This news of the latest British dis

disposed of the impression that the
war is nearly ended. All England real-

ENGLAND INSISTS.
On a Modification of the Joint

N Pckin, Dec. 1S.-Sir Ernest Mason
Satow. the British minister, on def.
mite instructions from London, has de-
manded a modification of a point in the
joint note which the foreign ENJOYS
generally regard as important. This
means further delay, as all the minis
tiers must communicate anew with
their respective governments. Just
what is the nature of the objection
raised by Great Britain the ministers
decline to say, but they admit that the
new demand win involve a good deal
more diplomatic negotiation.
], The army" of the Netherlands, Col.
Knoble commanding, has arrived here.
This force consists of four men. which
Is not q very formidable array OF
strength, but it Is sufficient to enable a
"a Demand to he Made
for increased indemnities on the
ground of the Dutch military opera
tions.
& There is increasing frequency in the
reports of Boxer activity. A story that
Col. Tullock, commanding an English
force, had killed forty Boxers on his
recent expedition in search of alleged
buried treasure at Tiechaying tends to
corroborate these reports, but the best
information is to the effect that the
country is overrun with disorderly
characters and disbarded soldiers who
have turned bandits, and the outrages
committed by them are attributed to
Boxers This condition Of affairs was
to be expected after the conduct Of
certain Of the allied forces
Pursuing md Shooting
the imperial forces wherever they
were encountered. These imperial
soldiers were driven from the places
they were protecting and everything
was consequently left unguarded,
which left great quantities of personal
property Of every description.
The condition will undoubtedly con-
tinue until the Chinese government is
permitted to send back sufficient
troops to preserve order. In the mean
time, as said before. the disturbances
Of every description are laid to the
Boxers. The reports, however, have
stirred the Germans to renewed activ-
ity. 1t is q serious matter for China
men to be accused Of being Boxers
when they are denounced to the Ger
mans. and In q number of cases the
unfortunate Cinnamon have been be-
headed when the evidence tended to
show that they were ordinary robbers
and not Boxers. zfat
