tary OF the navy through Captain

elaborate fabric OF dispatches which tht
Chinese are building to persuade the
civilized world that the ministers are
still alive, is only intended to enable
them to gain time to complete prepar,
ations for warfare.
The Shanghai correspondent of thu
Daily Mall asserts that a Chinamar
who was employed at the British lega-
tlon as writer and interpreter, has
escaped from Pekin to Niu Chwang and
that he declares that at the time ne
