The correspondent further says one thing is absolutely certain that China is everywhere pre paring for war with. the powers. The same paper's correspondent at Tien iTsin, dating his message July 9, says: '.Despite the most diplomatic efforts of the allies China is slowly but surely drilling them in. On July 8 they mount ed six guns at Mr. Detriner's house at the re course and six at Mr. Decken- . suu o vino,. x' iviii Liitre ciuvcuuageuus son's villa positions they have r since maintained an incessant fire, sweeping the streets of the foreigrv . settlements and render ing position after position untenable. "Neither the Welsh fusileers nor the twelve hundred Americans who arriv ed July 5 have a single gun to reply to the Chinese. They are wholly un supplied with transports or commissar iat. Navigation of the river below Tien Tsin is wholly impracticable. The waters of the Pei Ho and Han j Hoben have been diverted by cutting J canals from the upei -waters, thus I flooding the country east and south of Pekin." A despatch to the Daily Mail from Steytelsburg says that in the last six hours of the battle outside of Tien Tsin Cossacks captured six Krupp guns and killed a large number of fleeing box ers. The Chinese lost 300 killed, in cluding General Kek. All the wounded Europeans were sent either to Vladivo stok or Port Arthur. The allies in Tien Tsin have two months' supply of food and ammunition. FALSE INFORMATION. Washington, July 13. Suspicion that the powers and press are being fed on rumors and unreliable information concerning the situation in Pekin has grown into conviction, which was con- I firmed today by a message from Consul Goodnow at Shanghai, saying: "All Pekin massacre report since June 27 doubtful." Officials, however, can find nothing on which to base a hope that any foreigners in Pekin are still alive. A despatch came today from Consul McWade at Canton stating that Li Hung Chang is ready to start for Pe kin to use his influence but had rot yet set the date for his departure. He evidently is not certain that his life will be safe in Pekin, as his enemies may be in control. BOMBARDING LEGATIONS. Washington' July 13. The state de partment has received a despatch from Consul General Goodnow, at Shanghai, ' saying that the governor of Shantung i wires that tlfe boxers and soldiers were bombarding the legations for a final attack upon the 7th of July. He is j CA.L1f ttUtlu"s l" lu2,.. l' kin. The consul adds that fears of the worst are generally entertained.

The cablegram from Consul General Goodnow announcing the beginning of the final attack on the legations at Pe kin terribly depressed the officials here. All along they have suspected that the various communications re ceied from the Chinese sources in Shanghai have been preparing the way for the announcement of the ex termination of - the foreign ministers and their wives, children, attaches and guards. The consul general's message, it is understood, is hut a repetition of the latest press reports from Shanghai but the state department has come to place a high estimate on Mr. Good now's advices. It appreciates the. fact that he does not send every piece of unreliable gossip afloat In the sensa tional news center at which he is sta tion, but uses good judgment in sift ing out the probable from the other kind of news. Moreover his advice this time is from the Chinese governor of the province wherein Shanghai is situated and it is hard to conceive of an adequate reason for the falsification of the facts by that official in the di rection of this particular report Therefore, the state department, which has all along been hopeful of the ulti mate rescue of the ministers at Pekin, has now joined European chancellories in the belief that they have all been killed. The department officials find it hardsuch course as you see fit." to estimate the value of the statement iof the consul at Canton, that Li Hung roy go northward, his coming to Taku and Tien Tsin would raise a question as to the conditions under which he undertakes to go to Pekin and inci dentally :the decision as to whether or not he should be permitted to pass the j lines would involve the decision of the I other question as to whether or not a state of war existed. REBELS DEFEATED. I Brussels, July 13. The Belgian f-- eign office has received a cable " spatch from Shanghai announcing Chinese authority that General Nich has defeated the rebels near Pekin and has relieved Prince Chln and General "Yang Lu, who were trying to defend the Europeans. ORDERED FROM,MANCHURlA. St. Petersburg, July 13. The latest official advices received here regarding the spread of the revolution move ments in Manchuria add but little ma terial information. On June 24 an edict of the emperor of China was in tercepted ordering the 'Chinese troops to unite with the boxers. Subsequnetly the governor of Moukden informed the chief engineers that the railroad line Lmust be handed over. to the Chinese and that all Russians must perman ently leave Manchuria. The engineers' protests and urgings that the governor ask for the assistance of the Russians at Port Arthur to annihilate the box ers did not avail and the Chinese troops continued to mass until the ris ing culminated in :the murders and at tacks on the railroad and towns al ready noted. EFFORT TO REACH CONGER. Washington, July 13. The Chinese minister, Wu Ting Fang, has under taken to get through a cipher cable gram from Secretary Hay to United States Minister Conger at Pekin and to have the answer brought back if Mr. Conger is alive. The message was prepared by Secretary Hay and its contents are unknown to any one save him. It was sent to Shanghai with explicit instructions from Minister Wu to spare no efforts or expense to get it into the hands of Mr. Conger. SPAIN NOT INTERESTED. Madrid, July 13.

SfthlvnS ; their duty as they find it Congressman Pearson received a tel egraphic reply yesterday morning to hist telegram of inquiry sent to Chair man Simmons Thursday. The reply came in sections, as the telegrapher made some errors in transmission, but at Its best the answer was a strange prodtict, even for the strange Mr. Simmons. The telegram is as fol Iqwsi Winston-Salem, N. C. July 13, 190) Hon. Richmond Pearson, Ashevill, N. C. : "I dreaded (corrected copy 'declir.3 ) to answer inquiries in your telegram because of its insolence (corrected copy says 'inclement tone') to me and be cause accompanied with threat to in voke authority of federal court against me. In that matter you may pursue As Congressman Pearson's telegram, published in yesterday's Gazette, con- tained no threats and "inclement"' tone, whatever that may mean, it be ing merely a straight forward question asked in a straightforward manner, the reply of Chairman Simmons is not easy to understand. Simmons' reply indicates that he will allow his henchmen to go to jail rather than answer a polite and pertinent question, or to shoulder the responsi bility for violating a law of his own making. The question that naturally presents itself to every conservative man is that if Simmons is caught vio lating his own promises, made in De half of his own party, and violating his own laws, made possible by his own ser V.e followers, what is to be the outcome of such shameless and revo hutiorary proceedings? Mr. Simmons has r hinged this state into a condition which a Spanish dictator of an easier a satnap would " hardly. .-, have dared to force .--;.'-." INTER OCEAN CASE APPEALED. Now Before the United States Court of Appeals. Chicago, July 13. The injunction suit begun by the Inter Ocean Publish ing company against tne Associated Press of New York, is now pending on appeal before the United States court of appeal for the seventh circuit. The suit was filed originally in the circuit court of Illinois, but was removed by the defendant to the United States circuit court, where the order was en tered on Saturday, June 30, modifying the original order of the state court, so as to leave the defendant restrained only from procuring or endeavoring to procure the cancellation of any con tracts with the Reuter News agency or any other news agency having con tracts with the Associated Press of Illinois, respecting the collection, dis tribution or sale of any news. The Inter Ocean filed an appeal from this order, which was granted, thus sending the case to the United States circuit court of appeals. JURY IN POWERS CASE. Georgetown, Ivy., July 11.

SAVINGS BANK CLOSES. Insurer Steal. Money and Causes a Panic New York, July 13. The directors of the Dime 'Savings Bank, of Newark, N. J., decided today to close the in stitution's doors until its affairs can be straightened out.
