Paris, Aug. 13.-According to dis
patches received from Vice Adm.
Courrejels, of the French naval com
mand, native Christians and mission
aries on the line to Hankow, 500 l1ilo-
meters from Picking, are in great dan
ger, the point being entirely outside
the sphere of the allied operations
He has also received bad news re-
garding New Chwang, captured Au-
gust 4, which as he is advised has
since been evacuated.
According to his advice from the
French colony in Picking, eight ma
rines, one cadet and enc customs EN-.
ploye have been klned.
The Patrie publishes the following:
"The procurer general of the congre-
CATION of the Lazarist missions, Mgr
luxembourg, informs us that he has
just been advised by NJ. Delcasse that,
according to a dispatch from the
French consul general at Shanghai
1000 Christians have been massacred
at Pao Ting, east of Picking. No other
details are at hand"
If such startling news has been re-
ceived by the foreign office it has been
kept secret, as the usual news chan
nels have not been made acquainted
with anything of the kind.
London, Aug. 13.-"The sooner we
can be got out of this the better,
for it is inconvenient for the Chinese
government and unsafe for ourselves"
This is a message received from Sic
Robert Hart, dated Peling, August 5.
and sent in cipher to the Chinese
maratime customs office in London.
Commenting upon it the Morning
Post says: 1T would seem to indi-
cate that the Chinese government Is
anxious for the safety of the foreign
ers or at any rate anxious to get
them safely out of Picking, while Sir
Robert Hart evidently expects that
they will get out sooner or later"
Sheng, director general of railroads
and telegraphs, according to a Shang-
hal dispatch to the Standard, ex-
presses grave fears for the safety of
the members of the legations when
the defeated Chinese troops return to
the capital.
The Austrian naval commander re-
ports to Vienna that the allies de-
cided to rest for three days after the
taking of Yang-Tsun.
London, Aug. 11.-An edict emanat-
ing from Peking and authorizing Ii
Hung Chang to negotiate with the
powers for peace has, it is reported
from Shanghai under Thursdays date,
been received there.
The correspondents at Yokohama
again send the statement that a
Russo-Japanese force is moving on
Peking from the north. The move
ments and number of this force are,
it is further asserted, kept secret in
order to prevent the facts from reach
ing Peking.
Brussels, Aug. 1.-THE foreign Of
fee has received the following mes
sage, signed by E. De Cartier De
Marchienne, first secretary of the
Belgian legation at Peking:
Shanghai, Aug. 1O.-An imperial
decree names Ii Hung Chang min
lister plenipotentiary to negotiate
peace"
The foreign Office has also received
from the Belgian minister at Peking
a dispatch identical with that re
ceived by the French foreign office
from the French minister at Picking,
NJ. Pichon, telling of the attempts
made by the Chinese to secure the
foreign ministers acceptance of a Chi
nese escort to Tien-Tsin.
Washington, Aug. 11.-Another mes
sage from Minister Conger was re-
ceived by Chinese Minister WI at
1890 Friday morning. WI took It to
the state department Friday morning,
where it was translated. 1t was dated
August 8, and had been sent from Pc
king two days before. 1t was identical
with the message from the French
minister at Picking, which was made
public in Paris Thursday. 1t says
that the allied forces must be of suf-
ticient strength when they reach Pc
king to protect 500 foreigners and
5000 native Christians, who can not
be left to be massacred. 1t also states
that the ministers refused to leave
Peking without instructions from
their governments. 1t is probable
that all ministers sent similar notes
to their governments.
The only new features in Minister
COnger's message from that of NJ.
Pichon is the list of American cas-
ualties. He reports killed and 16
wounded. Capt. Myers and Surgeon
Lippitt, who were among the wound
ed, are doing well.
