THE WAR IN CHINA.

A dispatch from Cheloo says: Rear
Admiral Kempf reports, by japanese
torpedo boat, that the combined forces
entered Tientsin on Saturday last sus'
tanning q small loss. They started on
Sunday to relieve the force which left
Tientsin on June 10, and which is be-
lieyed to be surrounded near PekiD.
According to Japanese reports, Admiral
Seymour has been captured and the
ministers have left Pekin, guarded by
Chinese soldiers. Their whereabouts
are unknown.
Othcr advices from China, however,
indicate that the forces of the foreign
powers, far from making progress, are
getting deeper int TO trouble. The force
of. 800 marines OF the nations interested,
under command of the British admiral,
Sir Edward II. Seymour, which was
sent from Tientsin for the expressed
purpose OF protecting the foreigners In
Pekin, has not been heard from for 10
DAYS. Pekin itself has been cut oil from
direct communication for 10 days.
Sheng, the Chinese minister OF rail-
roads and tel graphs, has informed the
French CONSUL at Shanghai that all
the foreigners in Pekin we're safe June
10 and were then preparing to leave
with the authority of the Chinese Gov
ernment," The Consul transmits this
In 40 official dispatch to Paris.
An idea of the huge task which the
powers have assumed is given In q dis
patch from Shan Hal Kwan, about 200
miles northeast of Pekin. This dispatch
states that the Chinese army around
Pekin alone numbers 100000 men,
armed with modern weapons. The dis
advantage of this army is that it is badly
drilled and disciplined. =.
1t was expected that an attack would
be made by the foreign forces on the
Chinese at Tientsin Sunday night, but
the result is not known. An American,
Russian and German force, which had
been cut off nine miles from Tientsin,
was relieved by the arrival OF some
Welsh and Indian troops of the British
army.
President Mckinley has refused a
request for an armistice in the opera
tions of the American forces in China.
This request was made by Wa Ting
Fang, Chinese minister at Washington.
Minister Wa urged that an armistice
be allowed to prevail until Ii Hung
Chang, who was last reported at Cam
ton, can reach Pekin and bring about
cessation of the disorder. The yiceroys
of the disturbed provinces also gave
assurances through Minister WI that
they would restore and preserve order.
President Mckinley said the United
States would not bind itself not to send
troops to places where American inter-
ests are threatened.
A belated dispatch from Admiral
Kempff, asking II he should cooperate
in the seizure OF the forts at Taku, has
arrived ct the Navy Department In
Washington. 1t must have been sent
come days ago, for Taku was captured
last week. As the United States forces
took no part in the attack, Admiral
Kempff evidently deemed 1t unwise to
act without instructions.
