LONDON. July l3.-4:1o A Ma terri
bls Veil still enshrouds Pekin, and there IS
nobody tu. who believes that the worst has
happened L is taken for granted that all
me Powers have exhausted every means 10
get direct news from their legations, and
tho fact that their efforts have been vain
leaves but one Interpretation.
The Chinese Minister in Berlin denies
the statement tlat Ii Hung Chang has
sent 10 him a hopeful telegram. He says
that on the contrary no direc; telegram had
been rec4ipcd by him from Ii Hung
Chang for some time past.
The days news is gain restricted TO the
usual crop of untrustworthy Shanghai ru-
mors. the most serious Of which, reported
by the correspondent of the Express. is to
the effect that Europeans are directing
the Chinese military operations
The correspondent asserts that Captain
Baiiey. OF IL NJ S. Aurora, distinctly saw
a man in European garb directing the
Chineses artillery operations outside Of
Tien Tsin.
Foreign refugees from Tien Tsin openly
accuse a European official whose name the
EXPRESS correspondent Suppresses, and
Colonel von Haneken, who was formerly
employed 10 drill the Chinese troops, of
being parties TO a plot TO procure the es-
cape of General Chang and themselves
from Tien Tsfn before the hombardmsnt,
leaving the other foreigners to their fate.
INDISCRIMINATE SLAUGHTER
Statements are in circulation in Shan
ehai accusing the Russians of ind!scriini-
nate slaughter of friendly Chinese non
combatauts without regard 10 sex or age
The manager Of a Chinese steamship
company who has arrived in Shanghai
asserts that he only escaped from Tfen
Tsin by cutting off his queue and don
ming European clothes.
1t is stated that the Taotai of Tien Tsin
protested against the Russian slaughters.
News is circulated throughout the Yang
Use Valley that General Ma has inflicted
q crushing defeat upon the allies at Iien
T-sin and that the foreign army has been
cut to pieces east of Pelin The actual
Importance OF the movement OF the allied
forces naturally gives color TO these
stories with the worst results.
The Shanghai correspondent of the EX-
press gives Tien Tsin advices TO July Sth,
when the superior range OF the japanese
artillery enabled them to relieve the Rus
slams, who were hard pressed at the rail-
way station.
