The Outcome of Advance OF Allies
Awaited AnxiOusIy.
CBy Associated Press.)

LONDON, August ii a. MA sensa-
tional Shanghai correspondent still hints
that the Chinese are juggling with dates,
but there are very few in London who do
not believe the dispatches genuine and re-
liable.
Without doubt the ministers are held by
the Chinese as hostages, and the outcome
of the advance on Peldn, which IN all
probability has already begun, will be
awaited with intense anxiety.
To-day's dispa tches show that the allies.
notably the Japanese, have been pushing
their preparn tons with feverish haste. or
gan!z.ng a service of pack carts, trains
and junks It is reported from Berlin that
Northumberland Won Lessel COM
manding the German force in China. has
been selected as commander-in-chief OF
the allied forces.
The Chinese nre strongly entrenched at
Wang Tsun. from which position, how
ever, 1t is believed they can be elected
without great difficulty.
The feeling of the newspapers here is
that nothing should delay the advance.
The latest advices from Tien-1sin an
nounce that the Russians and japanese
are scouting in the direction of Ifetung.
The Japanese commander. Yamat huch:,
expects Yang Tsun to be taken within
three days
The Governor of Shan Tung says the
British Consul's message was sent TO Sir
Claude Macdonald, whose reply was hnnd-
ed to the Tsuns Lii Lyman July 18th.
A special dispatch from Tien-Tsin says
the missionaries report that all the Ameri-
cans in Pekin and Tung Shau are safe.
but their property has been destroyed.
The Toxic correspondent of the Duly
Talacrar% u,irNe Yesterday saws.
"Kwang Su is reported to have sent a
second dispatch 10 Emperor Nicholas, adj
hitting that a state of war exists at
Tien-Tsin, but that the Russians are fully
protected at open ports. The Chinese En-
peror ndds that the disturbances in Man
churia were caused by rebellious general
in Amur and that he has Instructed the
Chinese general to restore order"
The Shanghai correspondent Of the
Times says:
1.-The general aspect of the situation
confirms the opinion that the N1anchl!
party. fenring the effect of further violent
measures. rely on Lii Hung Chang's nego-
tiations to prevail upon the Powers to
forego vengeance in return for the relief
Of the survivors,"
1t is reported from an unofficial but
usually reliable source that the Chinese
Minister at st. Petersburg wired 10 Ii
Hung Chang. intimating the possibility of
obtaining favorable terms of settlement
from Russin if China would adopt cor
cil.atory attitude and compel a cessation
of the attacks on the legation There
upon, according to this infortant Ii Hung
