PEKIN, Sept. 13-Latest advices

that Cheng Tu, the capital Of Sze-
chuen province is under siege; that
most if not all of the missionaries
are inside the walls and that the city

several engagements with the beseig-
ing forces
A dispatch from the Prefect Of
Tsuchau. September L says the troops
were then firing at the besiegers from
the walls and that the latter lost many
men. The belief is expressed here
that the garrison is able t. repulse

Tsachau is % miles from Cheng Tu.
The Canadian Methodists compound
within the city has open spaces around
its own walls. 1t is believed all for
