STANDARD'S COR RESPO NDKNT SAYS AMERTCAiNS AND GER MANS' ORDERED TO MOVE (WITHOUT WAITING FOR BRIT ISH, BUT GENERAL GASELEE INSISTS TO STARTING ALSO. London, Aug. 4. Actual news from China is scanty, the majority of the despatches giving details which were previously known. There is great anxi ety here as to whether the relief expe dition has started or not. Several cor respondents say the dilatoriness and unpreparedness of the British has been delaying the advance and causing great dissatisfaction. The Telegraph's cor respondent at Tien Tsin in a despatch dated July 29, sas, however: "The British are ready for immediate ad vance and their transport has been ar ranged." The Standard's Tien ,Tsin correspondent, in dating a despatch Ju'ly 27, says General Gasaiee has ar rived and insists that the advance be begun immediately. He adds that the Americans and Germans have been or dered to move forward without waiting for the British. JAPANESE SUFFER. (From the Staff Correspondent of the Sun.) Tfien Tsin,, July 30, Evening, via Che- foo and Shanghai, Aug. 3, 7:15 a. m. During a reconnoissance today the .Ta.Ta.nese troons struck the enemy in a village two miles beyond 'the Hsiku arsenal. The Chinese were in consid erable force and occupied the huts with loopholed walls. When the ad vance guard of the Japanese ware only fifty yards distant the Chinese opened fire. The engagemient was very briex, and after having 30 casualties the Jap anese retired. The corwmanders of the' troops of the various nations arerusnmg prep.ra.truus for a general advance August 1.

A despatch from Chefoo says it is understood that a conference has been held at Pekin be tween the ministers and the Chinese government to arrange for the depar ture of the members of the legations for Tien Tsin. REPORTS FROM PEKIN. Chefoo, July 26. The latest reports from Pekin are brought hy disaffected officers of the -Chinese army and are considered reliable. The officers left Pekin July ,5. They say anarchy has reigned in Pekin for months and the streets ran with blood, the Chinmen fighting among themselves. Jung Lu commander of 'the Chinese: forces, and Prince Ching espoused the cause of the foreigners and endeavored with a part of the army loyal to them- to expel the boxers. The latter, with a -majority of the limiperiar troops under the anti foreign leaders Prince Tuan and Gen eral Tung Fu Sian, were victorious and Jung Lu land Prince Ching with their followers were made prisoners in the yamen. Prince Tuan and General Tung Fu Sian issued edicts exhorting the Chinese ito kill foreigners and na tive Christians. One officer says there w-are 16 00 troops in Pekin, including Tungs army, and 8,000 more at Yung Tsun. Soldiers hold all streets within a mile of the 3e gations. Foreign troops when the of ficers left Pekin burned and abandon ed the Chenmen gate.

Reports from Chinese sources are to the effect that oil the legation forces were killed . Chinamen caught a messenger who was trying to leave the legations July 10 with the foMowing message: "To I any foreign commander:- Make all haste df you intend to save us. We can hold out but -a few days longer." ANOTHER MESSAGE. Chefoo, Aug. 1. Governor Yuan Ki states that he has received a note from the tsung li yamen, dated the 30th, reporting that .the ministers at the German legations and others were well and relations with the govern -imtemit were friendly. It was arranging measures to protect the ministers to Tien Tsin. HELD A HOSTAGES. Shanghai, Aug. 3. Liu Kun Yl vice roy of Nankin, and Sheng, administra tor of telegraphs and railways, and 'taotai of Shanghai, both declare offi cially that the foreign ministers are held by the Chinese government as hostages, and if the allies march to Pekin they will be killed. It is stated that only Russians and Japanese, 23, 000' strong, are storting for Pekin. THE MESSAGE GENUINE. Washington, Aug. 3. The state de partment today issued- the following: "The state department has received a despatch from Fowler, consul at Che foo dated August 2, stating that when he learned from the Shanghai ipapers that doubts were entertained of the genuineness of the Conger cipher tele gram he wired the governor of Shan Tung to send him the original by cour ier. The governor at once complied, sending a special postman. He deliv ered .to Fowler the original Conger cipher despatch. It was signed by Conger and dated the 17th of July, pre cisely the same as the message receiv ed at the state departmnt, with several words prefixed which came in an unim- telligible form to the 'Chinese legation here. REPORT FROM REMEY. The navy department has received the following cable from Remey: 'Takuv Aug. 1. -Chaffee reports 800 Japanese scouting toward PeiTangliost three men kilHed and twenty-five wounded. Enemy in trenches and loop-holed houses." Bad news came this morning from Remey, indicating that serious resist ance has developed against the ad vance pekm relief column. -It as re garded here as positive proof that the relief column will have some lively fighting ahead. A feeling akin to indignation is ex cited by the press report from Tien Tsin of the apparent indifference of the commanders' there -to the critical state of -the legation ers at Pekin. The war department officials are satisfied that Chaffee is blameless, for undoubtedly he is exercising all his influence with .the other commanders to get the; col uiwn in motion. iSeoretary Hay and Minister Wu add ed another score to (their credit today when .the despatch from Consul Fow ler at Chefco apparently removed aM doubt as to the authenticity of the fa mous cipher Conger despatch. Minister Wu and the German aimbas sador were at the state department in quest of information, haVing, as they said, no news' themselves. FLANK MOVEMENT. New York, Aug. 3. A despatch from Shanghai says: Trustworthy reports reach me that Chinese1 trops are isteadily advancing northward from the Yang Tse valley and also f rom the south and may attack and flank the European armies.
