ON TO PEKIN.
Admiral Remey Says Army Will Start
August Is.

Washington, July 21.-The secretary of
the navy received a cable message from
Admiral Remey, this afternoon, in re-
sponse to his instructions to use and urge
every effort for the relief of the be-
ieaguered ministers at Pekin.
Admiral Rerney's message related to
the military situation at THEN Tsin and
Taku and the prospects of a forward
movement on the part of the allied forces
i'm Pekin. 1t is understood that Admiral
Remey says that a strong expedition,
composed of representatives of all the
powers, will start from Tien Tsin on
August Is for the rescue of the foreign
el1s imprisoned ait the Chinese capital.
The strength and composition of this
force as Well as the personality of the
officers in command, are not definitely
known There is reason, however, for
the belief that Admiral Remey counts
upon having a good force of Americans
in the column. This will be in conse-
quence of the arrival of THE expected re-
Endorsements at Tahu before that date
named. The Ninth Infantry, under Lieu
tenant Colonel Coolidge, numbering
about 1000 men, is now at Nen Tsin.
The Fourteenth regiment, under Colonel
Daggeaa, and "a battery of the Fifth ar
tillery, numbering about 1000 men, from
the Philippines, are expected to arrive at
Taku tomorrow or Monday. The trans
port Grant, carrying two squadron OF
the Sixth cavalry and "a battalion OF
marines and Major General Chaffee, who
is to command the entire force, is eX-
pected to arrive at Taku about the mid
die of next week.
There are about 1000 men on the
Grant, including 500 marines, now in the
vicinity of Taku. There will be about
300 American troops available for the
proposed expedition ot Pekin, provided II
does not start before the 30th inst.

] REBELLION SPREADING.
Boxers Getting Into the Northwest
Of China.

New York, July 21.-A dispatch to the
Journal & Advertiser from Shanghai
says:
The Boxer rebellion is spreading to the
northwest to Shan ST, Shen ST and Kan
Su provinces and southwest to the prov
ince of Hanan. In conjunction with Tung
Fuh Siangs troops the Boxers have en-
deavored to recover their lost ground in
Shan Tung province, where the Boxer
movement originated and was fostered
by Yuh Sien, then governor, but since
transferred to Shen ST.
The Boxers suffered a severe reverse
on July 9th, from Yuan Shiwia at Chan
gooW.
On the southern border of Chi Hi, ad-
joining Shan Tung. the Boxers intended
overrunning Shan Tung and crossing the
yellow river into Kiang Sui.
All provinces south of the Yellow river
are so far undisturbed.

ALL EUROPE STARTLED.
Conger's Message Like Voice From
the Tomb.

New York, July 21.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
Mr. Conger's message to state de-
partment came like voice from tomb,
and startled Europe.
One of the best informed men of the
veteran military service said that he ac-
cepted the text of Mr.. Conger's messa ge
as a full and satisfactory proof that the
ministers were alive. When asked how
he could explain the protracted defense
of the inclosure protected by palisade
OF moderate height, he asserted that the
military guards had probably seized a
comm ndng position on the great wall.
where they had held the mobs at bay.
He also was confident that the minis sers
and two men had been transferred by a
secret passage under the wall in to the
imperial city and had been hidden in the
palacc. Another veteran of the consular
service in China informed that while he
could net account for the American MN
isters reputed message, he could not
comprehend how it had been possible for
40 weak and indefensible position as he
Rritish embassy inclosure to be held for
weeks against persistent assaults OF SOL
d;ers armed with artillery, and that he
was reluctantly forced to believe that the
ministers and all refugees had perished.

TAKEN BY SURPRISE.
How Russians Defeated the Chinese
at Blagovestchenski.

New York, July 21.- A special to the
Herald from St. Petersburg says:
The Chinese who attacked Blagovest-
chenski concentrated on the right bank
of the Amur river. They have been sew
erely routed at the village of Sakhakin,
which was burned by the shells of the
Russian guns. The Chinese town of Al
gun has been partly destroyed.
The Russians have occupied all the
important defensive positions on the
right bank of the river, driving the
Chinese out of them.
It appears that the Chinese were quite
taken by surprise. They considered
themselves masters of Blagovestchenski
and never expected an attack from the
Russians in both rear and front, but the
Russian troops carried out the operations
with great brilliancy, killing two thou
sand Chinese and capturing seventeen
guns. At the same time their own losses
were inconsiderable.

sent off long prior to the alleged date Of
the message. This all-absorbing topic is
fully canvassed in its pros and cons but
all theories admittedly present difficulties
which only add to the obscurity of the sit
uation and render the unraveling of the
puzzle harder. . -A
The announcement of the British cruiser
Bonaventure's departure from Woo Sung,
as alleged, in pursuit of Ii Hung. Chang.
comes somewhat as a surprise after the
honors paid the Chinese viceroy at Hong
Kong. but confirmation of the news will
meet the. approval of a large majority, is
Ii Hung Changs present attitude is re-
garded as being Enthusiastically dubi-
GUS. As Ii Hung Chang was booked for
from the nearby port of Woo Sung seems
to indicate suspicion on the part of the
government that his real objective point
may be elsewhere, where he would not be
SO easily reached by the representatives Of
the powers.
The Chinese invasion of Siberia seems to
have been checked SO promptly that prob
ably it will not be continued. 1t is re-
ported from Che Foo that the Internal tional
commanders have concluded that it will be
useless to try to advance on Pekin before
the middle of August.

It was on the morning of July 10th that
General Gribski, having received rein
forcements opened a fierce cannon and
rife fire. Toward the evening the Rus
sian shells set fire to the Chinese vii
lage OF Sakhalin. After a prolonged con-
fict the enemy's artillery fire began to
slacken and they commenced to retire.
The duel for the guns went on more
or less until o'clock in the evening.
Mare Chinese troops having. arrived,
General Gribski saw the necessity of oc-
cupying Aigun and he concentrated
portion OF his force tor that purpose.
There were about - 900 s'h,nsss there
with some artillery. The Russian troops
advanced from the direction of the town
of Nismennaja and commenced the at
tack. The Chinese offered a stout resist
anoe and massed forces Of large bodies
at various points, but today news has
been received that the Russians have oc-
cupied Aigun, where lew days ago the
Chfnese commander, acting on forced
order in the name of the emperor, issued
by Prince Tuan, declared war against
Russia.

CANADIAN CHINESE.
Reform Association is Going to Show
It's Strength.

New York, July 21.-A special to the
Herald from Montreal says:
The Chinese Empire Reform Associa-
tion Of Canada is gaining in numbers
every day. 1t now intends to show it's
strength by a petition to the govern
ments of Great Britain, Germany the
United States and Japan. 1t has been
signed by every Chinaman in the city,
and will be sent all over Canada for sig
natures.
It's prayer is that the governments
mentioned may establish a joint pro-
tectorate over China, to undertake the
emperor, and to prevent the dismember-
ment of the empire. After citing the
causes which have led to the present
trouble the petition says among other
things:
Recently the emperor, Kwang Hsu,
has published message, in which he
proposes that certain of the powers
should aid in reinstating him on the
throne and should declare joint pro-
of the country through the emperor.
"Your association deening it desirable
in the interests of their country and civ
ilization that, the proposals of said mes
sage should be carried into effect did, at
their meeting, held in Vancouver on
June s21, unanimously resolve to do all
in their power to further and secure the
carrying out of the emDeror's ideas as
set forth in the said message, and that a
petition should be addressed to the rep
resentatives of Germany, Great Britain,
the United States and Japan, asking for
their cooperation in establishing the
proposed protectorate and their aid in
preventing the dismemberment of the
Chinese empire

publishes the following from it's Tien Tsin
correspondent, under date of Che Foo, July
l9. via Shanghai July 81:
THE attack on the native city of Tien
Tsin on July 13 resulted in the narrowest
escape from what seemed up to midnight
would be terrible disaster for the allies.
The Russians swinging north and the other
allies south at daybreak, the Russians
were to take the forts near the native city
wall and the other allies the city itself.
General Fukushina, the Japanese COM
mander, promised that the Japanese engi-
neers after three hours shell fire from all
guns, would cross the bridge over the wall,
and, blowing up the great south gate, make
a breach for the infantry to enter.
Upon this depended everything. General
Fukushina had not secuted the bridge and
in "a hours had not secuted the ground over
which the charge on the bridge had to be
made.
1.-THE Chinese destroyed the bridge and
flooded the land around it. The allies shell
fire in nowise subdued the Chinese rifle fire
from the loopholed wall, which was 80 feet
! high with moat ~ feet deep around 1t.

HOW LIsCUM DIED.
Before the two battalions of Amer
| leans, numbering 426 men, could extend
themselves, they were subjected besides
the fire from the loop holes in the forts,
to fierce fire from the embrasures in a
line of fortified mud houses on their
flank. Three thousand rifles probably
We're turned on them with a
accuracy which has amazed every officer
among the allies. The blue shirts of the
American troops made them distinct

tIhe allies could not be seen. Colonel Lis

| down the line, not even ducking his head
while the bullets fell around.
1.-The Americans charged into the flank
fire with rushes. The ground over which
they charged was marshy and lined with
bitches.
1T was evidently Colonel Liscum's in
tention to rush the houses from which
the flank fire was coming and thus get 9
