THE Russian general in command OF

Of Saturdays heavy fighting and
marching. that one days rest for the

WASHINGTON. June 27.-The devel-
opments OF today respecting China We're
important and interesting. The Chi
nese minister's report OF the departure
Of the foreign ministers and their
guards from Pekin greatly relieved the
officials here. who took Il as the first
tangible evidence that the Imperial
Chinese government had full reallza-
tion OF the enormity OF permitting the
ministers TO come to personal harm and
were thus undertaking, as far as lay
In their power to observe the amnes-
ties Of an International exchange.
The keenest interest is shown by Of
flcials TO learn the condition under
which the ministers left Pekin. Min
lister Wu's dispatch was ominously ST.
lent on that point, and, though the
minister, himself. maintains almost OBJ
stinetely his confidence in the non-ex-
lstenoe Of state OF war. Il is gem
orally admitted that It will be difficult
TO accept his conclusion II It shall
transplre that the Pekin government
Itself has sent the ministers away with
their passports, or what may come
to the same thing, with a guard as
a guarantee of safe conduct.
At the state department 1t is said that
II it shall be explained that the i'm
perial government did this, not with
the purpose Of rupturing diplomatic
relations, but simply to ensure the
safety of the ministers, which they
were unable to guarantee as long as
they remained In Pelsin, then there is
still ground for an understanding.
WASHINGTON, June 97.-The fol-
lowing cablegram was received at the
navy department late this afternoon:

Navy, Washington; Pekin force and
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1900-06-28


LONDON, June 2T.-The cable mes
sages from the Far East today are so
far conflicting in their tenor that al
most any desired view Of the situation
is deduclble therefrom. On the whole,
however. the news is encouraging. and
II Is safe to assume that yice-Admiral
Seymour and the Legations, whether to-
gether or separately. will ultimately
reach a place OF safety.
Various reports locate the legislation
ers at diverse plaees. but 1t seems
agreed that they are safely away from
Pekin.
Latest Shanghai reports say Prince
Tuan (head OF the Chinese foreign Of
fico. and father Of the heir apparently
has sent the legatloners TO Slang Flu
under escort and adds that Slang Flu
viii be the new capital In the event
OF Pekin being occupied by the inter-
national troops.
Admiral Seymour, 1t is asserted, sue
ceeded in getting a message into Tien
Tsln Monday, according to which he
was then eight miles west Of there,
terribly harassed, could only hold out
another two days. and had 6S killed and
over 200 wounded. He did not mention
the ministers or others from Pekin.
II is thought at Shanghai that now
Tien Tsln is relieved the combined in
ternational forces will have no diff
Guilty In reaching Pekin. though II is
expected 1t will be found that all the
foreigners have already left. 1t is
claimed that the reports as to dam
age done at Tien Tsln and the cas-
ualties among the foreign forces have
been highly colored.
The exodus of Chinese from Shanghai
Is uEabated. Every steamer is throng-
ed and the authorities have been
obliged to resort to the use of the fire
hose to prevent the fugitives from over
crowding the vessels. The commander
Of the British first-class cruiser I'm
daunted, however, has landed large
supplies Of rides and ammunition, and
guns have been placed in position at
commanding points. with the result
that the foreigners are confident they
can overcome any attack on the set
tlement into which the foreigners from
the outstations are rapidly congre-
eating.
According to a dispatch from New
chwang, the Russians there are barely
able to cope with the situation. The

consul-generaI at Shanghai. telegraph
ing under date Of yesterday, announces
that the allied troops have entered
Tien Tsin. He states also that the
foreign ministers have departed from

they are headed for Shanghai Kouan,
following the course Of the great wall.
The telegram adds that the viceroy
OF Kan Kin and the viceroy Of Tiehenh-

to announce to the French government
that they are protecting the interests

Of the foreign merchants IN that region.
