LEGATION SAFE ON JULY THIRD A Ray of Hope Is Kindled By Later News ftfom China. JAPAN IS AUTHORIZED TO ACT Powers Agree to Give Her a Free Hand, Full Co-Operation and Pay to Whip the Chinese. The London foreign office has issued the text oi a telegram from Acting Consul General Warren, at Shanghai, confirming from thoroughly trust WOrthjSO “ rC ” S ““ " 0 "' 8 ' r0ni Peti “ by eourier July 3d, by way of Shang hai, to the London office of the in spectorate of Chinese maritime cus toms, saying two legations were, the day the courier left, holding out against the Chinese aud boxers and that the troops had lost 2,000 men and the boxers many leaders. CONSUL GOODNOW COFIUMS HEPORT8. A cablegram was received at tho -state department at Washington Sat urday morning from Consul General Goodnow at Shanghai dated July 7th, saying that the legations were stand ing on the 3d instant aud that the re cent attack of tho boxers bad been comparatively slight. They seemed disposed to adopt starvation methods. One certain effect of Consul General Goodnow’a dispatch will be to cause the officials here, aud without doubt, the European governments,torebouble their exertions to push forward a force to Pekin. The maiu hope for speedy action is still in Japan. According to the Japanese legation in Washington, which has late advices from Tokio, 22,000 soldiers are now on Chinese soil. If this report is true, then the Japanese government has ac eomplished much more than was ex pected and the officials here see no reason why the advance on Pekin soould not begin immediately. It is said that Japan is not expected to make this campaign single-handed, The international forces at Taku and Tien Tsin will co-operate to the ut most with the Japanese army corps in the movement on Pekin. What form that , co-operation . shall ...... take not is known yet; such details are left to the Gommauders in the field. It is said Japan is to be compensated for the work she is about to undertake in the common cause. Her military prepara tious are very extensive aud the cam paign is certain to involve heavy cost, It would be unjust to expect Japan to meet this herself. She has no mis eionaries in China, and consequently is perhaps less interested selfishly than aDy of the powers in the terrible happenings in Shan Tung aud Pekin. COBBIN BEADT TO SEND TBOOFS. As a result of the thorough consid eration of the subject by the secretary of war, Lieutenant General Miles and adjutant General Corbin, orders were issued by the war department Satur day afternoon for the dispatch of 6,254 regular troops to the Philippines with a view to their utilization in China, The force is made up of two battalions each of the Fifteenth, Second, Fifth aud Eighth infantry, two squadrons each of First and Ninth cavalry, one squadron of the Third calvary and a eompany of engineers. These troops will be forwarded as rapidly as possi ble and as soon as transportation ar raugements can be perfected. The issue of the formal orders for the dispatch to the east of more than ■6,000 troops from tho army posts in the United States is a manifestation of the energy with which the government is uow about to act iu the Chinese matter. True, these troops are nom inally destined for the Philippines to replace the volunteers now out there, but it is admitted that they are being ■sent out by a route that will easily ad mit of deflection to Taku or some •other convenient Chinese port. When these troops are lauded in China, to gether with the Niutli infantry sup posed to be now at Taku, and tlie ma rine aud naval contingent the United States will have a force in action com mensurate with our interests and in proportion to the European forces.
