Paris, July 29.-Yu Keng, the Chinese
minister here, says he is convinced the
legations in Pekin are safe and sound, al
though some buildings have been ce.
stroyed.
" lille this conviction is not shared by
the official and political world here, dis
patches from the tar east during the past
week have raised renewed hope that some
if not all-of the members of the lega-
tons are still alive. Minister Yu Keng
thinks the silence of the ministers at Pc
kin not so ominous as it is considered
abroad and he asks that China be given
another five days credit to produce au-
thentic and satisfactory news of the le-
cations, or perhaps of the ministers them
selves. He himself is still in ignorance OF
the actual situation in Pekin, but con-
cludes from dispatches he has received
from the provincial viceroys and from
kilograms asking for mediation of France
that Emperor Kwang Hsu and the EN-
press dowager have the upper hand and
that Prince Tuan has been definitely mas.
tered.
Happily for my country and for the
foreigners" he said, "Yung Lu and Prince
Ching are, believe, now in power, and
tins leaves me hopeful-even though the
presumption of the ministers may prove
correct--that the legationers are still
alive"

The man, for it was a man, walked
slowly, hesitatingly. He felt his way

Yes, it was John; but why did he

He was approached yesterday by some wo- men, friends and relatives of some of the people who were with Minister Con- ger when the outbreak took place, be- seeching him to offer rewards which they would pay to any one who would help the besieged

 Rear Admiral Beresford speaking at Malta at the naval and military society on Monday evening said the trouble In China would be far-reaching and dis astrous in its consequences to British trade there. It would be a military, not a maritime war and the powers that could place on the spot the greatest number of troops would eventually have substantial advantages. The pow CTS not consenting to the "open door, particularly Russia, would eventually lose supremacy. He said 1t was pity that his proposals respecting the re- organizations of the Chinese army had not been accepted by the British gov ernment with view to the possibility of general war. Lord Beresford ad- vocated an imperial conference, to which all the colonies should be invited, to discuss scheme of defense.

Jnpan's Dispatch of an Extra Division
 ms n Tcst.

Feat.
 Berlin, July 9-The foreign office claims to have no later authentic news from Pekin than that already published and remains in doubt as to the fate of the whites there. Regarding the atti- tude of the powers, a foreign office of ficial said that they continue harmo- nious and that the harmony just now Is standing the first serious test name ly, under the sending to China of an- other Japanese division, a reinforcement which the commanders at Tien Tsin will especially welcome. There Is now the official added no objection to the landing of forces by any of the allied powers If they will only hasten their arrival"
 The British charge d'affaires, Lord Cough, said to representative of The Associated Press: The powers are now engaged in a new interchange of views regarding Japan's most recent in- qulry, but each power has answered for itself The powers are not in hurry to formulate more remote plan of po- litical action In China, as the first thing necessary Is the relief of Pekin.'
 Lu-Hai-Houan. the Chinese minister to Germany, told representative of The Associated Press that he had re- ceived to day despatch from Ii Hung Chang, dated July 7, saying: NO au- thentic confirmation has arrived of the Pekin slaughter, but I have reliable in- formation that Prince Ching has organ i7ed a determined opposition to the Box ers fighting them with regular troops. majority of which remain loyal Sev- eral severe encounters have been fought in which the loyal troops were victorious. Three thousand rebels, have been killed in the streets before the gates of Pekin."
 The German government fears the spread of the trouble In Shan-Tune and distrusts the Shang-Tung governor, Yuan Shi Kai. and this feeling is con- firmed by Lu-Hai- Houan, who charac- terized Yuan-Shi- Kai as a "davil known for his treacherousness. If is believed here that the destruction of the missions in Shang Tung, which were under the charge of French and Ger man Catholics and Americans would not have occurred if Yuan-Shi- Kaj had been sincere in his professins. because he has 5000 procincial troops under his control who are the best drilled and best armed in China. These he claims to be holding ready against possible at- tack by the German expedition from Tsin Tau.
