No Importance Is Attached TO Decree
EmanatlnG From the Chinese.
Official circles in Berlin, Germany,
attach little Importance to the commu-
nication of the Chinese minister at
Washington, dated June Goth. At
best it is interpreted as an attempt to
gloss over the recent outrageous deeds.
A number of statements made in it are
declared to be VIGOROUSLY false, such
as for instance, the representations
regarding Baron Won Ketteler's death
and the Taku seizure.
The main objection urged in Berlin
is that nobody knows whose govern
ment it is which the statement repre-
sents-whether the government of the
downger empress and Kwang Hsu or
that of Prince Tuan. The document
bears date of June goth, and nobody
knows what government, if any, has
since succeeded,

GOOD WORK AT TEN TsIN.
Admiral Selymour's dispatchs give
the latest news regarding the situation
at Tien Tsin. kilograms to the Asso-
ciated Press show that the operations
on July 18th were a brilliant success.
The japanese cavalry and a mobile
mounted battery did splendid work.
1t was unfortunate that the allies did
not have more cavalry to purse the
flying enemy. -Four hundred Chinese
were killed and six guns captured. At
noon the settlements were again Wei
ously shelled from the native city and
the hospitals and other buildings we're
repeatedly hit, The moral effect of
the successes of the allied forces upon
the Chinese is believed to be very
great.
RUSSIAN ENVOY BOILED TO DEATH.
A dispatch to The Chicago Record
from st. Petersburg, July II, via
Paris, July IA, says: The czar has
received with great emotion the dread
full details of the catastrophe at Pekin.
Tears coursed down his maiesty's
cheeks as he read the cablegram from
Admiral Alexietf, at Port Arthur, con-
firming the horrible details of the
assassination of M. DeGiers, which
merely confirms rumors that had al
ready reached Russia.
The admiral declares that the Rus
sian envoy was dragged through the
streets by the Boxers, insulted, beaten
and tortured, and even thrown into a
great kettle and boiled to death. Then
the remains were thrown to the dogs.
While NJ. DeGiers was being disposed
of, the fanatical mob danced around
the caldron.
Nine, DeGiers, Admiral Alexieff's
advices declare, suffered a fate worse
than death and was beaten and tor
tured with sharp sticks until life was
extinct.
The legation officials are said to
have been tortured fendishly until
death ended their sufferings. NJ. De
Giers and his legation officials resisted
desperately and his brave body guard
killed many of the attacking mob. In
the midst of his tortures the envoy is
said to have heroically proclaimed his
faith in Christianity, encouraged by
the wife who so soon shared his mar
tyrdom,
The announcement of this intelli-
gence to the relatives of the Russian
martyrs in China was accompanied by
heartrending scenes.

Cablegram From Sheng at Shang-

Seemingly EvaSive Terms.

Such news as reached Washington
Sunday from China was distinctly

Shanghai, and, according to the min

that official asking him to try to secure
some news from the Chinese capital.
This cablegram Mr.. WI regarded as
of sufficient Importance to carry in
person to Secretary Hay, who was
waiting at his home for news. The
message as resolved from the cipher
was as follows:
"Pekin news of July 7th says that
General Tuan Fuh Slang, in disobedi-
ence of imperial orders, was about to
use guns. Legations and the govern
ment will be in peril"
There still remains a suspicion that,

may know more of the actual happen.

he does so because he knows that when
