Confidence In Assurances from
ihiuvses Sources
London, .Tune 29. The War Office has
i(H-fived . the 'following dispatch "from
c' -ir! Dorward at Chefoo:
('lu'ftio, June 28, 11:33 a. im. Seymour
ir ioved. All British troops now at
T on Tsui' ' DORWARD.
The Gorman consul -at Chefoo also
tt-lcgr.-iphs that Vice Admiral Seymour is
Tien Tsin.
The deepest alarm over the fate of the
ministers to Pekin, whom Admiral Sey
;r..uir f ailtxl to rescue, , is growing 'here
iv. ihrmighout Kurope. The optimistic
reports from. Chefoo that the envoys
aw i f wiiih Seymour prove to be untrue.
The anxiety in Washington because
Minister Conger lias not been heard from
duplicated here owing to the absence
r news from Sir- Claud MaeDonald, file
British minister. There was a hope
that the German Commander at Taku
was right in saying the envoys were
wii.h Seymour, 'but it is dispelled.
It is reported that Admiral Seymour
h;id expressed t lie belief before he set
cut to relieve Pekin that, even if the
.i'oregti legations there were captured, th
ministers and their associates would-not
"ue niass;i creed, but 'might 'be taken into
lite -interior and held as hostage's.
Their whereabouts -is .entirely a -matter
of conjecture, and the highest officials
in the various European capitals are
i'ld'rof forebodings as to their 1'ate.
Not withstanding the -repeated Chinese
assurances that the ministers are alive,
ir is believed' here, and time strengthens
the belief, that all have been assassi
nated, or, if any of them have escaped
from the boseiged capital, they will be
killed before relief -can come.
The impression is growing, even -in
conservative circles, that the early le
norts from China were -correct, and that
tlu
'ministers
were annihilated m one

Pekin.
A dispatch from Paris says that For
eign Minister Delcasse -informed -'the
cabinet today that the Chinese ambas
sadors to France had communicated a
cablegram
received by him. yesterday in
which Li Hung Chang gives assurances
that the foreign ministers to China are
t welve miles from Tien Tsin.
1 he -'Viceroy of Yunnan cables that M.
Francois., the French -consul at Lang
("how, whose life was supposed to be
in danger for a while, has arrived safely
at a point midway on the way to Ton
quin. It is reported here that Seymour has
sent a message by a legation employe,
urgently, recommending strong British
reinforcements unless Russia is to be
allowed to dominate. Undoubtedly seri
ous disagreements had sprang np be
tween Admiral Seymour and the Rus
sian general who acted as chief of staff,
supported by the French -commander.
Gratification is felt here over the news
that a strong force is pushing on toward
Pekin.
The fight of the Americans and British
is described as (magnificent at the cap
ture of Tien Tsin. After the relieving
t -wree pushed on to succor Admiral Sey
mour, Chinese regulars, under Genera1!
Nieh, says a. dispatch from Shanghai,
again attacked Tien Tsin fiercely and
bombarded the foreign settlement with
a terrible fire. -
Colonel Dorward, British, commanded
the column that relieved Admiral Sey
mour. American marines participated
in the achievement. The Admiral was
found intrenched and -surrounded by im--mense
masses of Chinese, W"ho were
driven off 'by the relieving column -after
a brisk firrht. His men had -imade a bril
liant resistance, never failing in eoiurage
for fifteen days of continuous fighting.
A dispatch from Shanghai says the
China Merchants Company has trans
ferred fifteen of its steamers to the
British flag. It has also placed five ves
sels under the protection of the Ameri
can flag and three under the flag of
Germany.
A dispatch from. Hong Kong says the
Viceroy bas -called out the militia of
Kwang province to be an readiness fca
any emergency that -may arise.

ONE FAINT HOPE
There ITIay Be "Some One" In Pekin
Awaiting the Relief Foree
London, June 29. The fact that a
Jarge international force is on its way
to Pekin is taken in London to mean
, that the commanders at Taku and Tien
j Tsin consider "some one" at the capital
') stands in need of relief, so it is ac
f eepted as supporting the hope that the
legations have been Jiept in safety there.
But it is impossible to deduce, a satisfac
tory conclusion from the absolutely an
tagonistic telegrams, tne most contra
dictory of which appear to emanate from
the same source, the viceroy of Nankin.
The viceroy's strange report that the
ministers were arranging peace terrus re
mains unexplained.
The general tenor of the. news is re
garded as showing that the ferment may
be cooling and that the Chinese govern
ment is possibly preparing; to disavow
th'1 promoters of the outbreak- Hong
Kong reports that the viceroy of Ivwang
' province has called .out the militia
for service in ease of emergency. The
-householders are being compelled to pay"
for -the cost of the -mobilization,
According to a dispatch from . Yoko-h-iiiia,
divided opinions were expressed
at yesterday's meeting of the Japanese
cabinet. - The ministers of war and
marine and their sunporters urged that
Japan should undertake the suppres
sion of the rebels in China, while another
section contended that Japan ought to
f-onfine her efforts- to the protection of
foreigners. - -
Advices from St. Petersburg report
awiondal activity in naval circles. The.
reserve, at appears, is about to be called
out and ten torpedo boats are being pre
pared tor immediate dispatch to rein
force the. Russian 1'acific squadron. ,
French Consul and Party Safe
Paris, June 29. The minister of for
eign affairs, M. Delcasse, informed the
cabinet council today thafev the viceroy
of Yunnan had telegraphed -that M.
Francois, the French- consul, and his
party, who left Yunnan Sen June 24,
had reached Torig Hai, half way to
Tonquin, June 27,' safely. The viceroy,
it was further announced, had caused
the ring-leaders of the mob which at
tacked the Francois party June 7 to be
beheaded.
The French government, M. Delcasse
further said, was du receipt of a cable
dispatch saying the viceroys of Nankin
and Hankow guaranteed the safety of
foreigners in the central and southern
provinces, "where order, it is asserted,
has thus far been undisturbed.
Later it was announced that the
Ch inese legation here had communicated
to the French government the text of
a document cabled by the viceroys of
Xankin and Hankow June 27, which is
an agreement between the viceroys and
consuls at Shanghai whereby, subject to
certain conditions, the vicerovs under
take to protect the missionaries and for
eign -merchants in southern and eastern
China. The document, which was sent
for ratification by M. Delcasse, consists
of nine articles.
Admiral Seymour's Losses
London, June 29. In the House of
Commons today the parliamentary secre
tary of the Foreign Office, Mr. WilMnm
St. John Broderick, announced that the

force had returned to Tien Tsin June 20,

Beyts, I loyal marines, and twenty-four
men.
Wounded Seven officers and ninety
one men.
- Mr. Broderick added that the returns
of the foreign casualties were incomplete,

two men killed and 212 men wounded.
In conclusion Mr. Broderick said that
the most recent reports which had
reached the government pointed to the
legationers being still at Pekin.

a department also was advised this
.,- that Admiral Ilemey, on 4he
B.wukly.i. has arrived at Ilong Kong en
ionic to Taku. The Brooklyn will sail
tomorrow for Taku va Nagasaki.
Washiuglou, June 29 Admiral. Kempff
today acknowledged the error he had
made in reporting the presence of the
foreign ministers witli Admiral H y
mour's column eight miles out from Tien
Tsin. His cablegram this morning ad
mits that there is no knowledge of their
whereabouts and it is a-ssumed that the
error in the rirst report anise from the
Admiral'.s acceptance :f a rumor that
was .very geneiaily current at the time
the cablegram-was sent.
The fact that the Admiral's message
is d.-vted Chefoo today warrants the sup
i" isition t i.ir telegraphic communication
has been restored- at that point and
T aku, where the foreign fleet lies. There
is, however, a possibility that the Ad
miral couid get a dispauh across from
Taku to Chefoo on the same date by
pushing the Yorklown, whkh has betn
used as a dispatch b.iat.
Admiral Kemp fit's news has added to
the. depression in official quarters. ;
Admiral Ilemey is pushing the Brook
lyn 'with -all di-patch toward Taku and
he cables that die will ail from Hong
Kong northward tomorrow. His main
care will be to arrive at Taku with full
coal bunkers, thus .making sure that the
Brooklyn will be (ready for any ser
vice required when she reaches that
point. Hence his announced purpose to
stop at Nagasaki, Japan. l'he stop
there also will enable the Navy Depart-
ir.eai" t ea inv.? his orders -by tluvci came

chauge during the Brooklyn's five days'
run to Nagasaki so as to make it nec
essary l i do so. This port is s-carcoly
out of tne route between Hong Kong
and Taku, so there will be practically -no
loss of ttiue involved m entering Nagas
aki. No lfews from any of the American
State Departments m Ulniia was re
ceived over night.
Secreta rv Hay, who has been severely
taxed by the exhausting labors thrown
upon him during the present heated
spell, was indisjmsed today and remained

supreme DIgnst Manifested by a
Prominent State Department Official
Washington, June 29. Immediately
after the receipt of the Kempff dispatvh
.t was hurried over to the W bite House
and was the one topic of discussion at
the cabinet meeting. It was decided
'ill at the period of parley has come to
.m end, and a cable was sent to Admiral
lieniey, directing mm to organize a
-trong force at once after landing and
.tioceed with it to Pekin to learn the
fate of the American diplomatic repre
sintative.
Mr. Wu. the Chinese ambassador, did
not appear at the State Department to
day and no word of the dispatch was
forwarded to him. It is believed that
iie is near the close of his otncial ca
pacity in Washington, aud it was openly
stated today that no one would Ue sur
prised did he receive his passports be
fore an week had passed.
The diplomatic relations between
China and the United Statos are already
so far strained as almost to have ceased
to exist, as Secretary Hay will agree to
nothing save the landing of American
troops and a forcible entry into Pekin.
The Oregon is due at Taku today,
having sailed from Hong Kcnig Jnne 2:j.
With a strong force of marines on board,
together with naval lauding guns, it is
expected that Admiral Kempff will be
natded to begin ammediate operations
The dispatch from Admiral Kempff
has caused much uneasiness among the
representatives of foreign governments
in this city. Both Lord Pauncefote an;
M. Camlion called at the State Depart
nieut, but were unable to see Secretary
Hay. A high official of the State De
nirtment who has been controlling the
hidomatie end of the Chinese situation
staled this morning that; in all prob
ability, Mr. Conger had been murdered
"It "is distinctly assumed by the
Chinese officials that they have a direct
line of communication with Pekin." said
he. "and yet they have carefully re
frained from saying any word as to the
whereabouts of Mr. Conger, even when
directly requested to do so.
"The viceroys -have lied to us repeated
"y, and the Tsung-Li-Yamen has played
us false. This as Chinese i diplomacy,
Mid i am assured and can assure you
that peaceful methods have come to an
md so far as the United otates are con
emed. There is no question that Min
i-ter conger nas oeen murdered and
'hese weeks of narley have dragged in
efforts to conceal the crime. There may
be no immediate declaration of war, bn
--ur troops win land witn oirect an
itructions to force a way to Pekin and
it down all who oppose their advance,
This is really a declaration of war, and
i state of war really exists. TV e may
kill 1,000 men enronte to Pekin, and
vet there is no pressing need for an of
ficial declaration of hostilities."
The War and Navy departments of
ficials held a conference on the Kempff
dispatch this morning and it ! an.
nounced that two regiments "Will follow
the Ninth Infantry to Taku before Mon
day. Surgeon General Sternberg baa
been instructed to forward at once such
medical supplies as may be adapted for
the needs of troops in China.
The Brooklyn will sail from Hong
Koug to Nagasaki enroute to Chefoo to
morrow, with Admiarl Ilemey on board.
The Navy Department today ordered the
big coal transport Ataka from Singapore
to Taku. The Ataka will supply Ad
miral Remey's fleet with fuel.
