London, July 3O.-At last the British
government is convinced that the min.

were regarded with certain amount
of doubt. But once the British consul
at Tien Tsin officially confirmed them,
all doubts vanished. In the house of
commons the parliamentary secretary
for the foreign Office, Mr.. William ST.
John Frederick, read the dispatch from
the British consul at Tien Tsin, say
ing that the foreign ministers at Pc
king were safe July %. Sir Broderick
also read dispatch in which the state
ment was made that strong body OF
troops, composed almost entirely Of
Hwang- Sus was around the legations,
and that the Chinese were forced to
block the river with sunllen craft,
with a breach on the left bank, in Or
der to flood the country to the east
ward. Mr.. Broderlck added that the
council of admirals decided, July 16,
that the railroad between Taku and
Tien Tsin should be guarded and man
aged by the Russians. The govern"
ment has informed Russia it acquiesc.
ed, as the arrangement might be the
most convenient, but that 1t must be
clearly understood that the line would
revert to its former management, that
is, the British, on termination of hos
tilities. Mr.. Broderick added that he
did not yet know who was to have su-
preme command
