latest advices received by the Chi

Cheng-Tu, dated September IL. said
that the troops were firing upon the
rebels from the Cheng-Tu walls and
That the besiegers had lost many men.
The belief is held there that the gar

tacks of any number of organized
rebels from the outside.
The British consul is reported to
have refused permission to five boat
loads of missionaries to leave the
city.
The Canadian Methodist compound
within the city has open spaces
around its own walls 1t is believed
that the foreigners have taken refuge
within this compound, which is con
