TALK OF M'KINLEY's REPLY.
Foreign Papers Think the President
Is G'Easy.''


London, July 26.-The London morn
ing papers regret .'that, the president
of the United States has taken a line
that can hardly fail to encourage the
Chinese to further duplicity.'
The Pail Mall Gazette says: Surely
this is not the time for tea table talk
about s--airs and settlements. Pres
ident Mckinley has succeeded in con-
veying the impression to Pekin that
the United States viii enter half
heartedly into a campaign of reprisals.
His eXuberatn courtesy may not, how
ever, have much bad result. as gen.
erals must soon take the conduct of
affairs out of political hands"
The Berlin Lokal AnZeiger says:
''The dispatch expressing regret that
Baron Won Ketteler was assasSinated
left Pekin over month after the muir
der had occurred. While asking En-
peror William to mediate as the sole
hope of China. similar request is sent
to France and the United StaeS, and it
seems that only a fortnight before
Emperor Kwang Su had asked Japan's
emperor TO enter into an alliance
against the western powers. This alone
shows China'S double-facedneSs She
knows practically what is needed to
clear up the situation, namely indubi-
table proof of what has become of the

The British premier and minister of
affairs. Lord Salisbury. today notified
the United States ambassador here, Jo-
seph II. ChOate, that it was impossible
to accept the evidence so far submit
ted by the Chinese government or

garding the safety of the foreign min
listers at Pekin and that until their
safety was fully established the British
government would be unable TO dis

Situation Bad in Manchuria.

London. July &c, a. m.-There APP
pears to be a difficulty. owing to the
Russian censorship, to get an accurate
idea of the situation in Manchuria.
Nevertheless, there are rumors that the
situation is more serious than it is
officially represented to be, and that
the Russians have been driven back
while trying to save the southern pOr-
ton Of the eastern railway.
The Chinese have burned Lavoang
to prevent Russian concentration there
and are now trying to smash cOmmu-
nication between Port Arthur and
New Chwang. The critical situation
has forced the Russians to withdraw
a number of troops from Tien Tsin.
while 5000 troops have been sent from
Port Arthur
1t is reported that an entire army
corps is being mObolized at Odessa for
transport to Taku by the volunteer
fleet.
1t is reported from Chwang that
the Russians are concentrating forces
at a point fifteen miles east of that
fort, and raising reinforcements before
advancing on Mukden, Manchuria. The
Boxers have wrecked the bridges on
the Shanghai, Kwan and Kin Chau sec
ton OF the railway.

PIGS AND DOGS
EATING CORPSES

Copyright. 1900. by the Associated Press }
Tien Tsin. July IS via Shanghai. July
24.-The native city this afternoon pre-
sents an appalling spectacle of ruin
and desolation. The suburbs were COM
pletely destroyed by fire, mostly caused
by the shells of the allies on the side
facing the settlements. II is believed
that not a dozen houses are intact, and
all were a little damaged by the ire
mendOus fire of the allies artillery,
which, however, was apparently not
heavy enough to produce much effect.
A curious Spectacle is presented by a
number of mud novels Immediately un-
der the wall where the latter was most
damaged. hardly one of them showing
signs of having been hit
Inside the city the damage was ter
rife. The buildings nearest the wall
were mostly Quilted by fire. and many
were totally blown to pieces by the
shells Of the allies. Among the smoul-
dering ruins are many charred corpses,
which the pigs and dogs are eating.
The allies are busy removing the
bodies, but, in consequence of the great
number of dead, many have not yet
been buried. The streets throughout
the city are strewn with all kinds of
articles. and dozens of Chinese are dig
Sing in the ruins for money and other
valuables. Most of the houses which
are intact or little damaged display the
flags of one or the other of the allied
forces, the Japanese and French flags
preuominating. There have been many
attempts to initiate the flags, which,
under Jther circumstances. would be
laughanle
The houses which do not display flags
show bits of cotton or paper bearing
the names of the allied nations and
complimentary sentences. The French,
apparently. are the favOrites, many of
the pieces of cotton and paper displayed
bearing the inscription, France" or
"Vive la France" All are Enthusiastically
in the handwriting of native clerks
formerly employed by foreign Chinese
firms
1t is stated that the Chinese losses
since the trouble broke out are II 900,
most Of whom have been killed by Box
ers and soldiers. This IS probably much
exaggerated.
The Boxers are said to be gathering
IN large numbers in the neighbQrhood
OF the Hsikun arsenal, captured by Adj
miral Seymour's column, and now Oc-
cupied by Russian troops, who have
suffered severe casualties through
'snipers" concealed in the woods in
that vicinity.
Since the issue of the proclamation
inviting we'll disposed Chinese TO re-
turn TO their homes, a number have
come back to the city, and many ma
tive servants are coming to the settle
ments, majority of them returning to
the service of their previous employ
ers.

CHINESE FIGHTING
ONE ANOTHER

Copyright, 1900. by the Associated Press.)
Tien Tsin, Friday, July 20.-Chinese
coming in from the country report that
the Chinese soldiers are killing the
Boxers wherever the latter are seen,
giving as a reason that the Boxers de-
ceived them into embarking in a hope
less struggle.
An intelligent Chinaman said he re-
garded this rs a sign of widespreading
dissension. It was only a matter of a
short time, he declared, before the same
state would exist in Pekin, when. in
all probability, Jung Lu, commander
in-chief of the Chinese forces, and
Prince Ching would be able to regain
sufficient influence to make peace, es-
pecially if the foreigners in the capital
were safe. This appears to represent
the general native opinion here, as far
as it is possible to ascertain it.
A runner who arrived from Pekin
yesterday reports that the foreigners
were safe on July 10, and that there
has been considerable fighting between
the Boxers and soldiers inside the
city

detail was ready to start to Cebu In a sail

day, February 6, the detail came back in q
launch with Maj. Leafe, our battalion COM

the body was taken aboard and the launch
