Pekin. June 1.-THE American and
other foreign guards, numbering N9.
arrived here in the midst of the dragon
crowded, and tho the people We're
greatly interested in the annual spec
tacle, no manifestation OF hostility was
made The presence OF the guards al
ready has marked effect upon. the
bearing of the Chinese towards for
eigners. Excitement in the adjacent
country is mucn allayed, but many
Christian refugees are still focking to
moving afield. Unfortunately no lead
lers of the Boxers We're arrested, tho
their capture would have been easy.

(. to occupy the scenes of disturbances
and no real repressive measures have
4 been taken.

4 sui has received information from
priests at Pao Ting Flu that thirty for-
eigners, including six ladies and
i child, who We're attempting to escape

were attacked by over 700 Boxers,
4 armed with rifles and spears. Many of
the foreigners are wounded. Four
4 we're killed, but the fate OF the remain
4 der of the party is unknown. Having
q little ammunition, however. 1t is con-
. sidered Impossible that they could hold
lout against their assailants.

. ager mas ordered the governor OF Shan
Si to arrest Lin. Chinese manager of
the Pekin syndicate; Kia, chief OF the
Shan 81 commercial bureau; Fan, q
leading banker on the ground that

i realty because they are connected with
