begin TO advance upon Peking in a
fortnight. and in view of Admiral Sey-
mour's visit of inspection to the Yang

time will elapse before matters assume
more definite shape.
Good Faith Doubted.
Washington, July 27.-There were
no Developments Thursday TO warrant
the assumption that there will be the
slightest improvement in the Chinese
situation. Indeed, the general tenor
of the news, as found light, was to
add to the steadily growing doubt as
to the good faith of the Chinese gov
eminent as manifested in its acts.
Belief Is Shaken.
Washington. July 2S.-Unless some
authentic assurance as to the condition
of the Americans in Picking reach the
state department within day or two
the administration is likely to abandon
whatever faith it has manifested thus
far in the truthfulness of Chinese in
formation.
Admiral Remey telegraphs that
heavy reenforcements have been
thrown into Picking. making it impossi-
bic for the allies to capture the city eN-
cept with an overwhelming force. He
said the allies have IS 600 men at lien
tsin. but it will be impossible to move
before the middle of August.

Washington. July 2s.-Secretary Hay
signalized his return to Washington
from Canton Friday morning by the
announcement that under no circum-
stances will the United States govern
ment accept the Chinese offer to turn
over the foreign ministers to the in
ternationals at Tientsin in considera
ton of suspension of the campaign
against Picking. A long cablegram
was dispatched to Rear Admiral Remey
at Taku and it is believed that this in
struction was laid upon him.
