London, June 27.-The optimists who

week have turned out in force at the
house OF commons and the political
clubs and are talking chcerfully about
China Admiralty bulletins are lacking
but there are more hopeful press dis
patches. The American report that the
allied forces had broken thru the.
Chinese Gordon and reached Tien Tsin
has been confirmed by press agencies
and the German foreign Office
This relief column. headed by Amer.
lean, Russian and German contingents,
drove back the Chinese regulars on
Saturday night and reached the foreign
quarter. AS about 5000 European
troops have been landed at Taku, this
column was strongly supported and en-
abled to push on at once to the relief
OF Admiral Seymour.
There are many rumors respecting
the fate Of Seymour's force, but one
which the officials here are disposed to
believe Is the report that the admiral is
entrenched few miles from Pekin or
Tien Tsin awaiting reinforcements, and
that the foreign ministers and refugees
are with him. This is u more comforts
ing tale than the rumOr that the force
has been cut to pieces and that Admiral
Seymour is either dead or prisoner,
and 1t has been confirmed by the Ger
man consul at Che Foo
So marked was the reaction from the
depression last night that men of in
fiuence did not hesitate to say that they
believed the public had been deceived
by sensational news-mongers and
Chinese liars, and as soon as communi-
cations were reopened 1t would be
known that the foreigners had not been
murdered at Tien Tsin; that Admiral
Seymour's forces had been blocked. hut

had not been attacked. One view
which found considerable support was
that the empress. by avoiding an open
conflict with the Boxers and instruct

situation and that the legations had es-
capped attack In this way; that the
ministers had been escorted out OF

been shut out OF the capital but had moi
been in serious danger. There Ii little
