high officials opposed to the Boxers
are reported by the couriers to have
been assassinated.
A dispatch to news agency here,
dated Tien Tsin, July 2, says:
THE empress dowager, SO far from
being dead is actively striving to pre-
vent the factions fighting. Prince
Ching has informed her that he would
rather lose his head than be constantly
obliged to warn her OF the consequences
OF the prolongat.On OF the present an

that Ching should he decapitated but
the empress dowager will not allow

Ii and San Tung country, the people

However all this may be. the allies

unpleasant time. The last engagement
OF which news has come through cc-
Cured on July G. The Chinese artil-
lcry opened at dawn. Their FIRE was
more accurate and their ammunition
better, the shells exploding with pre-
Cision and setting fire to several build
ings. "A. NJ S. Terrible's guns again

lies Immediately attacked and drove the
Chinese from their works, but lost 80
killed and wounded in SO doing. The
non-combatants are leaving Tien Tsin.
and the opinion of minority favors
the military leaving also. Stories Of
colossal Chinese armies gathering con-
tinuR to worry not only the rank and
file, but the commanders, who admit
the uncertainty of reconnaisances and
the complete absence of an effective
intelligence department. Chinese in
formation is received with extreme dis
trust
1t is obvious that, though there are
many thousands OF Chinese camped
behind the guns, nothing can be done
at present except to wait the arrival
Of reinforcements. The rainy season
has set in, and this makes going into
the interior most difficult. The coun-
try between Pekin and Tien Tsin in
other years has been frequently flood
ed. River transportation is almost i'm
possible, and the railway is practically
non-e1istent and must be entirely re-
built.
Military opinion is unanimous that
IL the legations did not need relief it
would be foolish to attempt to advance
before September.
