'It is reported that the Chinese minister here received this afternoon from Director of Tel'efeTaphs Sheng a despatch, dated Shanghai, July 27, saying that an imperial decree, dated the 24th, states that all foreign representatives with the exception of Baron von Ketteller haviei found safety' and are unharmed. The decree adds: "Provisions in the shape of vegetables, fruits, etc.,-are to he supplied to the legations in order to show our cour tesy." iSheng requests that a copy of this despatch be furnished to the Chinese ministers at St. Petersburg, Berlin, Paris and Washington. Washington, July 27.-Late this ev ening it was learned that- two de spatches from Admiral Remey were considered at the cabinet council to day. The contents of one was only partly divulged while the other was wholly suppressed. A statemieint is contained in one of the despatches that there were only 28,fl0 allied troops on Chinese soil caused much disappoint ment. It is understood that Remey stated in his despatches that the for eign commanders had decided on Mon day that there ' were enough allied troops at Tien Tsm to justify an im mediate advance, but owing to the in ability of the foreign commanders to agree on a commander in chief of the allied forces they deemed it proper to await the arrival of General Chaffee. Later, however, according to Remey's despatches, news was. received at Tien Tsin that heavy reinforcements of Chinese troops were being pushed to Pekin and that ki consequence an im mediate attack on the capital meant certain defeat. It therefore was de termined to wait until a sufficient number of foreign reinforcements had arrived, thus creating an indefinite de lay. LITTLE HiBUP FROM RUSSIA. .London, July 28. Several Shanghai correspondents state1 that Russian help in 'China can only be small. St. Pet ersburg despatches indicate that the Russians have hands full protecting their Chinese frontier. LETTER FOR McDp" ALD. "Shanghai, July 27. A letter just re ceived here from SiT Claude MacDon ald, dated Pe&in, July 6, follows: " 'We are receiving no assistance from the authorities. Three legations are still standing, including the Brit ish. We also hold part of the city walls. The Chinese are , shelling us from the city with a three-inch gun and some smaller ones and are snip ing us. We may be annihilated any day. Our ammunition and food are short. We would have perished by this time only the Chinese are cowards and have no organized plan of attack. If we are not pressed we may hold out a fortnignt longer; otherwise fou days at the utmost. I anticipate only slight resistance to the relief force.' ' Sir Claude concludes by advising the Telief force to approach by the eastern gate or by way of the river. "The losses of the foreigner in Pe kin up to Jul" 6 vere ",-rty killed and eighty wounded." Some' of the statements above are strikingly similar .to the published ver sion of Sir Claude MaoDonalcTs letter of July 4.

T I A were the same, according to the letters of both dase. As lending color to the suggestion that the communications are identical it may be stated that the Belgian foreign office his morning re ceived a dispatch from Shanghai under today's date, mentioning the receipt of a letter from Sir Claude MaotDonald dated July 4, in. which it was stated that the besieged foreigners in 'Pekin were reduced to horseflesh. The Ger man consul at Shanghai advises that a servant of the German minister at Pe kin, who left July 9, states that the British legation was only attacked at night and if resupplied he believed he could hold out. DEIHP LAID PLOT. London; July 2. The" alleged depart ure of the ministers from Pekin has led to a reassertion of the belief that the story is part of a deep-laid plan by China to conceal the date of the mas sacre at Pekin, the suggestion, being that- Chinese officials wilt claim- that the) ministers left Pekin under a strong escort but were ambushed and massacred "by Boxers en route to Tien Tsin. However, although it is still be lieved a massacre has occurred of the foTeiga colony of Pekin, the disposition nSow is to -think the ministers were somehow rescued, froim a tragic fate. CHINESE: PROPOSITION REFUSED. Washington, July 27. The. United States government has absolutely re fused the Chinese proposition to sus-. pend military operations against Pe kitt in return for the delivery at Tien Tsin of the foreign ministers. CHINAMEN WILL LEAVE. New York, July 27. Many of the Chinamen of this city who fear that revenge will be taken on them for the outrages of Boxers in China are ar ranging: to leave the city, but they are not going toChina. The island of CuJba is the haven of safety which they have in view and inducements for them to go there are not wanting. The amount of Spanish money which is in circulation lit Chinatown: is proof of the success of the Chinamen who have re cently returned irom the island. The stories they tell of profitable work on 'the tolbacco plantations and the consid erate treatment they received from tne Spaniards ,nd Cubans is having its ef fect on those who are anxious to leave this city. The prospect of a big tobac co crop is responsible for the establish ment of several cigar factories. It is said that - great many Chinese will be sent to plantations in which different Chinamen' of this city are interested. STAJTION1S PILLAGED. Paris, July 27. The consul at Han kow telegraphs to the foreign office that two military stations at Sze Chu3n have been pillaged and the Lazarist estajblishments burned. The despatch adds that the viceroys spontaneously took measures to restore order. (MORE MISSION? ARIES KUiLDEJP .

FOREEGERS WHO FOUGHT IN RANKS TO BE ALLOWED TO RE TURN HOME AND POLITICAL PRISONERS RElEASE:D--OPEN-TNG ERA OF PROSPERITY FOR ' REPUBLIC. New York, July 27. A despatch from Panama says: "A treaty of peace 'between the gov ernment and the revolutionists has been signed. This action followed di rectly after the most desperate battle of the entire revolution, in which the losses on each side were very heavy. Owing it is believed to some, misunder standing of the terms of the armistice brought about 'by the American apd English consuls, the insurgents sud denly renewed their attacks upon the" suburbs of Panama. The fighting lasted eleven hours, with the exception of only a few minutes interval, and was very heavy from start to finish. The rebel troops made charge after change, upon the trenches of the gov ernment forces, pushing forward with remarkable bravery and with a reck lessness approaching closely to mad ness Every assault was repulsed with a. lescrliie loss.' of" life," hut the -'rebels were undaunted, and with extraordin ary courage and renewed vigor, repeat ed the attacks again and again.. These desperate assaults were kept up all night long and were met with equally brave resistance by the regulars. In one of the intrenchments defended by a detachment composed almost entire ly of young men from this city, nearly every one of the defenders was killed or badly wounded. It was 6 o'clock Thursday morning when the revolu tionists were -finally compelled to give up their attacks and forced to retreat to the positions they held when the armistice was declared. The tide of battle was turned against them by the arrival of an express train from Colon of 800 fresh troops to reinforce the gov ernment. These gave the regulars the advantage and the rebels retired, after -eleven hours of such fierce fighting as the isthmus never saw before. The appearance of the battle ground after cessation of hostilities can be bet ter imagined 'than described. Dead and dying men were lying all along the Caledonia road, beyond the railroad bridge, for half a mile, sometimes scattered a few feet apart and more often in heaps, packed closely togeth er. How many 3'ere killed during the night is not yet known, but the num ber will reach into the hundreds. Tfie exact loss may never be known, for many of the wounded men crawled into out of the way thickets. As quickly as possible the Red Cross corps, aided by the ambulance corps oZ the British cruiser Leander, began gathering up an'd attending to the wounded. Some of the wounded were taken to , the Red Cross hospital, al ready crowded with patients from the previous battles. Others were carried to the Panama Canal company's hos pital, where they were cared for by all available surgeons. Sailors from the Leander were also sent out to pick up the dead. Cart load after cart load of corpses was gathered together and cremated. Dr. Carlos Hendoza, secretary gen eral of the revolutionary movement, went to the old station of the Panama railroad under a flag of truce at noon. He met there General Alban, governor of Panama, and discussed with him terms of a treaty of peace between the CALL AND SEE That we are al ways prepared - to supply you with the best Wines and Whiskies... both imported and domestic at the Boston Saloon - -i? - CAEB & WABD, Props. 23.

They agree to deliver up all arms, am munition and ships in their possession. The government grants full ' amnesty to all the revolutionists and the offi cers are permitted to retain thei swords. Foreigners who may have fought in the insurgents' ranks are to be allowed to return to their homes. Ail political prisoners held in Panama phave been released. Excitement in the city is already gradually subsiding and there is general rejoicing that the fighting has. ended without the threat ened bombardment of Panama. REBELS BADLY DEFEATED. Kingston, Jamaica, July 27. The Colombian consul general here,Mr. For wood, gave out the statement today that he had received a despatch from the governor of the department of Bolivar saying that the rebels had been badly defeated at Santander, that the departments of Oauca, Antioqua, Cuadinamarca and Bogota, were quiet and in possession of the government and that in Tolma, the rebels were en tirely surrounded by the government troops. MANY LIVES SACRIFICED. -Colon, July 27.-The liberal rebellion in this department has ended, after the sacrifice of more than 600 lives, the lib erals having been the greatest suffer ers, while the wounded numbered many hundreds. Dr. Mendoza, repre senting the liberals, and General Al- ! ban arranged yesterday for a cessa tion of hostilities, the Colombian lib erals being pledged to surrender their arms, and being guaranteed their free dom from prosecution and the reten tion of all political rights. The for eigners who took sides with the rebels are to be banished- within a week. General Herrera and Dr. Paras, who were active in the revolutionary inter ests, have already left Panama. The work of burying the dead on both sides is in progress. Panama has been plunged into the deepest mourning by the loss of many of its most prominent men. On both sides in this conflict the armies were provided with arms of the latest models. Colon has been tran quil throughout the rebellion. YESTERDAY'S LEAGUE GAMES.

Hendergonyille Alive to trie Vital Is sue of Political Liberty. JUDGE ADAMS SALUTES THE "UN TERRIFIED REPUBLICANS' QT HENDERSON A PICTURE OF PRESIDENT McKINELEY CAR RIED AT THE HEAD OF THE PROCESSION. Hendersonville, N. C. July 27. The republicans held a rally in this city to day. The occasion waa one to make the heart feel glad! with exceeding gneat Joy. It took one back to the days of '94 when a wave of republi canism swept things clean from the mountains to the seaehore. It bad rained last night and lowering clouds shut out the sun throughout pr.vrically the entire day, but ordinary rain can not dampen the dauntlesstrue blue re publicanism of Henderson. Not less than five hundred people, practically all of whom were vo'Brs, took part in the parade. The proces sion was formed at the station and af ter traversing the principal streets stopped in the grove at the academy, where the speaking wae held. A huge picture of President McKinley was carried at the head of the procession. Then came the draped carriages, in which rode the speakers and others, the Hendersonville band, horeelbaclc riders and vehicles- The men of a numlber of the townships carried large Wnners on which were inscribed the number of riders from that particular section &nd the words, "We demand a free election and a fair count. Our women shall be protected," or "For Adams, Honesty and Liberty." After the crowd had reached Lhe academy ground the first notable dem onstration occurred when the picture of the president was placed on the etaad erected for the speakers. The oper'ng address was delivered by Horn. Spen cer. Adams, republican candidate for governor. Judge Adams, after be'ag introduced by O. V. F. Blythe, began by saying that he had otften heard of the unterrified republicanism of Hen derson' county, but! now realized that the half had not been told. He could look into the faces of the people and tell they would never surrender 'their liberties without a struggle. The democratic party was referred to as a one-eyed party with only one issue, the negro, and this issue was the only one discussed by them. It was a party of affidavits 'because the people would not credit any ordinary statement they might make'. "They call Aycock a second "Vance," exclaimed Judge Ad ams, "but who ever heard of Vance asking the people to elect him to an office by force or fraud?" It was a treat to hear Judge Adams prove that there were more negroes in ..the demo cratic woodpile than anywhere else. He described Josephus Daniels and Sim mons listening with wrapt attention to the negro Turner ae he spoke in. the national democratic convention, while Aycock was in the white -counties of the west crying down with the negro. He read a letter Simmons had written to Peter Harding, a democratic negro, in which the democratic chairman en joined the democratic negro to be up an- doing early and late that the dem ocrats might be successful. He spoke of .the fact that the democrats have ap pointed more than three hundred ne- (Continued on fifth page:) Don't Get Hot standing over a hot tove In a hot kitchen.
