A Prospect That the Chinese RcGU-
lars VIII Advance and Clash
With the FrancC-Germau Expedi-
tfou-actfon of Ministers nt PcI~in.
PEKIN. April 1S-Li Hung Chang
has teIegraphed Emperor Kwang Hsl
and the Governor Of the Province OF
Snansi. recommending the withdrawal
Of the Chinese troops from the border,
but General LIu, If his boastng means
anything, Will remain to fight the Ger
man and French troops sent to oppose
his advance.
The foreign ministers at a meeting
yesterday approved the main features
of the report of the generals mentioned
in previous dispatches. providing for
the razing of the Chinese forts between
Pelsin and the sea, the establishment OF
military posts at certain points and the
gradual evacuation Of China by the al
lied troops
1t is probable that the evacuation will
begin by the foreign troops leaving
Paotis15-fu, provided there is no COLI
sion between the Chinese troops and
the French and Germans during the
eraI persons of prominence think that
the evacuation Of China should depend
upon the Emperor's agreement to re
turn to Pekin. They also believe that
part of the journey should be completed
and capable native authority restored
before the allies evacuate Pekin- other
wise bedlam will prevail and the i'm
preston among the Chinese will be that
the foreigners were afraid 10 remain
The expense Of keeping the allies here
is a very important item It is estmat-
ed that it will amount to S0,00o,00o taels
per month.
Several Belgian Catholic missionaries
and native converts having secured ri
fes and ammunition here. have return

tack This action was necessary unless
the missionaries decided to abandon
their property there and give up their
work of making converts. Mongolia,
like Shansi, Is still very unsafe for for
eigners.
