Emperor Doesn't Like the Idea OF
Reducing Chinn's Forts.
Peking, Dec. 27.-Li Hung Chang and
Prince Ching, the Chinese peace commits
sioners, have heard from the emperor,
Kwang Su. Prince Ching called on the
former for consultation, remaining over
an hour. The court objects strenuously
to reducing the forts and also to allowing
permanent legation guards, which, it
seems to think could be made sufficiently
large Mt any time desired in order to
menace the court itself.
After the conference it was decided to
hold further communication with the
court before seeing the ministers.
The British have increased their garri-
son at Yangtsun to 100 men, with horses
and three guns.
4 flying column of 1000 cavalry will
scour the country between Tien-tsin and
Yamgtsun in obedience to Field Marshal
Won Waldersee's orders to be on the alert,
in view Of the French report of an en-
gagement with $500 Chinese troops.
Colonel Tullock's regiment will return
to destroy the towns he recently held.
This action is owing TO the fact that 1t
has been discovered that a number OF
Boxers unquestionably made them their
Headquarters The British authorities
say they do not expect serious trouble
| from the Boxers, mainly because they
lack arms. Fortunately, the Chinese gov
| crnment is afraid to trust them with
arms, as il fears rebellion against the
| dynasty. Otherwise the danger might
| have been serious.
British soldiers have been found deat
outside the Temple of Heaven witt
bullets III their heads. The murders arr
believed to have been committed by Chi
/ nese.

States cavalry, Ninth infantry and Fiftl
| artillery will leave to investigate the re
ported brlnng of native Christians b.
Boxers as reported by the Rev. Mr.. Kel
