CHINESE SECRETLY FORTIFY I NIG TREATY PORTS iGREAT ACTIV ITY AT THE1 BOG-UE FORTS AT OANTON. London, Aug. 5. Everything from China is most 'uncertain, including the story regarding thie advance of cue al lies. Side by side come reports that the Japanese ate ten miles advanced, while 30,000 boxers are eight mllies 'north of Tien Tsin ready to give battle. One indication of the disunion of the allies is cent alli ed in a, long anti EBritish message from St. Petersburg, which says that 1,300 European volun teers are in 'Shanghai and that the British will probably seek an opportun ity to land troops secretly. 'Consul 'Oouns'il has received a despatch as serting that 'China is. secretly ooney ing tfoops to treaty ports where they are arming forts with the best guns. OPTIMISM CHECKED. London, Aug. 4. Europe is still in doubt as to what the Chinese situation portends, but the optimism which fol lowed the first authentic news that the members of the legations were still alive is disappearing. China continues to cherish the most hostile p&ans. The Pekin government evidently intends to treat the diplomats as hostages, and all its efforts are devoted to open nego tiations with thelpowers on that basis. Both England and France consider it the greatest mistake for any country to discuss the (situation in any form with China until the danger threaten ing China is absolutely removed. It is imipossib'.e to exaggerate this peril incited by the belief by China that the powers are not acting in absolute harmony and with a like determination in the matter of rescuing the legations and refusal to negotiate anything un til this is effected. There is good rea son to believe that Germany is the only power China fears at the present mo ment. Li Hung Chang is confident he could keep the others off by cajolery and threats, and by encouraging dis sension among them. POWER'S DON'T AGREE . There are reasons for stating that grave differences exist among the powers. This United States and France, it is understood, will be satis fied with money and apologies, but Russia, Germany 'and England will in sist on territorial' compensation also.. Moreover the United States, it is said, has objections to the projected destruc tion of Pekin and Russia has signified strong opposition.' to the favorite Brit ish project of making Canton the fu ture capital. The British government has received proof from MaoDonaM that the empress ordered the extermin ation of the foreigners, and evidence in support of that accusation has since accumulated. But Li has declared (that if tSh.e person of the empress is not held inviolable he Will throw in his lot with the anti foreign party and raise all 'China against Europe. Litte doubt is held at 'the Chinese legation (that Li will comie out on top, and it is held that the only uncertain, factor is the kaiser, who, according ito the Chinese estimate,. 5s mad enough to upset the best laid plans. y A BATTLE IMMINENT. A despatch from Tien' Tsin August 1 says it ds reported the Chinese have opened the canal bank and are flooding the country 'between Tien Tsim and Pe kin. Thirty thousand 'boxers are eight miles north of Tien Tsin and 'a baltitle is imminent. RUSSIAN TROOPS ATTACK . t.
