Its net intMme for the last London, Aug. 21. The scantiness of the news from China is ascribed to a breakdown of the land telegraph to re kin. The most recent official dispatch received in Europe was sent to Home by the commander of the Italian cruiser Tieramosca, who, cabling from Taku, says : "Fighting continued at Tekin August 18. Very urgent requests are being made for the dispatch of further rein forcements from Taku to Pekin. Four hundred Italian marines have started for the capital by forced marches." The ministry of marine at Berlin has received a message from the admiral who is second in command of the German squadron. This message, which is dated Taku, August 17, says -that a German detachment would presumably muster at Tien Tsin Friday evening, and then a forced march would be made to Pekin. It Is believed in Loudon that if the inner city is satisfactorily reduced it is prob able that the powers will agree not to push military operations further than is uecessar yto etfect the punishment of those directly responsible for the dis orders, to secure indemnity for injury to the persons and property of their subjects, and to re-establish a stable government. A Shanghai .dispatch states that ac cording to Chinese officials three more imperial officials have been decapitated. These are Hsu Tung, president of the civil 'zoard: Yi-Lien-luan, a member of the ministry, and Li-Shan, a member of the imperial household. The first two were anti-foreign, while Li-Shan was pro-foreign. Prince Cheng has impris oned Yung-Hi. It is stated that the Emperor and Empress are sixty miles west of Pekin, under Prince Tuare's train. The Daily Mail's Hong Kong corre spondent says there is continued rioting near Swatow.
