Will Be Needed in South Africa.
LONDON, April l6. Winston ;Ohurch-
ill telegraphs to The. Morning Post from
Bloemfontein unqsssaturday's date re-
iterating his opinion =that the war is
bound to prove an extremely expensive
business He says:
1.-TWO hundred and fifty thousand
men will be needed before the end is
attained. The. question Of remounts
win continue one Of vital Importance.
Great numbers arc now arriving, but
owing to the fact that they have to be
put to work before time is given them
to recover from the effects of the voyage
their condition is low and the death
rate among them high; Thousands.
therefore will be needed in addition to
those now here or on the way and great
resting depots must be formed together
with an ample staff to nurse and exer.
else them. If that is done then about
four or five months hence you will be-
able to give your cavalry a new lease of
tfe and strength.

LONDON, April 17.-Lord Roberts has
spread his net far and wide to catch the
adventurous commanders. that have
been making mischief in the southeast
ern part of the state. The net has not
yet been drawn in, but at the headquar-
tiers of Lord Roberts the impression ex-
lists that the power Of the Beers is de-
creasing. A Daily News correspondent
had them fleeing to the southeast; q
Daily Standard correspondent has them
fee northward; a Daily Telegraph cor
respondent says that some are going
north and others south; while Morn
ing Post representative says it is not
known what the Beers are doing.
Evidently the feeling at Bloemfontein
is that the dispositions of Lord Roberts
are such as to enable him to concentrate

Beers being aware of this are presumed

SHOT THEIR OWN WOMEN.
Chinese Merchants Account OF
Massacre in Pekin.

London. July 20.-The Shanghai cor
respondent of the Daily Express says,
Intense indignation is felt here at
the fonors which the British in Hong
Kong have accorded to Ii Hung Chang.
who is looked upon in Shanghai as the
originator of the whole fiendish anti
foreign plot.
"A Chinese merchant who has just
arrived from Pekin gives horrible de-
tails of the massacre. He says he saw
European women hauled into the street
by shrieking Boxers. who stripped them
and hacked them to pieces. Their dis
severed limbs were tossed to the crowd
and carried off with owls of triumph.
Some were already dead. having been
shot by foreign civilians.
.eHe says he saw Chinese soldiers car
rying the bodies of white children aloft
on their spears, while their companions
shot at the bodies. He gives other de-
tails too horrible to be particularized
here.
"It seems that the Boxer leaders had
organized plan including the offering
of rewards and rich loot for the annihi-
lation of Europeans throughout China
and that Prince Tuan's generals havu
been emphasizing the opportunity the
soldiers have of seizing the bodies OF
white women

DISAGREE.
ALLIED FORCES CoNNor AGREE
ON COMMANDER.
JAPAN DELAYS TROOPS
The Japanese Refuse To Forward
More Troops Unless Allowed to
Choose the Commander.

London, July 21.-Whffe evidence ac-
cumulates daily that China aas long
| been preparing a formidable military
organization in anticipation of the pres
ent conflict. and that the area of rebel
lion is continually extending, harmony
among the allies, which is necessary to
meet such grave condition, is still
deplorably lacking. The Russians have
refused Admiral Seymour's request to
hand over the restored Taku-Tien Tsin
railway to the English company, and
1t is rumored that Germany proposes
taking a serious independent step
namely, to patrol the Yangtze Kiang
with German men of war. Such step
would be greatly resented by England.
Still more alarming news has been
conveyed to the Daily Express from
Toxic to the effect that the apparent
reluctance of Germany and Russia
to consent to a Japanese commander
for the army corps has led the Japan
csc government to delay the forwarding
of the division already mobilized.
WAR AGAINST CIVILIZATION.
The Standard, in an alarmist editor
ial, says: ''It is useless to any longer
hide from ourselves the fact that China
has declared war on civilization and
has plunged into the conflict with rabid
whether hostilities are being waged
by the Chinese government, inasmuch
as it is evident that an administration
of some kind exists and is directing the
anti-fOreign movement. Unless unmis-
taxable evidence exculpating the Pekin
government is promptly forthcoming
the powers should treat China as bel
ligerent state and act accordingly"
A similar line of comment is taken by
the other morning papers. All applaud
the course of Count Won Bulow, the
German foreign secretary, in stopping
cipher kilograms from the Chinese lega-
tion in Berlin, and all urge the other
powers to follow Germanys example.
DESIRES BLOOD OF FOREIGNERS.
The first Boxer proclamation has
made it's appearance in Shanghai 1t
declares that Kwan, the war god, de-
sires the blood of foreigners and threat
ems ten plaques if the Boxer tenets are
not followed and spread.
The governors of the provinces of Hu
Nan, Hu Pi, and Ho Nan have now
openly joined Prince Tuan and are
marching overland with their armies to
Pekin.
A German relief column. sent into the
interior of the province of Shantung TO
endeavor to rescue a party of thirty
issionaries-German. American and
English-has returned without having
obtained any tidings of their where
abouts. and it is feared that all have
been slain.
