SAYS "GOD IS WITH U.s."
Admiral Dewey Talks of the Position the
United States Must Assume in Pres
ent Chinese Trouble.

Washington, June 16.-Admiral
Dewey, commenting on the present
situation in China, said:
The situation in China I regard as
very serious one-very serious indeed
can only see one outcome as a result
of the conflict now in progress in China,
and that is the adoption of the American
policy in favor of open ports for Amer
lean commerce on equal terms with all
the other commercial nations of the
world. 1t must come to that eventually,
and 1t is fortunate that we are in a po-
sition to say to the nations of Europe,
1--WE are in this deal, gentlemen"
This would not have been possible had
1t not been for the result of the Spanish
war. 1t seems that God is with us in
making it possible to have at this moment
the largest army of men and the most
formidable fleet of ships right on the spot
to enforce our rights and see that Amer
lean interests are protected. Not only
have we an army of over $4,000 trained
soldiers at the very gate of the orient,
but we are the only nation that has gun
boats on the Yang-Tse-Kiang river. 1t
seems like special dispensation of Prov
ldence for us to have two of our gun
boats which are capable of navigating
these waters on the spot undergoing
minor repairs.

The Bolivar bulletin. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1946, 1900-06-22

LONDON, June Is, 3 a. .m.-There is not
cabinet in Europe apparently that
knows what has been transpiring in
Pekin for five days or in Tien Tsin for
three days. Nor is there any that
knows what difficulties the small and
inadequately equipped international
column is contending between those
cities. The German foreign office, upon
learning of the murder of Baron Won
Kettler, the German minister at Pekin,
sent telegraphic inquiry to st. Peters
burg, the Russian government, because
of its wires to Manchuria, being sup
posedly in better position than the
other governments to obtain direct
news. In reply the German foreign
Office was informed that nothing what
ever was known on the subject. as COM
munication with Pekin was interrupted.
The report, spread worldwide from
Shanghi, that the legations had been
attacked and that one minister, prob
ably the German, had been murdered,
has been traced to Tao Tai Sheng, who
for few days, as the empress dowager's
agent, has been censoring kilograms
from Shanghai. The Shanghai cor
respondent of the Daily Express says:
''Sheng, as head of the telegraph ad-
ministration, pretended that the line
connecting Shanghai with Pekin had
been down since June 9, and that the
wires to Tien Tsin were cut on June 15.
Nevertheless, it is notorious that con-
slant communications have been pass
ing from Shanghai to Pekin over the
northern and western routes, although
Sheng has refused both ministers and
consuls the privilege of using lines. 1t
is known that last Friday Sheng re-
ceived a message from either Pekin or
Tien Tsin. This dispatch said Gen.
Tung Fuh Siang's troops aided the
Boxers in an organized attack on the
foreign legations, and that in the course
of the attack some of the legation
buildings were reduced to ruins, and
that one foreign minister was sliced to
pieces"
Why in the cables it should have been
added that the murdered minister was
Baron Won Kettler is not explained.
According to- another telegram from
Shanghai, dated June II, at 7:25 pm.
Sheng has fed, fearing that the foreign
authorities were about to arrest him
because of his stoppage of kilograms.
A third telegram asserts that the re-
ports of the murder of the German min
lister emanated from London, are quite
and are discredited at
THE German minister has been cap
tured," is the announcement to the
Morning Post from Pekin a dispatch,
dated June 13, pm. via Tien Tsin,
This is the latest press mes
sage known to have left Pekin. - con-
tinues as follows:
1.-The Boxers hold the officials of Tung
Chau for redemption. Anarchy reigns
at that place. The Americans in the
of the two neigh boring prov
inces have been advised to leave, but
several have no means of doing so. I'm
less relief force is sent there is dan
ger of massacre of native Christians.
A large native army is ready to oppose
the relief column on the way here. The
Chinese government can not decide
to adopt the policy of rigldly
the Boxers or that of de-
flying the world. The decision rests
with the dowager empress"
