NICER0YS ASSUME
THE RESPONSIBILITY

London, July 5.-In the House of
Commons today the parliamentary sec
rotary of foreign office. Mr.. William
St John Broderick. replying to Mr..
John Dillon. said the government had
no information to the effect that Rear
Admiral Kempn opposed the attack on
the Taku forts on the ground that II
would force the Chinese regulars into
an alliance with the Boxers.
Mr. Frederick. later announced that
the government was hourly expecting
a reply 10 a communication addressed
TO Japan, and said the Chinese minis
ter in London had been informed that
the authorities at Pekin would be held
personally guilty of any injuries sus-
tanned by Europeans, and he had ban
requested to convey this information
at once, and to have to reach without
ran the authorities at Pekin
continuing, Mr.. BTOderick said that
Rear Admiral Bruce had telegraphed
that all allied admirals at Taku are
working in perfect accord and that
the position of the American forces is
Identical with that of other powers.
Replying to other questions. Mr.
Frederick said he thought it doubtful
II any organized government existed
IN China with which Great Britain
could consider herself at war The
government had no confirmation of the
reported massacre of ministers.

quested by the British foreign Of

JAPAN KEPT FROM
SAVING PEKIN

London, July 6. , a. m.-"The safety
of all foreigners in north China" saws
one representative. depends upon
Japan's prompt action. Japan has
10000 troops ready. but is prevented
from sending them to China by inter
national jealousjes.
The morning papers have various
continental dispatches handling the
question as to why Japan does not
send more troops to China but none
of them throw much light upon the
situation
The Daily Mail offers the query:
Gould Japan have relieved Pekin if
given free hand?"
The correspondent replied: YES.
Japan's strength is ample and her abiI-
ity To use it unquestioned. The truth
Is that the mikadO's minister has been
excessively cautious. fearing that a
great display Of force might precipitate
a complication among the powers"
Intense Indignation is felt in Shang-
hal against the supposed action of the
powers in restraining Japan from send
ing an army TO Pekin Immediately. The
powers are accused of being as guilty
of murder as are Prince Tuan's fanat-
les. and Sir Robert Hart is blamed f.
not having informed the foreigners Of
the immense imports of arms espec-
tally few weeks ago.

Berlin. July 5.-The German consul at
Tien Tsin, reporting the contents Of
letters of Sir Robert Hart, the inspec-
tor general of Chinese customs, and a
French dispatch dated Fekin, June "A,

owing to the destruction of the rail-
road, the beginning of the rainy season
and the necessity of protecting Tien
Tsin. the commanders of the interna-
tiOnal forces are unable to send troops
to Pekin.
THE Chinese have pierced the Grand
canal and flooded the country in order
to prevent the advance of the inter
national troops towards Pekin.
Messengers from Pekin say that af-
ter the German marines burned the
Tsung Ii Yamen, they occupied the
city gate in front of the palace, with
four guns. two of which were captured
from the Chinese.
'All the other gates were held by the
Chinese.

These tanks are ninety-foot tanks

ing that the Chinese Boxer troops
