LONDON, AUGUST $3.50 a. m.-Last
nights dispatches add nothing concerning
the progress of events in China. Although
the agents of the cable company at Tien
Tsin on July asserted that the censor
ship of press dispatches had been abol-
shed, it is evident that correspondents
are not allowed to cable any account of
the advance in the direction of Pekin
According to a dispatch from Shanghai,
dated Augusta, the principal opposition
will be met twenty miles west of Tien
Tsin where it is stated that Chinese have
erected barriers and distractions
been placed in the river. Mines are said
to have been located under the railway,
the line apparently being left intact.
Sheng, the administrator of telegraphs
and railways, objected to the measures
taken for the defense of the foreign set
Elements the enrolment of volunteers aud
the presence of numerous warships, and
asked the foreign consuls to suspend
these measures. The British consul re-
piled by pointing out that the measures
we're only intended to strengthen the
hands of the lawful Chinese authorities.
A dispatch from st. Ptersburg dated
August says that General Mozievsky re-
ports from China that a portion of Gen
eral Orlof's forces attacked and drove
back the Chinese regulars on July 80, cap
turing one gun and a number of flags and
killing the Chinese commander and two
hundred men. The Russian loss was sew
en- killed and twenty wounded.
Reports from Berlin say that Prince
Henry, in behalf of Emperor William,
made the parting address, bidding good
bye to the Fourth East Asian regiment,
which sailed from Bremerhaven in the
direction of China today.

be killed for doing so.
The consul and vice-consul, Koo Kim,
has made purchases of weapons organ
lied a guard at the Chinese legation and
secured the protection OF the Honolulu
police Two officers are kept constantly
at the legation
Yank Wal Pin made no official celebra-
tlon Of the birthday Of the emperor OF
China this year, but the Bow Wongs got
up a celebration of their own. The con-
sui gave as reason for not holding the
usual celebration that he had been In
structed not TO have any by Minister wa
at Washington. 1t has been the custom
10 hol1 a large reception at the consul
late.
German residents Of Honolulu, through
Consul ]. X. Hackfeldt, have offered 20C
men for the Chinese war, the move hay
