Chlneae In llngitgcment
A London, Aug. 27.4 n. in', ills
patch says: Tho latest news from
Pekin indicates that tho situation
there is unchanged. The imperial city
i still invested, but has not yet been
occupied. The allies, when the last
message, left, wore still refraining
from aggressive action, ponding in
struction from tholr government.
An attack from thirty thousand
boxers was anticipated, and to meet
this, the whole American force and
the British artillery, according to a
dispatch to the Morning Post from
Pekin, dated August IS, were moved
to the outer city wall.
The boxers were reported coming
from the south.
(ieneral Dorwurd in his report of the
engagement outside Tien Thin, August
10, when the Americans. Ilritish and
Japanese signally defeated a large
force.of boxers, hilling over 1100, says,
in n dispatch, ilatcd August '.'ft:
"The lines of communication near
Tlcn Tain are now free from danger.
The enemy had been treutiu;; the vil
la gem badly. Several decapitated bod
ies were found near their camp. The
villagers arc now flocking to Tien Tsin
at the rate of about a thousand a day.
As there Is no more than a month's
food supply, there is every prospect of
a famine shortly.
This declaration that a famine is
imminent in consequence of the inad
equacy of provisions for the hordes of
refugees at Tien Tsin Htlds a new ele
ment of peril to the situation.
Shanghai advices say that the report
of the capture of Kmperor Kwung Su
by the Japanese Is erroneous. It was
u ease of mistaken identity.
No ffnr nn China.
Kussia, (iermany and Japan have
not declared war upon China, either
separated or in concert. This state
ment is made upon authority of the
highest character.
A brief dispatch from Che Foo con
veying a rumor current there that
Russia, (icruuuiy and Japan had joined
in a declaration of war upon China
roused some interesting comment
among Washington oftloiuls. No in
formation of such action has reached
either the department of state or the
legations of the governments primarily
interested.

A Paris, Aug. 2 telegram says: A
special dispatch to Le Slecle from St.
Petersburg says:
"it is persistently rumored in St.
Petersburg that the Russian govern
ment has received a dispatch assert
ing that, after a fierce buttle inside
Pekin the allies retreated, losing l.MK)
men, mostly Russians. It is further
said that the Chinese occupied the for
tified positions from which they are
bombarding the allies in a murderous
manner."
Not Known tt Loudon.
Loudon, Aug. 28. A 3:."ti a. in. dis
patch says: The allies, resuming ag
gressive operations, have taken the
district west of Peklu. This state
ment, based on Chinese authority, is
cabled from Shanghai. From the
Mini.! plac comes the further state
ment that Li Hung Chang has wired
the empress dowager at Hsian Fu. re
questing the arrest of Prince Tuan and
the disarmament of the boxers in or
der to give him an opening for nego
tiations with tlie powers.
After several days' intermission in
Chinese advices the United States gov
ernment has received two dispatches
which presumably bring Its advices up
to tlie most recent date. There are in
dications that thu principal delays in
the lines of communication are en
countered between Tien Tsin and Pe
kin, a fact explainable by the newspa
per advices that small bands of boxers
are operating on tlie line of communi
cation of the Pekin campaign force.
Tlie fact that more than a week was
covered by tlie last interruption gives
rise to the belief that these attacks
upon the lines of communication by
boxers are more formidable than was
supposed to be possible, after the
henvy losses Inflicted upon them by the
international forces in their advance.
An undated message was received
from Minister Conger, the chiefest
item in it being tlie expectation of tlie
appearance in Pekin of some of the
members of the tsung 11 yamcu. A
natural construction to be given to this
statement Is that these ministers wish
to undertake to represent tlie Chinese
government formally in negotiations
with tlie powers. It having been found
impossible up to this moment, accord
ing to Mr. Conger's statement, to meet
any representative of the Chinese gov
ernment in Pekin who was competent
to opju up negotiations, it may be in
ferred that if these ministers actually
appear with proper credentials, one of
the problems connected with the pres
ent difficult situation in China will be
solved.

counts, before life was extinct.
