PEkIY IS AGAIN ALARMED
BOXERS ARE CONCENTRATING

ecuted by the Empress-No Agree
ment Yet.

Pekin, Sept 3.-According to numerous
reports the many thousands of Boxers
who were scattered on the arrival of the
allies are again massing to attack Pekin
these rumors create great uneasiness.
Ching Ma lung and Chang Ii, mem
gers of the tsung Ii yamen, are trying to
with the generals of the allied forces,
through Sir Robert Hart, director of i'm
perial customs, in order to prevent the de-
struction of the innermost palace OF the
forbidden city. With the same object in
View ne Russians have occupied the pal
ace. Resident Americans hope that the
negotiations will not succeed They think
the city ought to be completely destroy
ed: that Ma lung and Chang Lii should be
beheaded, since they formed part of the
cabal which caused the murder of Baron
Won ketteler and attempted to massacre
all foreigners and that no leniency should
be shown, or the next generation OF
Cinnamon will repeat the crime.
Ching Wants to Negotiate.
The Princess Ching states that the
Prince Ching, the prO-forelgn Chinese
leader, wanted to communicate with Gen
eral Chaitee, but was informed by the
general that he would have to at first
confer with the other allied generals, and
would give the prince reply tomorrow
whether the interview would be desirable.
The antiioreign element all followed
| the flight OF the court, Looting continues,
and the Boxers concealed in several diff
ferent sections OF the city still keep up a
desultory fire. The streets are picketed
by the allies troops.
The first German contingent of troops,
1900 in number, will arrive tomorrow.

executed by the empress. They are Hen Tun
member OF the imperial secretariate;
Lii Shan, a friend of the foreigners, and
Ii Yien Yuan. They were put to death
just before the arrival of the allied forces.
There is no government in Pekin. The
japanese and Russians for some unknown
reason still remain outside the innermost
palace of the forbidden city.
The Germans, on the other hand, de-
sire to burn everything and ayenge the
death of Baron Won Ketteler
yesterday was quiet in the section al
lotted to Americans in the southern part
of the city. Its condition is in great
contrast to the other, foreign sections,
where thieving continues. The credit is
due to General Chafiees proclamation for
bidding looting and ofereing fair pay for
provisions.
1T has been ascertained that the posi-
tons held by the legationers during the
siege were undermined by the Boxers and
in few days more the mine would have
been sprung"
