Refugees who have arrived from Tien
Tsin bring the following information:
The Chinese resumed the bombardment
of the foreign quarters last Tuesday and
non -combatants were ordered that day
to leave. The onbartment lis described
as the worst yet experienced but there
were no civilian casualties, though many
marvellous escapes are reported. A force
of British and Russians tried to silence
the Chinese guns, but retired without
effecting their object. Two gums from
the Terrible silenced the Chinese guns
on Thursday, but the artillery duel rec
commended on Friday.
Two hundred refugees mostly women
and children left Thursday and Friday
in lighters towed by launches and
reached Taku safely. Small bodies of
Russians and Japanese were met at
short intervals all the way down. Sew
eral burning bridges were passed. They
are supposed to have been set on
fire by Russians, who occupy fort
midway between Tien Tsin and Taku
where they have a torpedo boat. Seven
hundred Russians are occupying the rail-
way and station at Tong Ku. Japanese
troops were landing at Taku. The York
town took 25 American refugees on board.
The Germans went aboard German war
ship, while the British were transferred to
the Hahn Chi and the Hal Loong. The
former has reached Che Foo with SO refu-
gees on the way to. Shanghai. The latter
with $50 is proceeding to Nagasiki. The
British cruiser Alacrity called at Che Foo
more guns for Tien Tsin, which is weak in
artillery. The immediate ooject of the
allies is to take the native city and stop
the bombardment and "sniping."

BOXERS ARE WEAKENING.
That Is the View Now Taken in
London.

New York. July 10.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
While there is no light there is sense
or departing darkness in China. The
southern viceroys, who have taken line
OF action of their own, understand what
Is going on both in Pekin and in Europe
and are not in sympathy with Prince
Tuan and the Boxers. They have been
waiting for a counter movement against
the military usurpation and now that
reaction has set in against massacres
and revolution they are asserting their
authority and sending to the palace in
formation respecting the armaments of
the foreign powers and the combined
forces of the civilization which Prince
Tuan and the empress have defied.
If little trustworthy news comes out
from Pekin 1T does not follow that a good
deal of truth and common sense are not
going in through the foreign consulates
and provincial centers For this reason
some of the best Informed men in and
out of parliament are now convinced that
the legations will be spared and that a
truce will be ordered from the palace and
the China question adjusted by diplo-
matte means. Neither official nor press
dispatches warrant this conclusion, but
there are hopeful signs in several quar-
. ters of the clouded sky.
The empress dOwager is evidently play
ing off Prince Ching against Prince Tuan,
and throwing out AN anchor to wind
ward. This is a fact which impresses the
diplomatists here They read with COM
posure the details of the desperate fight
ing at Tien Tsin and the repulse of the
Chinese attacks upon the allied troops
They assert that skirmishes in which
casualties to Americans and Europeans
are OF no account when there is practical
evidence that the Chinese forces are di-
vided and that the legations are allowed
to hold their ground. Belated details of
! the fighting ait Tien Tsin are conflicting
and urltrustworthy, but there are many
, signs that the anti-foreign movement is
wea kening, that the allied forces are pre-
pairing to make a successf'-f advance
uron the capitol and that the diplomat
I lists in European capitals are vast
! ing their time but are doing useful work
in a most practical way.

A CHINESE VIEW,
Cost Of The Boxer Trouble and Its
Result

Chicago, July 10.-Some Chicapo China
men are beginning to receive letters and
papers, the first news from home, of the
trouble now existing i'm the northern pro-
vinces of their native land. One Of the
most intelligent celestials in Chicago is
in receipt of a letter from his brother,
who is an officer in the Chinese navy.
Although the letter was written several
weeks ago, at the first outbreak of trou-
bic, much that was written as to what
would probably take place has transpired
In regard to the contents of the letter,
he said:
"That thebloodiest war known in it's
history is now breaking in China, I have
no doubt. The man who is now in charge
of the military affairs in the region where
the Boxers abound is we'll versed in the
ants of modern warfare. Before this war
ends I wouldn't be surprised if 100000
Chinamen We're killed: How many for
eignerS will meet death cannot cOnjec-
ture, but the number will be great. Ever
since the Chinese learned a lesson from
Japan they have been training them
selves in the arts of warfare. They have
as fine gums as any government and we'll
trained men behind them.
my brother writes me that the great
majority of Chinese in the southern pro-
vinces are against the ruling powers and
the Boxers. There is a large class in
China called pensioners, VINO Will be with
the government and as they are we'll
trained soldiers, they will surely do ter
rible execution.
II would like to see the trouble set
tiled without war, but If it must come it
will be good thing for the future of
China. The ignorant Cinnamon are of
the belief that the missionary is sent
there to rob him of his land, and conse-
uuently this war will be for the home.
The Chinaman has seen where Russia,
France and Germany have taken parts
of their country and taxes greatly In
creased under European rule. He is go
ing. to fight for his home and his life and
he will not fight with knives or swords,
as a great many people suppose The
Chinaman is slow to anger, but when
once aroused nothing can stop him.
"China needs change, a good religion
to sweep away all those old superstitions.
/ believe the day is not far distant when
the southern pant of China at least will
be Christianized."

SURPRISE AT LONDON.
The Lightning Changes in China Prove
Bewildering.

London, July 10.-Chinese official
sources furnish another surprise today in
announcing that the dowager empress,
who had been reported within two weeks
dead, fled, poisoned and hopelessly mad,
has resumed the reins of power The
date is given as June 30, the same on
which the wholesale massacre of for
eigners is alleged to have occurred. The
telegram of Sheng, the administrator of
telegraphs and railroads, to the Chinese
minister at Washington, Wu Ting Fang,
says the imperial government is pro-
tecting the legations appears to fit in
with the dispatch from Shanghai of this
morning, particularly with reference to
the alleged directions given by the dow
ager empress relative to the protection
Of foreigners AT the same time people
continue to ask why, if the legations are
protected, the ministers are not per-
mtted to communicate with the outer
world. Sheng's expressed fear that the
food and ammunition of the legations are
exhausted are counteracted by the news
that Prince Ching, the commander of
the Manchu field forces, is revictualng
them, besides which it is now known
that in the last resort there are avail
able for food several hundred ponies,
usually kept within the walls of the
British legation. Meantime, according
to the legation of Japan here, the jap
anese by means share the general opin-
ion that the advance OF Pekin must be
indefinitely delayed. The officials assere
that the Japanese have no intention of
halting at Taku or Tien Tsin, but pro-
pose to advance on Pekin during the
present week. Their military author1-
ties express he opinion that 20, 900 of their
troops. in addition to the international
forces already available, will suffice to
force an entry into the Chinese capital.
Emperor William dispatched the Ger
man warship Bussard from Kiel for
China this morning, while the German
cruisers Geier and Seeadler have been
ordered to proceed to China as rapidly as
possible from their American and Aus
t1-alian stations, respectively.
1t has been learned by the Associated
Press that the Chinese legation here,
though apparently unable to communi-
cate directly with Pein, Is getting news
from there indirectly. The officials OF
the legation declare the present trouble
DIS entirely the work of Primo Tuan and
that the government the doWager en-
press and the Chinese generlly are
against the uprising. The officials also
say they have reason to hope that the
situation ait Pekin is improving and that
Prince Ching will succeed in protecting
the foreigners. They secuted the stories
Of the massacre of the people in the lega-
tjons and the poisoning of the emperor and
dowager empress, and express the OPINION
that Prince Ching and the local viceroys
could best be assisted by the promise OF
help in the formation OF strong govern
ment. ...-@..-

BACKED BY GOVERNMENT.
An Austrian Describes Situation in
China Last May.

San Francisco, July 10.-Horace Herr
fielder of Vienna. Austria. an engineer
and newspaper correspondent, has ar
rived here after a ten-weeks' tour
through China
II was in Pekin on May 26. 81 and 49,"
said he, land at that time there was no
local trouble with the Boxers. As for
the Chinese soldiers .tlhey are absolutely
the most coMardly men have ever en-
countered. A mere stamp of the foot and
a threatening wave of the arms are suf-
dcient ito scatter a band of thirty i'm
perial soldiers.
Every one in China knows that the
government is behind the Boxers. That
was the sentiment I heard expressed
every where. The governmnt does not
openly support tn movement; it let's tine
Boxers go on and shuts it's eyes. 1 was
in Pekin THAT government off,
cials had been near by at the massacre
of native Christians in the interior and
had turned their heads that they might
not bear witness to a deed which they
took no steps to prevent.
while was in Pelin a lady from one
the streets by mob. She was riding in
a Sedan chair, when "a lot of coarse fel-
lows closed in around her and subjected
her to the most offensive phrases known
in the Chinese lanEMage. 1t had to come
to such pass that the foreigners did
not venture out from the residences or
limited their promenades to legation
street. The Chinese had disagreeable
way of closing in on man in the street
and barring his way. They would press
up close and feel of a fellows coat and
of his handh and face.
II had a conference with the French
Catholic bishop in Pekin., He was the
only one in the foreign settlement that
expressed genuine apprehension for the
safety of Europeans and native. Chris
tians. He told me that there are. all told,
about 1S0 Europeans in Pekin. There are
between sixty and eighty Thousand Chin
ese Catholics in Pekin. They are the peo-
pie who are In danger from the Boxers,
proba bly, as much as are the Europeans.
There are four Chinese Catholic churches
in Pekin.

1t seems to me that the thrush of the

uprising but they will remain there
