eigners everywhere are urgi the imme-
date concentration of an army of 100000
| men, or at least $4,000 men, for an advance
| on Picking. Many persons familiar with
| the Chinese character think the foreign
| Ministers and Vice Admiral Seymour are
| held as hostages for good terms of settle-
ment. They also believe the whole chi
! nese army is joining IN the movement
| under the leade rship of Tung Fu Hsiang,
who crushed The Mohammedan REBEL on.
| Recently he was nominally degraded for
the purpose of organizing an ant-fore gn
uprising quietly. 1t is estimated that Co.
0oa soldiers, well armed but poorly disci-
plined, are about Picking and r en-Tsin.

erage of 100 rounds of ammun ton. The
