of the foreign ministers TO increase the
garrison at Peking leads to a belief In for
eign circles in Tien-Tsin and Shanghai
that the powers will never leave the Chi
nese capital, but will make China another
Egypt.
Details have been received from Shanghai
regarding the recent murders of railway
engineers by Boxers. 1t seems that party
of thirty. including six ladies and one child,
left Pao-Ting-Fu in twelve boats under
military escort. After traversing fifty
miles in safety, they missed their way. The
boats grounded. and the Boxers opened
fire upon the unfortunate occupants, using
rifles and wooden cannon. The engineers
returned the fire effectively and the party
landed One lady and three men got
separated from the main body. They were
brutally killed. The survivors formed
square. with those able to bear arms out
side, and the women inside, and made on
towards Tien-Tsin. They Travelled three
and a half days. fighting all the way. More
than two thousand cartridges were ex-
pended, and ammunition was running
short. They estimated that they killed at
least a hundred rebels. The men behaved
like heroes, carrying the women and chill
dren. One lady of the party was close to
maternity. Twelve miles from Tien-Tsin
three men disappeared and were murdered.
The survivors eventually met the rescue
party; and. much exhausted, they were
escorted to Tien-Tsin.
Sir Charles Macdonald, the British Min
lister at Peking. sent the following telegram
to Shanghai on June Z: ''The movement
against the foreigners which has been al
lowed to grow to such an extent, has re-
suited in the burning of railway stations
and in the interruption of railway COM
Eaunication for five days. Two British mis-
sionaries and several foreign missionaries
have been murdered in the district near
Picking. In the country round numbers of
converts have been murdered, and chapels
have been pillaged and destroyed. while in
the capital itself the British missionaries
have been obliged to leave their houses and
to take refuge at the legation, which is
defended by seventy-fve marines. The
Chinese government is affected by these
events so far as to send high officials to
parley with the Boxers. but it does not
show any intention of summarily suppress
ing them. Probably it still has power to do
so. but the throne is still strongly in :.
fluenced by sympathy with the movement.
and the spirit of the troops is doubtful. All
Is well UP to the present"
The Chinese minister in London, Lo
Ferg Luh. when shown the latest dis
patches from Tien-Tsin. authorized his
secretary to make the following statement
''It is all nonsense TO believe the Empress
Is encouraging the Boxers. She is doing
all she can to calm them. How can the
Chinese government support rebellion,
when China alone suffers? We have al
ready lost property worth f1ooOo,0oO. The
Empress back of the Boxers? 1t Is alb
surd." The secretary expressed the opinion
that the Boxers numbered less than a
million of the population.
