EVENTS IN CHINA
RIPE FOR REVOLT
Another Serious Boxer Outbreak
Expected by Residents.

MANCHESTER. England. Aug. The
Manchester Dispatch" this morning
says that several letters have been re-
ceived in Official quarters in London
from different parts OF China. and in
each the prediction is made that before
long there will be another serious Boxer
outbreak. The writer's also said that u
strict censorship was imposed by the
Chinese officials.
AdvIces from the interior OF China are
that there is much feeling against Rus
sia and that many Russian officials have
been murdered in Manchuria. According
to the adVices the outside world has
heard nothing of these crimes, because
Russia thinks the situation In the Far
East at the present time too critical to
make reprisals.
