Army of China Leaves Pekin to Meet the Re
lief Forces That Are Now
En- Route
Negotiations Between the United States and Ii
Hung Chang Are Now Broken
Off for Time.

LONDON, Aug. (4:35 a. m.).-No word
comes this morning regarding the for
tunes of the comparatively small body
Of troops believed to be forging their
way to Pekin. The silence Is probably
Que to ,diligent censorship rather than TO
any lack of developments.
A Shanghai special announces the re-
ceipt of an official telegram from the
tsung ii yamen asserting that the minis
ters were all well on July 80, and that
vegetables, fruits and other supplies had
been sent to the legations on several oc-
casions.
Friendly intercourse, the official tel
gram continues, lis now being carried
on between the ministers and the i'm
perial authorities.
According to the Daily Express, how
ever, cables from Che Foo announce
that imperial troops advancing to meet
the foreign relief force, wiped out
Christian town near Pckin, killing five
foreign priests and 10000 native Chris
tians.
Gen. Gasalee, so says this correspond
ent, was strongly opposed to an imme-
date advance, but he was overruled by
the other commanders, and influenced by
Washington's order to Gen. Chaffee to
proceed without an instants delay"
MISSIONARIES MURDERED
From Shanghai the Daily Express has
received confirmation of the reported
murder of fifty missionaries in the prov
lnce of Shen 81, with the additional in
formation that eight English women
were dragged out of the mission build
lngs by a Chinese mob, who beheaded
them in the streets of Chu Chou. French
troops are reported to have occupied
Meng Tsze in the province Of Yum Nan.
;, The Tien Tsin correspondent of the
Standard says:
"A heartrending letter has been re-
cetved from the Japanese legation, dated
July 22, stating that the casualties num-
Der 90 per cent, that only twenty-five
cartridges per man are left, with suffi-
cient food for five days only, and that it
is feared the legation will succumb with
in a week"
Mr.. Broderick's statement In the house
of commons yesterday placing Great
Britain on record as unalterably opposed
TO the partition of China is we'll received
by all the morning papers, which, for
lack of other news, chiefly devote their
comments to DR.. Morrisons remarkable
message to the Times, cabled yesterday
to the United States.
The Berlin correspondent of the Daily
Chronicle who reported Emperor Will
iam's extraordinary sermon of Sunday
On board the Hohenzollern, says some of
the most striking sentences attributed
to the kaiser are the following:
WILLIAMS FIGHT TALK
"Once again the heather spirit of the
Amalekites is raised in distant Asia,
with pomp and cunning, With destluc-
ton and murder it will dispute the way
to European trade and European culture
it will dispute the victorious march of
Christian customs and Christian faith.
And again is heard Gods command:
Choose us out men and go to fight
Amalek. A hot and sangunary strug-
gle has begun. Already a number of our
brethren are over there under fire.
Many more are travelling along hostile
coasts.
You have seen them, the thousands,
who to the call Of volunteers to the front,
who will guard the empire, have as
sembled themselves to battle with vic
toriOus banners. We who remain at
home are bound by other sacred duties.
Woe unto US If we remain slothful and
sluggish while they are engaged in their
0lrncult and bloody work. And If from
our place of security we only curiously
look on While they wrestie in battle.
Not only should we mobilize bat
talions Of troops, but we should also,
and shall, set in motion an army of
trained people to beg and entreat for our
brethren that they may strike into the
wild chaos with sword in hand May
they strike for our most sacred possess
sions. We would pray that God the
Lord would make heroes of our men ard
lead those heroes to victory and that
then with laurels On their helmets and.
orders on their breasts He may lead them
home to the land of their fathers.
"Our fight will not be finished in one
day, but let not our hands grow weary
or sink until victory is secured Let our
prayers be as wall of fire around the
camp Of our brethren. Eternity will re-
veal the fulfllment of an old promise;
Call upon me in trouble and l will de-
liver thee Let us pray continuously"
