
u1t1O cir - 20 1To,,
Chwang, the whole indicating a tenden-
cy to a partition of the empire.
Russian journals agree,'' says the
Moscow correspondent Of the Standard,
that it is impossible to deal with China
In the spirit of revenge, as suggested
by Emperor William. They believe that
methods less drastic can better accom-
plish the designs of Russia in Sdanchuria
The question would be satisfactorily set
tied to Russian minds by the seizure of
the northern provinces"

peror William, when wiring in answer
to the announcement that a Russian
regiment had been named after him, as

MARsEILLEs, Aug. PIN. Francois.
French consul at Yum Nan Sen, arrived
here this afternoon aboard the steamer
Tonkin. When questioned with regard
to the troubles in China, he replied that
the first cause was the hatred the natives
felt for the foreigners. After that, in
his Judgment, came the overwhelming
ambition of Prince Tuan, inspector of
the imperial policy. "Tuan it was" said
M. Francois, who prepared everything.
He was able by his Machiavellian skin
and by The assistance Of his creatures
to get an imperial order delivered the
same day in all the provinces of China
directing the massacre of foreigners if
they refused to leave the country
