THE SITUATION | |S UNCHANGED Imperial City is Still Invested But Not Occupied BOXERS COMING FROM SOUTH The Whole American Force and inc British Artillery Have Been Moved to Outer Wall
 of Pekin.
BOXERS COMING FROM SOUTH

London, August 27.-U a. m.)-The latest news from Pekin indicates that the situa- tion there Is unchanged. The Imperial City Is still invested, but has not yet been occupied. The allies when the last mes sage left, were still refraining from as- eressiye action, pending instructions from their governments.
 An attack from thirty thousand Boxers was anticipated; and to meet this, the whole American force and the British ar tillery, according to dispatch to the Morning Post form Pekin, dated August IS, were moved to the outer city wall
 The Boxers were reported coming from the south.
 General Dorward in his report of the en- gagement outside Tien Tsin, August 19, when the Americans. British and Japan csc signally defeated large force of Boxers, killing over three hundred, says, in dispatch, dated August 25
 "The lines of communication near Tien Tsin are now free from danger. The ene- my had been treating the villagers badly Several decapitated bodies were found in their camp
 "The villagers are now f1ocking to Tien Tsin at the rate of about thousand day. As there is not more than a months food supplies, there is every prospect of a famine shortly.''
 This declaration that a famine Is immi- nent in consequence of the inadaquacy of provisions for the hordes of refugees at Tien Tsin, adds a new element of peril to the situation.
 Kwang Su Not Captured
 Shanghai advices say that the report of the capture of Emperor Kwang Su by the Japanese was erroneous It was a case of mistaken identity.
 The Pekn correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, wiring August 19 reasserts that the Empress Dowager fled westward, and adds:
 ''she has a body guard of 15OO; and as the mountainous character of the country would prevent artillery following it is be- lieved that she will not be pursued. The correspondent reports everything quiet on the date of his dispatch; but a telegram to the same paper from Tien Tsin, dated August "A asserts that a thousand Russians, Germans and Japan csc had pushed forward from Pekin, with the intention, it was assumed, of pursuing the fleeing Empress Dowager. At conference of ministers and gen. erals held at Taku Friday, 1t was decided according to the Daily Telegraph, to refer the fate of the forbidden city to Europe, Tien Tsin despatches to Berlin dated Au- gust 23 say:
 "The Japanese troops are in possession of the wall around the innermost part of the forbidden city but have not yet made their way to the Imperial Palace, owing to the lack of government instructions" Lieutenant General Linevitch, con- mander of the First Siberian Army Corps cabling to St. Petersburg under date of August IS says:

 Morocco

Tangier, Morocco August 26.-A United States warship has arrived here to support the claim arising out of the murder last June of Marios Essagin, a naturalized American citizen, who was the manager of the Fez branch of the French firm of Braunsweig 6 Co.

In self defense Essagin drew his revolver and fired, wounding a native. This was the signal for a general attack upon the American, who received dozens of knife wounds and whose body was burned, according to some accounts, before life was extinct

THE CHINESE CONSUL.

! The Chinese Consul. whose good
work at KawaiahaO church was noted
in these columns the other day. is now
nagging the Government and doing
what he can to hinder the labors Of the

with this meddlesome action is the in

AS a newspaper which has urged the

we feel at liberty-without undertaking
to represent the Government in any
way-to advise the Chinese Consul to
subside. He does not cut very much
ice officially. His Government, or what
Is left of it, cannot even secure respect
at home, much less command 1t abroad.
It is the most opera bouffe government
on earth except that of the Tonga ISL

in the making of requests and demands
to which no one need pay the slightest
heed unless impelled to by sense of
justice. So far as the collection of dam
age claims is concerned the Tsung Ii
Yamen is of less account than Rhode
Island constable. This Is plain talk but
il has the merit of being true and we
advise the Chinese Consul to heed it
before he makes himself and his coun-
trymen as unpopular in Hawaii as the
Chinese are on the Pacific Coast.
That is a fate to be avoided with care.
SO far the public sentiment Of Hawaii
has been favorable to the Chinese,

FOR MAINLAND READING.

The contents Of this edition include
in the form of a review, the important
news covering the fight with the plague
which has appeared in previous issues.
This review is supplemented by the
familiar map of the burned area and
with pictures of the ruins, the latter
being half-tone engravings reproduced
by the Advertisers own plant from
Lavey's excellent photographs. The
intention is to give foreign readers in
one edition, and that the latest they
will get by the steamer to the Coast a
comprehensive idea of how a pestilence
is handled in Honolulu.
We emphasize particularly the or
ganization which was formed to make
the fight against the Asiatic scourge
effective. Long experience has taught
the citizens of Honolulu to meet emer-
gencies with a ready hand and with
most effective weapons. Our people fall
into line for defensive pur-
poses and they did so most admirably
both when the plague broke out and the
fire which was intended to suppress it
leaped all bounds and swept entirely
over the Asiatic quarter No body of
citizens anywhere could have done bet
.er and the Mainland people may safe
y feel that, so long as Honolulu is in
such hands, there is no danger that the
plague will be permitted to linger in
definitely. Whatever the cost in time
lr money it will be stamped out.
