JAPAN IS READY TO LAND AN ARMY
ONLY AWAITING INSTRUCTIONS FROM PoWERs-PRNCE TUAN
ORDERS ADVANCE ON NANKIN-LI HUNG CHANG LEAVES
CANT0M-C0NFL lCTING REPORTS.

London, July 7.--"The massacre of the
foreign ministers, the women and chill
dren and the guards at Pekin after Is
days of hopeless resistance is confirmed"
says a news agency dispatch from Shan
ghai, dated July 6, and received in Lon
don today.
when the ammunition and food were
exhausted" continues the dispatch, "the
Chinese fiends closed in upon the lega-
tions and butchered all who remained
alive. Afterwards they set fire to the
legation buildings in which the remains
of the victims were consumed in one hor-
rible holocaust
The dispatch does not state the source
from which the news of this confirmation
is received, but it is thought that this
is indicated by another Shanghai dis
patch which states that the Taoti, or Off
Ger in charge of several departments at
Shanghai and vicinity, now admits that
no legations exist in Pekin. They are
said to have been exterminated and it is
left alive,
Reports of the atrocities committed by
Prince Tuan upon the Chinese are ap-
pdllIS. ne Ildu 4,UVU chinese UulCIleFeu
it is said, for merely daring to petition to
control the orgie of bloodshed and re-
strain his followers. The dispatch con-
cludes with the announcement that ex-
Viceroy Chi Ii Wang Wen Chao has been
killed by the boxers. Reports from ma
tives who left Pekin June "a continue to
arrive, but they are to a large extent
merely variations of the stories already
published. A dispatch from Taku says
that the last message from Mr.. Edwin H.
Conger, the United States minister at
Pekin, brought there by runners, reads as
follows:
''We are besieged, The provisions are
being exhausted and the situation is des-
perate. The relief force should advance
and give us notice by signal"
Runners also confirm the report of the
burning o. the native city If Pel<in.
In London it is hardly doubted that the
worst has happened, though the friends
of those who were besieged at Pekin
cling to the last slender hope that Sir
Robert Hart, the inspector general of the
custom house. who was trusted by the
Chinese, managed by the promise of
bribes to induce the boxer leaders to pro-
tect the women and children from the
violence of the mobs.

TROOPS FOR ORIENT.
United States Will Send 10000 Men
to Philippines.

Washington, July 7.-As result Of a
thorough consideration of the subject by
the secretary of war, Lieut.. Gen Miles and
Adjt. Gen. Corbin, orders We're issued by
the war department this afternoon for the
dispatch of 6,254 regular troops to the Phil
ippines, with a View to ultimate utiliZa-
ton in China If it is found necessary to
send them to that country. These troops
are intended primarily to relieve the vol
unteers in the Philippines and will only be
diverted to China in the event that circum-
stances demand 1t.
The force is made up of two battalions
each of the Fifteenth, Second, Fifth and
Eighth infantry, two squadrons each of the
First and Ninth cavalry, one squadron of
the Third cavalry and a company of engi-
neers.
These troops will be forwarded as rapidly
as the transportation arrangements can be
perfected, and the entire fleet of transports
at San Francisco and New York will be
employed in the work.

closely questioned in the house of COM
mons, says a dispatch to the Tribune

mons, says a dispatch to the Tribune
from London.
Rumors that bulletin had been re-
ceived< from Sir Claude Macdonald
have been confirmed in a roundabout
way through Berlin, where information
has come from the German consul at
Tien Tsin that Sir Claude has sent a
letter to the British consul at Tien Tsin
been killed in the street and that an in
terpreter had been dangerously wound
ed. The foreign office does not give out
news unit! it is forced to do so.
Press messages are few in number
and are as untrustworthy as all Chinese
news has been during the last fort
night. The London public pays little
attention to sensational headlines in
the newspapers containing alleged de-
tails Of an appalling massacre. 1t is
compelled to fear the worst, but knows
that Chinese accounts of what has ta-
ken place are of no value Many of the
best. informed men believe that the fate
of the Legations will be like the mystery
of the death of Gordon, story that
will be todd by hundreds of rumor mon
gers without a single authentic detail.
. The most alarming dispatch has been
received on the continent from a German
commercial house at 81 og1ai stating
that all the fore.gr ers in '-kin perish,d;
that the revolution was Spreading In the
north and that disturbances are increas-
ing in Shan Tun.
The action Of the American Eovernme MT
in maintaining Independence of Euro
pean concert or coalition is fully justified
If continental reports respecting the dis
sensions of the powers are accurate. Mr..
Broderick has admitted that Japan was
strongly urged by Great Britain to inter-
vene with large orce, and while he de-
MES that any power has offered objec-
tions, he asserts that negotiations over
the matter are still in progress.
There are persistent rumors on the con-
tinent that Japan will be allowed a free
hand in time to secure the safety of the
legations and that complications have al
ready arisen. These reports are probably
premature. The powers will hold to-
gether until definite assurances are re-
ceiVed that the legations have been de-
stroyed.
The American government stands in a
different position from Russia, Germany,
England and France, which have been
forcing China to cede harbors and terri
tory to them and thereby causing the
outbreak of a widespread anti-foreign
movement. 1t is not responsible for the
existing agitation against foreigners and
has no nart in the coalition which must
inevitably divide the empire among the
, European powers and japan.

SITUATION IS GRAVE.
United States Will Not Send More
Warships to China.

Bingham, Mass, July 7.-Secretary
Long, shortly after his arrival at his
hoee from Was 1ington in speaking of
the situation in China, said:
'The situation is a very grave one.
There has been no official news from
there and even message that we got
from Kempff came by runner. The
purpose of the American government is
to protect American lives and American
property and not aggrandizement. Tais
government will not send any more war
ships to China"

clally to the western states In the south

populsts admit their party is distasteful
to the democrats, the electoral tickets will
be for Bryan and Stevenson.
In the electoral college, according to the
general plan as outlined, it is the inten-
ton to unite the VOTE probably on Mr.
Stevenson This general plan was outlined
at the meeting of the populist national
committee, which was held last night at
the close of the meeting between confer

I adjourned early today after a protracted
, debate.
THE whole idea is to concentrate our
forces and work for the success of William

Kansas today The democratic platform

conditions exist in many of the states
where our strength is the greatest, and we
consider 1t advisable to have a complete

We can best hold our forces"

gain strength and to predict what they
are capable of doing would be foolish.
''The backward policy of the powers on
account of insufficient troops has added
strength to the boxers, and to those who
know the country it is no surprise that
the anti-foreign movement is extending
southwark. It will be necessary
powers to gather a sufficient force to not
only take Pekin, but to capture the en-
peror, empress dowager and other boxer
heads. Just as long as they are allowed
freedom there will be trouble and atroci-
ties"
