MIRACULOUS REAPPEARANCE OF
THE EMPEROR.
Empress Dowager and Prince Tuan
picion of Western Nations.

LONDON, July 20.-Dispatches from
Yokohama announce that another divis-
ion of Japanese troops is embarling for
China, accompanied by siege train for
the reduction of Peking
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Mail asserts that Emperor
Kwang Su telegraphed to the Mikado
an expression of regret for the murder
of the Japanese Chancellor of Lega-
tion Sugiyima Akira, and points out
that the community of interests be-
tween China and Japan in the East
against the ambitions of the western
powers should lead the Japanese En-
peror to make common cause with
China, and to assist i'm the restoration
of peace. The Mikado according to
this correspondent, replied that the ac-
ton of the insurgents was in complete
violation of international law, and that
the murder of Baron Won kettelCr was
a grievous offense The Mkado added
that the Chinese Government should
suppress the disorders and rescue the
Ministers, thus disarming the hostility
of Europe. His Majesty's dispatch
concluded thus:
Japan is cordially friendly and is
only sending troops to rescue foreign
ers in Peking and to restore order. She
has no Interior objects hostile to China,
and, if proper measures are taken, she
is prepared to use her influence to con-
serve the interests of the Celestial EN-
pire."
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Times says he learns on good authority
that Ii Hung Chang has undertaken to
proceed north in order to negotiate on
three conditions: First, that concilia-
tory attitude be adopted forthwith.
Second, that the Boxers be energetical-
ly suppressed Third that he himself
is not to be held responsible, even if
he fails to obtain satisfactory terms.
The correspondent adds:
Il have been informed by native
official that the Niceroy of Markings
Yamen believes that majority of the
foreigners in Peking escaped destruc-
ton on July 8, and that although por-
ton of General Nieh's troops Joined
the Boxers at Tientsin, a large num-
ber followed General Mich to Peking,
where they have been successful in as
ssting Prince Ching and Yung Lu to
protect the legations"
