ihovtlng that this was tho native walled
elty cleared up an ambiguity that was con
tained In tho admiral's dispatch and swept
iway tho lost doubt In the olllelal mind an
to tho Importance of the victory. The hrn
tlle Chinese have been 'driven out of tho
ihclter of tho city Into the open plain and
tho allied force h.is quadrupled Its crtlcloncy
In comba; by placing the Chlnroe In this
position. It le not doubted thnt tho forward
movement on Pckin will begin ae soon as
Iho cavalry contingent, huj arrived from
Japan, which should bo within a, day or two.
Tho rnoral'cffect cf the defeat of the nllles
it Tien Tdn would hirye been terrible, ac
cording to army officers, and would have
boon followed by tho pxtmsinu of the
"Boxer" revolt to nil parts of China. Kvcn
tbo Chlncso minister now .thlnkn that thU
blow has done much to crush the rebellion,
lie already talks Of peneo sonim!ssons In a
most significant way.
Thero wus no change In tb omclal situa
tion this morning. Ponding tho nrrlvnl of
tho president, It was not deemed proper to
Issue any orders to the troopa. The Imprcn
ilon gains ground that tho good news of the
morning has relieved the situation to the ex
tent that tho cabinet mcutlng called for this
afternoon will not be obliged to deal with
emergency measured,
Tho prcspect of an extra session cf con
gress haa receded Into Jho background with
tho other unpleasant contingencies which
wero to the foro yesterday. Tho financial
officers of tho army, the- paymaster general
and the quartermaster general, say they
have enough money to meet present emer
gencies and that, after all, would bo tho only
consideration that would Involve nn extra

LONDON, July 17. Eurorean Journals aro
today Indulging In a great deal of wild talk,
crediting the powers with having decided to
lay I'cliln In ashes, removing the capital to
Canton nnd hang tho empress and Prince
Tuan, but tho writers fall to take Into ac
count the difficulties which would attend
ttich undertakings. Howovor, the chan
celloi'Ico fully recognize the magnitude of
tho tnsl; confronting. tbo great powors. As
a matter of fact, na has already been pointed
out In theso dispatches, tho only thought
for tho moment of tho powers Is how best
to reach I'ckln. Once thero, they can bo
depended upon, according to tho best om
clal Information, to exact whatever penalty
appears to bo the most striking nnd effective.
Thin morning's news of the success of
the allied forces at Tien Tain, though that
succcra has been dearly bought, appears to
clear the air somewhat. This victory over
tho Chinese, It la hoped, will enable the
nllles to resume preparations for an ad
vnnce, especially dh today It Is officially an
nounced thnt tho Japanese force of 22,000
will all be disembarked by July 19 at the
latest. The suggestion of scattering tho
forces throughtout China In pursuit of tho
"Boxers" emanate wholly from Irrespons
ible quarters. In official circles there Is a
full realization of the necessity of having
the coast towns occupied nnd secure before
proceeding to Pekln. Tho only courso op?n
to the powers Is to remain In tho capital
until fanataclsra wears Itself out and thn
elements of nn orderly native government
begin to emerge.
According to a Shanghai dispatch pub
lished here today 100,000 Chlncso troops,
nrmcd with Mauser rifles and modern
nrtljlery, aro encamped at three points
within forty miles of Shanghai, ready to
bcslcgo the town In the event of an attack
by tho Europeans upon the Woo Sung forts.
According to a telegram from Cho Foq
received here today 170 of the allied troops
were killed In the assault on the native city
of Tien Tsln.

C'liliiu In I'mtt'CtliiK
I'VirelKiiern.
WASIIIN'OTON', July 17. The Chlncso
minister has received a illpntch from tho
minister nt London, authenticated hy ShenR,
the Imperial Insp.clor of pos s nnd to'egrapha
at Shaughul, nnd by two viceroys, dcciarlnc
that the foreigners In I'ckln were safe on
July 9 nnd were receiving the protection of
the government. ThU Is two days after tho
reported massacre. Minister Tu has laid
tho message before Secretary Hay.
The text of the dispatch received by Min
ister Wu this morning nnd by him laid be
fore Secretary liny Is ns follows;
"Tho utmost effort!! have been made to
protect forrlpn ministers, who were well on
the 13th (Chlncso calendar, corresponding to
our July 9). If Tlon Tsln city should bo
destroyed It would be dlmcutt to restore tho
tamo In 100 yenrs. Itcqucst tho powers to
preserve 11, as tho consequences would affect
Chinese nnd foreign commerce. Earl LI
Hung Chang Is transferred to North China
as viceroy of Chl-M. l'lcnso transmit this
dispatch to tho ministers at other capitals."
This dispatch, which Is dated July 1C, was
sinned by Viceroys l.Iu Kun Yl and Chang
Chin Tung of Nanking and Wu-Chang, re
spectively, nnd also by Shcng, director of
posts nnd telegraphs at Shnnghal, It wns
addressed to tho Chinese minister In London
and by him transmitted to Minister Wu
under today's date.
Minister Cnlln nn Mr. liny.
Minister Wu received tho dispatch about
11 o'clock this morning and was greatly
pleased at this satisfactory turn of events.
He stnrted at onco for tho State department,
where he remained with Secretary Hay for
somo time. Besides presenting to Mr. Hay
tho contents of his dispatch, Minister Wu
also ofHclnlly executed tho direction for an
appeal to the powers not to destroy the
walled city of Tlcn Tsln, So far ns the
United States Is concerned, there has been
no purposo wantonly to destroy this city,
although tho latest news from the scene of
action Indicates that tho walls themselves
have been battered down and u considerable
porllon of tho city destroyed. Mr. Wu said
afterward that ho feared tho destruction of
tho city wns little short of complete.
The minister expressed tho most complcto
confidence In tho accuracy of tho message,
showing that tho foreign ministers wero well
on tho 9th Inst. When a bystauder ex
pressed some doubt on this subject Mr. Wu
Inquired with some warmth: "Why Is It
that you believe tho exaggerated reports
coming from unknown sources and yet you
choose to doubt this report, signed by our
highest ofllclnls and containing Inherent evi
dence of accuracy?"
The minister went on to show thnt this
dispatch contained three distinct statements.
One of them, tho appointment of Li Hung
Chang as viceroy of Chi LI, hail been con
firmed by tho Stato flepartmcnt. Moreover,
ho said, all three statements bore evidence
of having originated at Pekln, including that
as to LI Hung Chang, whose appointment
necessarily must orlglnato with tho govern
ment at Pekln.
The appointment of Earl LI as viceroy of
Chi LI Is considered by Minister Wu as one
of the most Important developments In tho
entire situation, Chi I.I Is tho grea prov
ince 'ih which Piikin, J? located, ttml . is the
very heart of the Boxer movement, so tha
the, great' viceroy ' now! hssunles supreme
power at the point of greatest danger. Min
ister Wu is satisfied that If LI Hung Chang
bad been at Pekln there would have been
no such outbreak as has occurred, as tho
viceroy is a stern military man who believes
in nipping such movements In tho bud.
Cloud of Dotilit.
Tho State department offlclals aro anxious
to accopt Wu'b message ns accurate, but
thore are some clouds of doubt about It.
The question nnturally arises, as It has many
umes in tno last two wcek3, If the Chinese
government can communicate ,in this way
with Its representatives abroad, why can It
not permit the foreign ministers represented
to bo under Its protection also to communl-
cato with their governments? In answer to
tho other question, as to what purposo would
oe served by a misrepresentation of facts
in this fashion, It Is pointed out that one re
sult desired hy tho Chlncso would bo the
preservation of Tlcn Tsln and another would
be tho abatement of the popular resent
ment against tho Chlncso temporarily at
leant.
LI Hung Chang will replace as viceroy of
the great province of Chi LI a man who has
been notoriously antl-forcign In his senti
ments and actions. Tho summons to LI Is
regarded as a hopeful sign. It could hnvo
been Inspired by two motives; first, the
Brent viceroy may havo been called to Pekln
by tho Imperial government In order that It
might avail Itself of his wisdom and experl
onco with foreigners to extricate It from tho
present position. Tho second motive, and
uno not so promlolng for a speedy settle
ment of tho trouble, Is that Karl LI has
been called to establish communication with
tho foreign commanders nnd diplomatic rep
resentatives, with tho dellberato purposo of
sowing dissension nmong them and paralyz
ing all efforts at Joint action. The officials
here aro perfectly1 satisfied that any such
move as this would como to naught, being
tlnroughly sure now that no matter what
doubt may have been entertained nt ono
stago Hach and every one of the great paw
el's represented In tho Hold In China Is
loyally living up to Its pledge to attain the
objects set out In Secretary Hay's identical
note to the powers. This statement Is true
ao to Hussla, as well as to tho other pow
ers, according to tho best authority.
News cf the transfer of LI Hung Chang to
tho mrth camo to tho Stato department not
nly from .Minister Wu, hut In a cablegram
from Consul General Goodnow at Shanghai,
It Is stated that LI Hung Chang hn3 started
'rom Canton on his way to Pekln. It Is ex
pected that ho will land at Taku, or nt
Ihnn Hal Kwan, a port on tho gulf of
I'cJhlll, connoctod hy n go-d road with
I'ekln. If the vlcercy can get Into Pekln he
ilio can enrry racesagco to tho foreign
mlnla'crs If they nru at III nllvo and without
loubt the State department, 3 woll as tho
European prlmo ministers, will sclzo the
pportunlty to mako rne nioro tent of tho
truth of the latest reports respecting tho
safety of tho logatloners.

ADVICfe OF MINISTER WU
(Hvp Ills Opinion nn In I low (lie
I'rpxrnt situation Should
lip Met.
WASHINGTON, July 17. The news of the
fall of Tlcn Tsln )vas conveyed to the Chi
nese minister early today. Ho was deeply
Interested, but oUnccd llttlo surprise at tho
outccmo, as he had looked upon tho result
as lnovltable. Ho was surprised that any
cflectlvei resistance had been mado on the
first day of tho fighting,
Mr. Wu Is remaining In practical seclu
sion. He Is anxious to get away nnd take
a most needed rest, but ho fecit, that he
cannot do so wbllo a crlils Is on. When
seen today ho was Induced to answer the
following direct question:
"IJased on your knowledge of the situa
tion and familiarity with Chlncso character
and affairs, how would you advise, tho pres
ent situation be mct7"
The minister pondered for n time and then
said;
"The first essential In dealing with the
present sltuatlou Is to maintain calm In the
midst of the feverish excitement nnd to
no!d Imsly conclusions, based upon a multi
tude of conflicting rpports. To bo sure, It
appears that fighting has occurred at Tl n
Tsln. Uut many of tho moat vital features
of this affair aro lacking. Thole Is uoth
ing to show the steps taken by tho viceroy
or tho Taotno to maintain order and pre
vent bloodshed.
"It s clear that Tien Tsln Is cut off
from Pckin, so that at most this can be but
n local demonstration and not one attrlbuut
oblo to the government of China.
"The question Is how to meet the actual
occurrences In China. Tho first sugges
tion Is to send great bodies of troops, and
on that ray position makes It Impossible for
mo to expresu an, opinion. But this much
at least seoms plain to mo; That with any
armed force iuero should go also a civil
officer or officers, .men ot the very highest
ability and Intelligence. That would af
ford an opportunity to learn whether there
was any need of flghtlne. The purposes
nnd the policy on each side could bo made
plain and there, could be nn intelligent un
derstanding ot each other beforo a recourse
to bloodshed."
The minister regards this ao tho only
tangible cvldcnco of China's policy and
proof positive that China Is again?: war at
this time.
