In Grave Danger of Massacre—Chinese Shelling British Legation Dally—De termined to Kill All Foreigners In Peking—Entry of Relieving Force Will Be Very Hotly Contested. Washington, July 25.—The following cablegram has been received at theTiavy department from Che Foo: "Written message, signed Conger, dated July 4, received Tien Tsin July 21 says: “ ‘Been besieged two weeks, British legation. Grave danger of massacre by Chinese soldiers, who are shelling lega tion doily. Relief soon if at all. City without government except by Chinese army. Determined massacre all of the the foreigners in Peking. Entry relief forces into city probably be hotly con tested.’” Tho message comes from Captain Charles 51. Thomas, commander of the Brooklyn. FEAR RUSSIAN CHINESE SOLDIERS TURNTHEIR GUNSON BOXERS AT TIEN TSIN Claim They Were Deceived Into Embarking On a Hopeless Struggle. WIDESPREAD DISSENSION Believed That In a Short Time the Same State of Affairs Will Prevail at Peking—Scenes In the Native City. Hogs and Dogs Are Feedlug On Dead Bodies — Searching the Ruins. Tien Tsin, July 23, via Shanghai, July 25.—Chinese coming in from the country report that the Chinese soldiers are killing the Boxers wherever the lat ter are seen, giving as a reason that the Boxers deceived them into embarking on a hopeless straggle. Thisis regarded os a sign of widespread dissension. It is said to be only a matter of a short time before the same state of affairs will exist in Peking, when, in all probabil ity, Jnng Ln, commander-in-chief of the Chinese forces, and Prince Ching will be able to regain sufficient influence to make peace, especially if the foreigners in the capital are safe.

London, July 25.—Tho tone of the Eurppean press in regard to the message dated July 4, received hero from the British minister at Peking, Sir Claude MacDonold, continues pessimistic and the endless and extraordinary succession of Chinese dispatches purporting to de scribe the situation at Peking only serves to bewilder. However, the earlier unquestioning belief that a massacre took place has to some extent been shaken, and it is now admitted, despite the heavy load of evidence supporting the reports of the massacre, that as Sir Claude 5IacDonald’s letter disposed of AN APPALLING SPECTACLE. the first story alleging that the crime j occurred Juno 30, so Minister Conger’s Scenes In the Native City of Tleu Tsin. dispatch and other stories reporting the j Chinese Losses. . legations safe July 10 14 and 18, give , Tien - Tsi!)
