London, July 23.--11:90 p. m.-Sir Hal 1iday MacArtney, counsellor and Eng fish secretary to the Chinese legation in London, asserted this evening that the Pekin legations were safe and about to proceed to Tien Tsin.
 The Chinese minister, Sir Chin Shen Lo Feng Luh, has communicated to the press the following dispatch from Sheng, director general of Chinese rail- roads and telegraphs and Taotai of Shanghai, dated Shanghai, July 23.
 "Information from Pekin, dated July 1S says that the Tsung Lii Yamen, de- puted Won-Jui, an under secretary of the department, to see the foreign min isters and he found every one we'll, without any missing, the German min ister excepted
 General Yung Lu is going to the throne to send them all under escort to Tien Tsin, in the hope that the military operations will then be stopped"
 The Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Mail telegraphing July 22. says: "A letter from a Chinese official in Shang Tung has been received by a na- tive functionary here containing the following passage: At the beginning of the month the foreign ministers made several attempts to send messages out of F kin, but, thanks to the strict watch kept on the city the bearers were all caught and executed. On the 4th insta. only 400 foreigners much exhausted, were left alive in Pekn, and, one night, when the big guns were necessarily fir i+ | and the foreigners were finished, al- though pretended telegrams contradict these facts"
 There is nothing further this morning that throws any light upon the myster- ious situation. Two urgent dispatches were addressed yesterday by the Chi. nese minister to the Pekin government and to the director of telegraph admin istration strongly advocated the neces- sity of restoring telegraph communica- tion with view of enabling the pow CTS to obtain proof of the safety of the foreign ministers. Until such proofs are secured no one here is inclined to alter the opinion that the Chinese are merely juggling to gain time.
 Rumor circulates briskly about the personality of Ii Hung Chang He is credited with mission to offer to cede to the allied powers two provinces as indemnity for the Pel1in outrages, and also to cffer to restore order and to give facilities for trade with the outside world on condition of the surrender of Xiao Chou, Wei Hai Wei and Man churia by the powers and the with drawal of all missionaries. Little at tention however, need be paid to any of these rumors.
