Emperor May be Imprisoned in For bidden City. SCARCITY SEEM TO OF NEWS WOULD BREAK INDICATE DOWN OF TELEGRAPH, AND EVENTS MAY HAVE TRANSPIR ED TO CAUSE POWERS TO DE !CLARE FORMAL. W It. London, Aug. 21. The scantiness of news from China ds ascribed to a breakdown of the land telegraph to Pekin. The most recent official de spatch received from Europe was sent to Rome by, the commander of the Ital ian cruiser 'Fiorah'ersc, -who cabling from Taku, says: "Fighting continued at Pekin August 18. "Very urgent requests are being made for tb)& despatch of further rein forcements from Taku to Pekin. - Four hundred Italian marines have started for the capital by forced marches." .Washington, Aug. 20 .-information. was received today from a number Of official sources jthat shows fighting has not ceased' with Pekin' s capture by the aes.::-;.Tiese ady$c afjKW; ihdtjate .VbMfae- "aU:eihai''ji: ended the . Chiniese ytroubjes and there is now quite as mucn oouit ana TinceT tainty concerning the attitude of the imperiar govermfiient as there was be fore the legations were relieved.. No officials here arte- able to say whether war between China and the powers has been avoided. The situation Is almost as critica!! as at was a week ago ana events may have occurred before this that will force the European governments with Japan and the United States to enter Into a formal war with China. There is no positive evidence that the im perial authorities did not oppose by forde of arms the entry of the allies into Pekin. While the comtparatively slight opposition to the relief column would indicate the imperial army did. not participate dn the d'efense of the capital there can be no doubt that some imperial troops .were engaged. Advices today Indicate that there was a collision between the defense of the city and some of the Imperial author ities, for the Chinese troops fell back to the imperial city and then to the strongly fortified inner or -forbidden city when the allies enteflad the gates of Pekini and were apparently admit ted by these-insidfet. ; , No definite iintormatdon has been re ceived as to the wherteabouts of the empress dowager, although these offi cial messages Indicate-that she fled to Sian Fu, the capital of Shansl prov ince, a few days before Pekin was tak en. As to the emperor there 4s reason to suppose that if he is alive he is in the Imperial palace in the forbidden city. The whJereabou'ts of Prince" Tuan, the real conspirator in the anti-foreign ris ings, are involved In mystery.. The na tions have a heavy score to settte with Tuan and tfie pinion -'here.1 is that he wffl be dealt with severely. ' SENTIMENT SPREADING. Washington, Aug. 20 -The-following was received by the Japanese minister today from th!e (foreign- office, dated August 20: "The Japanese consul tele graphs under date of August 18 as fol lows: 'From the interior it is reported that In Tong Kaw Fu and Lung Yuan several Christian .chapels were de stroyed by mobs.

A sim ilar application has been made by Earl Li to all the powers Interested.
