LONDON. March 27.-Evcnts in
the Far East are being closely
watched by the Foreign Office. The
despatch OF squadron to reinforce
that on the Chinese station Is be-
lieyed to have more bearing on af.
fairs in Corea than at Taku In China,
which Is being made the excuse by
Great Britain and the United States
to get their warships near Corean
waters.
The arrival Of Russian squadron
ut Chemulpo Is considered a bad sign.
as Great Britain will assist Japan in
any trouble with Russia. The ten
sion over the Masango foreshOre Is
OF long standing. Japan Is said to
have Hooded Corea with her troops

Chicago. July l4.-A dispatch to the

ceived with great emotion the dreadful
details of the catastrophe at Pekin.
Tears coursed down his majesty's
cheeks as he read the cablegram from
Admiral Alexiefr. at Port Arthur. con-
flrming the horrible details of the as
sassination Of NJ de Giers, which merely
in the form OF rumors, had aready
reached Russia. The admiral declares
that the Russian envoy was dragged
through the streets by Boxers, insulted.
beaten, tortured and even thrown into
a great kettle and boiled TO death. Then
the remains were thrown to the dogs.
When De Giers was being disposed of,
a fanatic mob danced around the cal
dron. Madame de Giers, Admiral Alex
lens advices declare, suffered a fate
worse than death and was beaten and
tortured with sharp sticks until life was
extinct. Legation officials are said to
have been tortured hendlshly until
death ended their sufferings. DE Giers
and the legation officials resisted des-
perately and the brave bodyguard kill
ed many OF the attacking mob. In the
midst OF his tortures, the envoy Is said
to have heroically proclaimed his faith
in Christianity. encouraged by his wife
who so soon shared his martyrdom
