COURIER FROM LEGATIONS

Japanese Brings a Dispatch Dated
July 23-Only Had Provisions Sufn-
cient For Five Days and % Rounds
of Ammunition For Each Man-For-
eigners Are Leaving Chung King.
LONDON, Aug. A. - Nothing direct
from the allies operating beyond Tien
Tsin is to hand, but news agency dis
patch from Shanghai today says battle
is expected Sunday with General Mas
10000 Chinese at Yang Tsung.
The Russian and French contingents,
according to this dispatch, are guarding
the communications of the Americans
and British, who form the advance col
umn. A dispatch dated at Tien Tsin
Friday, July 81, says another dispatch
from Peking, July 81, has been received
duplicating in part one sent by differ
ent route. It says:
Provisions barely sufficient for IA
days, ammunition is short.
The ministers had again rejected the
proposition of the Chinese government
that they leave Peking under Chinese
troops.
Another courier from the Japanese le-
CATION brings dispatch dated July 90,
saying that but five days provisions
were left and 25 rounds of ammunition
for each man.

the foreign community are leaving

There is no trouble in Ching Kun now
or in any part of SEE Chuen, but dis

CHINESE REFUSE TO
ALLOW The MINISTERS
FREE COMMUNICATION
Request of American Govern
ment Is Denied by the
Tsung Ii Yamen.
SURPRISE FOR THE ENEMY

Large Russian Force VIII Land at
Point Convenient to Picking TO Con-
verge With the National Troops Now
Advancing on tho City-Gen. Chaffeo
Meets With Many Difficulties.
WASHINGTON, Aug, 4.-Taken in con-
neotion with what has preceded them,
today's cablegrams from China place
the Chinese government in the unique
position of denying liability for what
the Chinese troops have done at Peking,
while assuming responsibility for what
they are now doing in the neighborhood
of Tien Tsin.
The tsung Ii yamen s intimation thatit
is not expedient to allow communica-
ton between our government and its
minister because fighting is going on
near Tien Tsin, leaves little doubt as to
who is responsible for the resistance be-
ing offered to the allied forces. The
Chinese government will assume respon-
sibility for what has happened or what
will happen as result of military &C
ton.
OF course this notice from the tsung
Ii yamen can be construed as an answer
to Secretary Hays demand upon LII
Hung Chang that free communication
be opened with the ministers at Peking
and their own governments and, in con-
sequence, the negotiations which were
about to be instituted had that request
been complied with, may be regarded as
indefinitely postponed.
Surrounded by Difficulties.
The international column is still sur
rounded by strong difficulties in their
progress to Picking. While the war
department. has heard recently from
General Chaffee the officials will not
make public his dispatch and r Used to
say whether they themselves -ew that
the movement had begun.
There are signs that all is not well
with General Chaffee and that he is
meeting with greater difficulties than
has been expected in getting his troops
debarked and ready for the start toward
Peking
There is a renewal of the rumor that
something is occurring at Shan Hal
Kwain at the eastern end of the great
wall, which will surprise the Chinese.
1t is believed here that strong Russian
column either has been or will be at
some point near Picking to converge
simultaneously with the international
column and thus divide the Chinese OPP
DOsing forces

FIGHTING AT TEN TsIN.
Telegram of the Tsung LII Yamen

Telegram of the Tsung LII Yamen
Brings News of Battle.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. The state de-
partment this morning issued the fol-
lowing:
minister Wa this morning handed
to the acting secretary of state copy
of a telegram from the taotai of Shan
ghai, dated Aug. 2, and received by Mr..
Wu on the evening of Aug. 8. 1t con-
firms the message of Yuan Shih Kal,
governor of Shan Tung, to Mr.. Fowler,
consul at Che Foo, purportlng to COM
municate the same telegram of July 30
from the tsung Il yamen, but 1t Is TO be
noted that it contains portion omitted
from the governors message, namely,
that as fighting is going on in Tien Tsin
it is not expedient to send separate ci-
pher kilograms to ministers in Picking.
The present telegram agrees with Con-
sui General Goodnow's report received
Yesterday that Earl LII Hung Chang had
told the French consul at Shanghai Aug.
8 that no messages would be delivered
to the ministers, because the foreigners
were advancing on Peking."

The crocodile cleared the decks literally,
regained its upright position and crawled
over, sinking the boat, which rolled and
dumped him into his natural element,
when with rush he was off. As the
boat moved away we flung ourselves aft

short distance the sauran towed us all.
But the boat, full of water, was too much
for long tow, and he soon quieted down
and began to swim in circle while we
towed the boat inshore. We finally
reached near enough to get rope, which
we fastened to the boat and to tree.

pretty sure to live to ripe old age. I'M
fortunately, the rush and hurry of modern
business life will not permit the average
man to take frequent outdoor exercise.
In lieu of life spent partly in the woods
and on the water, a man must find some
kind of medicine to tone up and invigorate
him and incite the vital organs of his body
to the faithful performance of their normal
functions. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery Ia the only thoroughly effective
medicine for this purpose. lts principal
action Is upon the organs that feed the

the liver 1t facilitates the flow of the di-
gestive juices in the stomach and the

Titles in the large intestines. IT invigorates
the liver and puriies and enriches the
blood. When the blood is rich and pure
the old inert tissues throughout the body
are torn down and replaced by new and
healthy flesh tissues and nerve ibers. If a
mans blood is filed with the rich, pure
elements of health, he can get along with a
scanty amount of exercise. Disease germs
can gain no foothold in his system
