Loiu'on, July III. The admiralty
has made public the following mes
sage from Sir Claude MncDonald at
1'ekln sent as a dispatch by bear Ad
miral llruee at Tien Tsin: "ISritisli

repeatedly attacked by Chines-.; troops
on all sides. Jloth rille and artillery
fire. Since July 1(5 an armistice, but
a cordon is strictly drawn on both
sides of the position. Chinese barri
cades close to ours. All women and
children in the I'.ritish legation.
Casualties to date 02 killed, includ
ing Capt. St routs. A number of
wounded in hospital, including Capt.
Halliday. Kest of legation all well
except, David Oliphant and Warren,
killed July 21."
Sir Claude MacDonald's welcome
dispatch, received in cipher, is ac
cepted on all sides as dispelling any
doubts that might still have existed
regarding the genuineness of the dis
patch. Owing to an error In trans
mission the message fulls to show the
number of wounded. The message
fails to mention the other legations
and other matters of pressing Im
portance to know, but it should b.e
borne in mind that the British min
ister may not be aware that all his
previous dispatches have been sup
pressed. He may be under the im
pression Unit the government is fully
posted regarding all recent occur
rences. Apart from this dispatch
there Is practically no fresh news, al
though a special from Tien Tsin as
serts that the llritish and American
forces are getting ready to advance

Washington, July HI. Now that
the London foreign olllce has heard
from Sir Claude MacDonnld, the of
ficials here confidently expect that
within a very short time something
will come from linisler Conger if lie
be still alive. This belief is based up
on the assumption that .Mr. Conger's
facilities for communicating to his
government are at least equal to
those possessed by his diplomatic col
league, and that, lie will avail himself
of the very first opportunity to let
the people of the United States know
that he is alive and what are the real
conditions in I'ekin. Officials are hor
rified at tiie great number of per
sons who have been killed and wound
ed and say that when the day of
reckoning comes China will have a big
account to settle with different na
tions. inr-tit New f'om (-rtiutn Legation.

Washington, July III. The view
which the Washington cabinet has
taken from the beginning, that with
the exception of Huron von Kctteler,
the. li'gut loners at I'ekin were alive
long after the date which was said to
have marked their massacre, is being
slowly but surely confirmed.

Jt was indeed a perilous situation.
What was to be done? There seemed to ho
no rope at hand, and there was trouble in
lowering the lifeboat, and, as is usually the
case, none of the sailors could swim.
A lawyer suggested n writ of habeas cor

there was not a judge on board, and no one
