sible, until tho legations, If they are

tho prcsenco of tho newly arrived

By tho evening of July 4 tho situa

rowly escaped total defeat. Providen
tially when things woro at tho worst
a heavy rainfall compelled tho Chinese
to rotlro.
On July C, tho rain having abated,
tho Chlneso renewed tho nttack, open

terles of four-Inch guns, but tho nlllea,
aided by two H. M. S. Tcrrlble's four-
Inch guns, succeeded In silencing tho
Chlneso artillery after eight hours of

to bo tho general belief that tho dato

NO LINE FROM PEKIN.
Unnutlientlcntrd Itumors All tlmt Eml
nate From Chinese Empire.
LONDON, July 10. With tho for
eigners in Pekin probably safe amid
civil war, with Prlnco Chlng on their
Hide, with the powers united and their
forces constantly increasing, tho out
look in China is rather more hopeful
thnn it has been for a month past.
It appears from the cautious statement
given out by Taotal Shong In Shanghai
that tho reason that tho levy guns bear
ing on tho legation In Pekln wero not
used 1b that Prlnco Chlng, who Is
served by 10,000 mounted troops, seized
all tho artillery ammunition. Shong
likewise Intimates that Lung Yu, com
mander In chief of tho northern nrmy
Is associated with Prince Ching in op
posing Princo Tunn's ferocious designs
and dictatorial ambitions. Sheng, who
nppears to be tho sole Shanghai con
duits of Pekin news cheers tho
foreign consuls by these confidential
communications, but takes excosslvc
precaution to prevent the Chlneso from
thinking him friendly to foreigners.
Tho feeling of unrest in tho southern
nnd centrnl provinces continues. Tho
members of the official classes In those
provinces strlvo to remain neutral with,
a leaning toward tho foreigners until
they shall know whether tho moderate
or extremo factions will win In Pekin.
Prlnco Chlng seems to bo standing
for the dynasty and tho old order
ngalnst Prlnco Tunn's Inordinate am
bition. From n foreign point of view tho cap
ture of Pckln is tho key to tho sit
uation, as there is fear, according to
tho Dally Mail's Shanghai correspond
ent, thnt delay now means one hun
dred recruits for tho Boxers for every
soldier of the allies In tho land.
Two couriers nrrived at Tien Tsln
on July from Pekln. Ono .brought a
letter from Sir Claude MacDonald
tho British minister, to tho same effect
as that previously received from Sir
Robert Hnrt. The couriers confirm the
reports of the denth of Baron voa
Kettclcr. They say that Prlnco Chlng
Is doing his utmost to protect tho for
eigners, but that tho natlvo feeling
against tho whites Is strong. Two of
flclnls opposed to tho Boxers nro re
ported by tho couriers to have been
assassinated.
Sir Claudo MacDonald's letter 1b
dated four days earlier than that of
Sir Robert Hart's.
