LACK OF AMMUNITION.
Not Sufficient supply for American
Guns in China.

Not Sufficient supply for American
Guns in China.
II was denied al the War Department
today that the American forces now in
China, or ea route there. are Improperly
armed and equipped. On che contrary. it
Is held THAI no United States troops were
ever so well equipped and armed. and that
few Of the foreign powers have so care
fully looked after these detail as has this
country.
The only complaint made or ackaowIedg-
ed IS that there Is great lack OF artiI-
lery and artillery ammunition. and there
seems TO Se 80 immediate hope OF having
the supply raised. The small stock Of sup
plies at Manila has already been nearly
exhausted by the Chinese expeditions. and
in case Of serious trouble In China the
United States would be placed in the DO
sition OF nr;ion with troops az the scene
n action and a supply Of modern fed
guns, but minus ammunition with which
TO Use them.
II is acknowledged that al present there
IS less than 1000 rounds OF ammunition
ior each OF the Maxim guns 10 be placed
In the field in China and in case OF a
t--o "o1lu lOs 4aSA very long.
Inc Manila depot has been laid bare by
the demands made and no supplies have
oeen sent from this country. The reason
given for this is that the Board os Ord
nance has for a month been haEgling over
the price Of powder and Tefases to pur-
chase or give orders
That there Is an abundance OF rifle am
munition is due to the efforts Of General
Miles. who saw TO it that this was pur-
chased in enormous quantities as soon as
he anticipated trouble in China.

LONDON. July IA despatch of tod s
date received from Shanghai is regarded
as putting at rest all doubts concerning
the fate OF the foreigners in Pekin.
Director Of Railways and Telegraphs
Sheng has communicated with the con-
suls at Shanghai. In his message, Sheng
announces that all the foreigners at the
capital have been murdered. Sheng lays
the blame on the anu-foreign general,
Tung-fuh Slang. The message says that
Tung. enraged by the defence made at the
British Legation in Pekin, where the for
elgners had concentrated to resist the ia
natlcs. ordered the heavy guns to fire on
the buildings. The legation was demOl-
ished and 2 fire broke out in the ruins. This
resulted in the annihilation of the for
eigners.
While the message from Sheng has not
thus far been confirmed by advices from
other sources. # is generally accepted as
true Sheng is in position to receive
early and accurate tidings and it has
been believed all along that he possessed
information concerning the actual happen
ings in PelSin.
The fate Of all the ministers is now re-
garded as settled. England is convinced
that not only has everyone connected with
The legations perished but that thousands
of the native Christians have been mall
treated and massacred by the anti-foreiga-
ers in Pekin.
-~~sos without news from Tien-
tsin, the alarm for the foreIguvrs -, d.
city increases correspondingly. It is fer
ed that the disaster at Pelin will be re-
peated in Tientsin unless re-enforcements
are in some way hurried through to a.d
the international troops who have for days
been desperately fighting for their lives.
So far as can be learned. the allies at
Taku seem to be doing nothing More or
less mystery surrounds their apparent
lethargy, and it is feared that the bicker-
ings as to leadership and other military
questions are becoming more heated, re-
sulting in delay that is more than COS Iy
20 the besieged in Tfentsin and the for
eigners thrOugout the Empire.
The only encouraging news received to-
day from Taku is an official despatch. COM
ing by way of St Petersburg, which an
nounces that the telegraph line betwe n
Taku and Tientsin has been restored. Thi,
is gratifying, for the reason that it irdi-
Gates that the allies may be forcing trocps
in the direction of the beleaguered CITY.
and that these advancing detachments are
repairing the line of te,egraphic communi-
cation
despatch from Hongkong of yester-
days date says Ii Hung Chang has re-
ceived an urgent telegram summon!rg him
TO Peilin. 1t is reported that he will start
for the north tomorrow.
The Foreign OfHce has issued a telegram
from the British Consul at Shanghai re-
peating the message from the Governor ~
shantung that the legations were being
boinbarded on July Z. The Consul ex-
presses fear that there can be little doubt
as to III" fate Of the foreigners at Pekin.

OFFICIALS INDIGNANT AT WI.
Chinese Minister'S Criticisms of the
Powers Excite Con.meut

Much indignant comment was heard at
the State Department this morning on the
interview given out yesterday by Minister
Wa, which was published IN The Times,
and in which the Chinese representative
blamed the foreign powers for The seri-
BUSINESS OF the conditions in China.
In that interview Dir. Wa said the jeaI-
ousies OF the powers was the cause of the
failure Of the allied troops 10 rescue the
foreigners in Pekin; that foreigners ia the
capital aggravated the trouble originally;
that the soldiers Of the allied forces were
no good, and that he himself, although not
a military man. was confident that with an
army of 2o.ct0 men he could haze fought
his way TO Pekin.
He also intimated that the foreign pow
ers had started the trouble in China for
their own purposes and had then deIib-
eTately left the ministers 10 their tate.
Il was suggested at the department that
Minister Wa might be expelled from the
country for his undiplomatic language
