WAR EXISTS I'M CHINA.
Members OF Foreign Legations Are virtu'
ally Prisoners.

A state OF veiled war exists in China
The members OF the foreign legationi
in Pekin are virtually prisoners. and
the Chinese troops are only restrained
from attacking them by fear OF the
legation guards.
Meanwhile the ministers are alto.
gether unable to communicate with
the commanders of the relief column
which is making an enforced and iso.
lated halt between Tien Tsien and
Pekin. The walls OF the capital are
guarded by lo0,ooo imperial troops
The gates are heavily defended with
modern guns. General Tung, acting
under orders OF the empress dowager,
says that no more foreign troops have
or shall enter the sacred city,
On Monday the ministers sent a de-
mand to Tsung Lii Yamen that the
gates be opened, declaring that other
wise the foreign troops would enter
forcibly. To this no reply was given.
A second message went unanswered,
or had not been answered when the
latest news left Pekin.
Sir Claude MacDonald's latest mes
sage says that the legations are ca2a-
BILE of sustaining an effective defense,
unless attacked in force.

The national party elected its entire

as did also the fourth municipal Judge
ship. OF the six other councilmen,
four are Republicans and two are Ma
tionalists, who ran independently.
Reports from every part of the is
land go to show that perfect order pre-
vailed at the polls. Not shot was
fred, nor was there any sign of dis,
turbance anywhere.
To an American observer of the elec-
ton it seemed as If the people regarded
the whole ma tier with absolute indif-
ference. There was not crowd in
waiting to hear the result declared.
not cheer was raised, nor were there
any of the ordinary indications of elec-
tion excitement, although a demon
stration in honor of the successful can
didate was held
The victory of the nationalists is
chiefly due to the fact that they were
first in the field, and had the benefit
of well-disciplined organization.

OF horrible suffering, as the insects
slowly gnawed away his flesh, Wilson

UNCLE SANS POLICY,

In China.

In China.
1t has been decided to stand by the
policy which has been entered upon in
China of pushing measures for the pro-
lection of the lives and property of
American citizens and of acting inde-
pendently as far as possible.
1t may be that in the accomplishment
of this result the forces of the powers
will have to act in unison for the pro-
lection of all foreign residents in the
disturbed districts, but this Is to be the
extent of the American activity. The
Chinese government will be looked to
under the general laws of the comfy
OF nations TO restore order and to make
such reparation as is proper. From all
political schemes, in which many OF
the powers may become involved, the
United States is to hold aloof This Is
the general policy heretofore outlined,
and II will be adhered to-
The navy department has cabled
directly to Rear-Admiral Kempff at
Taku TO form him that marine rein
forcements have been ordered to him
from Manila. Thus the admiral will
be in position to act with greater
freedom in sending relief expeditions
to Peking and elsewhere, knowing that
he will soon be able to replace the ma
rines diverted from Taku

China declared war against the world
when the Taku forts opened FIRE upon
the international feet, June II. The
accounts of what took place are still
unsatisfactory, the best semi-official in
formation being the dispatch received
at Berlin from Chez Foo.
The German consul at Chee Foo tele.
graphs the following:
The Chinese laid to-pedoes in the
Taku river and collected troops from

The foreign commanders assembled
on the Russian flagship and addressed
an ultimatum to the commanders of the
Taku forts, summoning them to with
draw their troops before 2 o'clock,
June II.
At a. M, june II, the guns of the
forts opened fire, to which the Russian,
British, French and Japanese warships
replied.
The bonn bardment lasted seven hours.
Two British ships in the river between
the forts are reported to have been
sunk.
The telegraph line and railroad be-
tween Tien Tsin and Taku was de-
stroyed. Commu nication by water is
also threatened
The casualties to the mixed forces
were as follows:
Killed-British, /; German, 3; Rus
sian, /, and French /.
Wounded British, A; German, 4;
Russian, AS, and French l.
killed.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
London Daily Mail, says:
"The forts began firing in observance
to orders from Pekin, conveyed In the
personal edict Of the empress dowager,
by advice of Kang vi president of the
ministry of war;. Several warships
were struck by shells from the twelve
inch guns of the forts.
"The heavy Russian losses were due
to the blowing up of the magazines of
Mandshur.
At Washington it is difficult to get a
precise official view of the status OF
our relations with China since this last
news. The conclusion that we are in
state of war is emphatically mega
tived by the officials best competent to
speak.
The Chinese minister, WI Ting Fang,
does not believe that we are at war
with China. He said that there had
been a great Misunderstanding and he
was satisfied that if the Taku forces
had fired upon the international fleet
it was because the commanders of the
Chinese forts there did not understand
what was wanted, or had failed,
through an error, to receive proper in
structions from his superior.
Secretary Hay was asked if the latest
developments had made any change III
the policy which the United States has
adopted toward these Chinese troubles,
He replied '.Our naval forces in that
region have been directed to act con-
