forward movement is impossible. From
10000 10 10000 troops are wanted and
there are only 1900 here. The foreign
troops are working well together, but it
Is inconvenient that there is no supreme
commander In some quarters the feeling
IS "let US rescue Pekin and then clear out
in favor OF Russia"
Other Tien Tsin correspondents say that
no advance is possible until September
] and explanations are being asked the
papers here of the tardy action Of Japan
in sending troops, since It is known that
she was ready and willing to send them
and that Russia raised no objection to
her doing so. 1t is hinted that a diff
Guilty arose in the manner in which Japan
was TO be recouped for her heavy out
lay. Rumors are current that Japan de-
manded the cession Of a Chinese port.
The Russian papers report that the box
ers are ravaging Manchuria, and have
damaged the sixty miles Of the railway
threatening Kilen and Kiren, while Port
Arthur and Neu Chwang are said to be
endangered. Russia, therefore, has noti-
fed the powers Of her intention to dis
patch a large military force to Manchu-
ria
appears that the Russian censorship
is suppressing all reference to this matter
and 1t transpires that 6,000 regular troops
have already arrived from Port Arthur
and Amur to trotect the Manchuria rail-
way and that other troops are now on
their way to Manchuria.
All kinds of stories come from Shanghai
which it is impossible to verify. It is
stated that the boxers have murdered
the chancellor of the Pekin university
and sixty members of his family and re-
tainers. A confidential officer of Gen.
Yung In disguised as boxer, is report
ed to have crept into Prince Tuans tent
while the prince was sleeping, with the
intention Of stabbing him, he was caught
by the sentries, so the story goes, and
decapitated on the spot.
The French consul at Shanghai has
news that the Chinese prefect at Mouk-
den himself murdered the catholic bishop
Guilton in his yamen. Besides Bishop
Guillon, Fathers Crunoet, Corbet, Bour-
geois and Villenot and two sisters Of the
French mission and numerous native
Christians were massacred
From Canton comes a report Of large
desert.ons from a German-Chinese Re gi-
ment at Kiao Chou and Of a riot be-
tween German troops and boxers. many
of the latter being killed.
Both at Shanghai and Canton appre-
hension exist that these evidences Of a
widespread native rebellion indicate the
necessity for immediate measures on the
part OF the powers 1t is stated that
Germany intends 10 send to China 1000
to 1900 men well equipped with guns.
