NEW BOXER INSURREcTIoN.
aries and Native Christians
Again Under Way.

Victoria. B. C.. June e.-Advioes
were received by tho steamer Claver-
ing that the different missions at
Pekin have been informed that at
southwest Chi Ii a new Boxer In
surreetion has broken ont, led by
George Chi Hing, who killed his wife
and family, and others emulated the
example before the campaign COM
menced.
The Boxers first murdered French
missionary and later killed a Belgian
priest, and so Chinese officials en-.
gagged in collecting taxes were killed.
A church was destroyed at Wei Helm,
where native missionary was killed
and a large number of converts
slaughtered. Troops were sent
against the Boxers who defeated
them. The rebels are credited with
a programme of overrunning Honan
and Shan Tung and then making for
Pekin. They are well armed.
The Japan Mail SAYS.
AS might have been anticipated
the recrudesenee of Boxer disturb
anees at Ku Huh Hen. in Chi Ii, has
an effect on the discussion for the
restoration of the civil government
for Tien Tsin. Even those who previ-
ously advocated the policy of imme-
date restoration are now said to be
reticent. II Is not the Tien Tsin ques-
tion alone that will be injurionsly in
fluenced by these things. Other and
far more important events also de-
pend on China's ability TO preserve
order with wholly inefficient maehin-
cry under circumstances that would
probably oyertax the competency of
any power"
The French consul at Tien Tsin is
said to have proceeded to Tien Tsin
for the purpose of investigating the
circumstances of the death of a
French missionary at the hands of
the Boxer insurgents.

JOY At THE BRITISH EMBASSY.
Satisfaction Felt at the Close of the
Long struggle.

Washington. June 2.-The officials
ef the British embassy here share the
iubilant feeling existing in London
over the termination Of the war in
South Africa. They view with much
satisfaction the close of the long
struggle.
Official notice of the signing Of the
terms Of surrender came to Mr..
Raikes. the British charge here, in n
cablegram from the foreign Office. IT.
was very brief and was in accord
with the statements contained in the
press dispatches. 1t probably will be
communicated formally TO the United
States government to-day
Nothing official has reached the de-
partment on the subject from Ambas-
sador Choate, al London, or from any
other source. President Roosevelt
was furnished copy of the
press dispatch giving the news
of the signing of the surrender terms.
The impression prevails In official
circles that the terms of surrender
named by the British in their nego-
tiations with the Beers have been
very liberal in character. perhaps
from the double desire TO bring the
war to a close and TO have this happy
event formally proclaimed before the
coronation Of King Edward in June.
From a commercial point Of view
the cessation OF hostilities will re-
suit beneficially TO American exports
to South Africa, the reports issued
from time to time by the foreign
commerce bureau Of the state de.
partment showing that they have
suffered considerably since the be-
| ginning Of the war two years ago.
