What with the reports coming
through Tien-Tsin that the Boxers
have massacred a number OF native
converts and servants OF foreigners
east of the city of Pekir. besides burn
ing the Catholic cathedral at Pekin
the situation in the far east appears
perceptibly graver. To add 20 the diff
culties comes the news this morning
that telegraphic communication be-
tween Shanghai and Tien-Tsin is to-
tally interrupted. Consequently, the
prevailing uncertainty as to the facts
and possibilities of the position will ba
accentuated.
1t is generally recognized now that
the position of the foreigners at Pelxin
is perious, as there is but a short step
from the massacre of the servants of
foreigners to the killing of the foreign
ers themselves.
"If massacre is averted." says the
Spectator and the Palace reduced TO
seeming obedience the grand difficulty
will be TO decide on the next step. The
