The Chinese are strongly entrenched
at Wang Tsun, from which position.
however, it is believed they. can be
elected without great difficulty. The
danger is that if defeated there the
Chinese will retire on Pekin ana put
the remainder of the Europeans to
death.
1t is also possible that the advance
OF the allies will be the signal for the
Chinese authorities to compel all for
eigners to quit the capital. in which
event they might become the prey Of
the fanatical Boxers
The feeling Of the newspapers here
is that nothing whatever should now
delay the advance and that no nego-
tiations of any kind should be coun-
tenaneed until the allied troops reach
Pekin and assure themselves regard

MILBRIcGE'S MYSTERY.
Box ard BIoc6siained Blanket. Shirt and
Handkerchief Found on River Bank

! Milbridge. Me, July 31.-The quiet
little town of Milbridge has been puz-
zIed by the discovery made by Capt.
| Everett Curtis While the captain was
| starting in 10 NOV the grass i'll his
| field. about one fourth Of q mile above
the Milbridgc bridge and bordering on
| he river. he thought he heard voices
| coming from the direction of the river
| caming from the direction of the river.
They being uncommon sounds, he
started in the direction to ascertain
| if possible whore they came from.
ON his way To the shore he could easily
trace someone's track through the
grass. where the dew was yet on the
ground. and followed the trail he
came out to the bank of the river,
where a sight met his eyes that start
led him. No human being was in
sight, but on the shore was a box con-
tanning a new blanket with the cost
tag still attached. a shirt. and hand
kcrchief, all Of which were covered
with blood.
The thought at once suggested itself
to him that there had been a murder
committed and the BODY disposed by
being set adrift. When the tide rose
the box had evidently been capsized
and the supposed corpse is now miss
ing.
Deputy Sheriff Swanton was at once
notified, as We're also the selectmen of
the town. who at once began to inves-
tigate the matter. but up to the pres
ent no further trace has been found.
lat least, none that has been made pub
lie. II is thought that the cost ticket
found attached to the new blanket
may be the means Of tracing the possi-
BE crime.
