OOO Chinese Troop- Iletivecn Peking
ami Tien Tsln, With liOO.OOO Around
the City—He Thinks the Kxpedltlon
a Terrible Military .Mistake.
Shanghai, Aug. 3.—Liu Kun Yi, vice
roy of Nanking, and Slieug, administra
tor of telegraphs and railways and taotai
of Shanghai, have both declared otli-
eially that the foreign ministers are held
by the Chinese government as hostages,
and that if the allies march on Peking
they will be killed.
It is stated that only the Russians anti
Japanese, 23,000 strong, are starting for
Peking.
Another Chinese exodus from Shang
hai has commenced. It was caused by
disquieting rumors published in the na
tive- and some foreign newspapers.
GREAT MILITARY MISTAKE.
Pritchard Morgan Helices- the Expe
dition Will lie Forced to Retreat.
London, Aug. 3.—“This fresh ad-
rance upon Peking, I believe, will prove
a terrible milltnry and political mis
take,” said Pritchard Morgan. “My
latest information,” ho continued, “is
that there aro 70,000 Chinese troops be
tween Tien Tsin and Peking and proba
bly 300,000 m and around Peking itself.
This expedition probably will be com
pelled to return like Admiral Soymour’s.
Besides, the Chinese government may
lose the power to protect the legations
any longer when the news that a for
eign army is advancing becomes known.
"The release of the ministers could
have been secured by Li Hung Chang if
the powers had consented to negotiate
throngh him. But tho ministers refuso
to leavo Peking, becauso while they aro
there the Chinese government is respon
sible for them. “
The failnro to agree upon a Com
mander-in-chief of the allied forces cre
ates consternation. LaBoachcre cyni
cally observed:
“When tho allied armies begin to fight
with each other tho Boxers wiU have to
be called in to restoro peace.”

CIVILIANS ARE IMPATIENT.
Commanding Officers Arc Severely
Crltclscd For Tliclr Tardiness.
TIen Tsin, July 35, via Shanghai,
Aug. 3.—Ponding tho order to advanco
for tho relief of tho legationers at Pe
king, the ovents at tho Chinese capital
aro seemingly but slightly regarded.
High olficors are entertaining nightly at
•Inborn to dinners, with military bauds
playing operatic airs. Foreign residents
and friends of tho besieged in Peking
who come to Tien Tsin to await news or
to accompany tho expedition aro in
tensely dissatisfied with tho progress of
preparations, l'hoy accuso the army of
mdlffcrenco and of magnifying tho diffi
culties to be encountered in reaching
Poking.
President Tenny of tho Tien Tsin uni
versity, who h volunteered to guido
tho army to Poking, said today:
"This business is not progressing in
accordance with Anglo-Saxon traditions.
Twenty thousand soldiers aro staying
here while women ami chiltlr- n
of their own race are starving and
awaiting massacre SO miles away. Mili
tary ami naval officers, meanwhile,
wasting timo in bickering over petty
politics, is a sorry spectacle. It will be
a dork blot on tho reputation of every
commandingofficer hero if the white peo
ple in Peking are allowed to perish with
out a desperate effort to save them.”
President Tenny and many others
who are acquainted with the conditions
tkiuk there wore sufficient- troops here
to push forward and pursue the Chiuoso
after the fall of the uativo city of Tion
Tsin. Tho position of tho legations de
manded that tho army take extraordi
nary risks by scouriug tho surrounding
aouutry and commuudcring uuimuls and
wagons and that boatssaflleient for pur
poses of transportation might be impro
vised, is the prevailing opinion of civil
ians, and many officers, notably Jap
anese trail Americans, confirm this viow.
■While people at Tien Tsin are totally
ignorant of diplomatic conditions abroad
or Chinese affairs, tho lack of harmony
hero among the representatives of the
powers hinders vigorous action.
Thu Japanese are giving a splendid
exhibition of organization. Their whole
machine moves liko clock work. Tho
management of the Japanese army and
the bmv ry, spirit and intelligence of
the Jupanoso troops are a revelation that
commands the respect and admiration
of all foreign officers.

gbrevon has received information from
Montgomery to tho effect that Ben Loeb
and T. K. Hall, arrested the 'other dav

chants, wore wanted in that city for tho
same offense.
It has developed that these men have

tions of the country they shipped their
plunder to Milwaukee.
