Information has come from several
sources that Prince Ching, head of the
Chinese Foreign Office, has taken issue
WITH Prince Tuan, the Boxer leader,
III Fekin and is protecting the lega-
LIONS there with imperial Chinese
troops. Prince CHING is practically, it
is SAID, at the head of a counter revO.
luton. This fact has led to renewed
hopes that the legations may vet be
rescued.
! Secretary Hay had conference with
| hussian, French and Chinese represen
1 tatlves, and it is reported that Russia
ana france expressed willingness to al
low Japan free hand in quelling the
Boxer disturbances 1t is also under
stood that an Agreements has been
reached relating to territorial acuuisi- |
lions.
OGher statements are that powers |
nave consented to permit Japan to |
send as many troops as it desires to re-
store order in China. The terms of |
the agreement have not been made
made public. but it is understood that
Japan is not to take advantage of it's
sGrength to acquire exclusive rights in
Cnlnese territory. London diplomats
suggest that Japan may be REIN burSed
Dy permitting it to garrison Cores. 1t
IS believed that Russia would not con
sent to this.
Ihere has been renewed fighting at
1lentsin, according to Chefoo dis
patches. The Chinese forces have

natants have been ordered to leave.
Foreigners are taking refuge on war;

The Empress Dowager, SO far from
being dead, is actively striving to pre-
vent the factions fighting. Prince I
Iuan Is quite willing that Ching should G
De decapltated, but the DOwager EN- i
press will not allow this. Prince Tuan 9
has decided that he will take full re- q
sponslbillty. He proposes to retake v
Ffentsin and Taku."
London has advices from ChefOo that b
he fighting around Tientsin July 8 a
md was the hottest yet experienced.
Tie British forces had 30 men killed. f
Chinese troops numbering. it is said. n
