London, Aug. 8.—The cipher dis patch from the British minister at Pe- kin#, Sir Claude MacDonald, received at tho British foreign ofllco this morn iug and read in tho houso of commons today by the parliamentary secretary, Mr. Broderick, announcing that the members of tho legation wero holding out five days ago, is taken with tho ad miralty’s announcement that tho Chi- nese have been defeated and are retreat ing before the allies, as making the out look rather moro cheerful today than since Admiral Seymour’s unsuccessful expedition. The Russians’ hard fighting on the Siberian frontier, the difficulties of their position on tho Liao-Tung peninsula and the prospect of a revolt against Franco in Iudoo-China will probably prevent either power from sending reinforce ments operating against Peking. Hence tho United States, Great Britain, Ger many and Japan will have to carry out the military program without more troops from Russia or Franco. i okohama advices say dispatches re ceived from Seoul affirm that a Korean cabinet will bo organized to unite the factions and that the emperor is sending rice, flour and cigars to tho allies at Tien Tsiu.

There is a forco of 15,000 Chinese about two days’ inarch south and east of Tien Tsin, which is guarded by 6,000 mou of the allied forces with M guns. Au imperial edict has been issued at Peking that Ticu Tsin and tho Taku forts must be retaken at any cost.

They nre aware that nothing but the most vigorous action can meet tho conditions, save the ministers and other foreigners in Peking, and avert war of long dura tion. After a conference of tho men in chargo of tho diplomatic and military affairs, in which President McKinley participated over the long distance tele phone, it was decided to send a messngo to Consul General Goodnow, repeating the contents of tho Conger message and advising him that the situation was very serious and a crisis bad been reached.

How far tha Chineso au thorities are accomplices in this atro cious crime and whether tho llritish minister and his family uro among tho victims are matters still in some uncer tainty. The utmost efforts will bo made by myself and the allies to visit with punishment the authors of these crimes. ” Chinese Have Mined the Railroads and Filled River With Torpedoes.

So serious do tho officials regard this condition that it is bolioved it is snfor for tho ministers and other foreigners to accopt an escort of the im- penal army to Tiou Tsiu, than to remain In Peking, if war should bo doclared. Tho information received through the Chinese minister regarding tho opening of communications between the minis ters and their govonnouts is ono ray in the situation. Whether tho promises contained in tho edict will be made good ought to bo made speedily known, and if communication is established tho most serious consequences may bo averted. Although thero have been intimations before that such communications would bo established this is tho first timo that it has appeared in the form of on impe rial edict. As a result of this latest commonica- tioh from the Chi ueso government and tho message s< t to Consol Goncrnl Goodnow, the 1 nitod States govern ment is now in a waiting attitnao, hop ing for the best, but apprehensive of the gravest possibilities.
