St. Petersburg, July 18.—A dispatch -join Che Fuo says: “Prince Tuan has mobilized 950,000 rum, divided into different corps. The northern corps has been ordered to ex- pd foreigners from Amur. ••The Peking army is divided into four corps, the first of which is to operate nu-ainst Moukden and clear the roads be tween Taku, and the second is to con centrate at Tien Tsin and the third at Pelting, from whencefi column number ing |o,000 will be sent to Wei Hai Wei mid Tien Tnu, while the fourth corps v/ill concentrate at Nanking. “There are now 21',000 Japanese troops in China. “The Chinese fleet is concentrating in tlie China sea and hostilities are ex ported.” A dispatch from Nanking announces that Prince Tuan lias ordered a great military movement owing to the appear ance of Japanese in China. The viceroy of Nanking has informed the foreign consuls there that he cannot be answer- aide for events in Chao Sin, Ning Po and Chu Chau. The foreigners are fleeing to Shang hai. The position is alarming. Sixteen foreigners have arrivedat Nanking from Ning Po, where the houses of foreigners have been burned and missionaries hor ribly inalrreated.

Large Body of Chinese Moving From Hupei on That City. Shanghai, July 18.—Prince Tuan has issued an edict to fix a defiuate date for n general rising. When the date is can not be ascertained, but it is doubtless an early one, for Prince Tuan is said to have ordered all dispatches in view of the arrival of more foreign troops. A large body of Chinese is reported to be moving from Hupei in the direction of Shanghai. The situation here grows more threatening every day. The city is still without any means of defense and all the forts are being held by the Chinese. The Boxers’ placards, placed through out Peking, reads as follows: “I, the commander-in-chief of Heav en’s troops, will march from Peking to Nankin with them shortly. Our prin cipal object is to burn and destroy churches and chapels and then the tele graph and postoflice, colleges and schools. The people need not be fright- ened when they see our arrival here. Wo are going to drive away the foreign ers so as to keep the empire in peace and c< >mfort. Purchasing provisions for pro viding us we will give the market price, bur sellers must also charge moderately. We will not destroy tlie yarnensand cus toms, they can levy duty as usual. If any people disobey this order they will be beheaded at once.” yang tse in an uproar. Shanghai Menaced With a Native Up rising—Terror Prevails. Shan giiai, July 18.—The entire region of the Yang Tse is in a state of unrest. Shanghai is menaced with a native up rising. and the northern provinces are in an uproar. What may be the ulti mate policy of the powers, the immedi ate effect of the successful defense of the foreign quarter at Tien Tsin is distinctly quieting and reassuring. The allied armies are lighting there for the pre vention of a massacre and the protec tion of foreign interests through the Chinese empire. The retreat of the foreign contingents to the coast would be the signal for yel low terrorism in every quarter of the seaboard and the interior. W bile the improvement in the situa tion at Tien Tsin is considerable, the Chinese rebels are swarming outside the eitv and there are strong reasons for be lieving that the bulk of the regular army saturated with the Boxers’ spirit of hatred against foreigners. Natives Were Slain. Santa Rosa, Cal., July 18.—Letters have been received here from Mrs. J. Y* • Ragsdale, wife of the United States consul at Tien Tsin.

Manila, July 16.—The authorities have ordered the formation of 12 troops of cavalry to be recruited from the Ma- cabebes and officered by Americans. Major Batson, the originator of the idea of employing the Macabebe tribesmen as scouts, is to be commander of the new squadron of Filipino horse. The Macabebes have long been used as scouts and their value in such work has already been determined. The pres ent plan of mounting them is intended to render them more effective by bring ing about mobility. Several details of native troops are "being used as guides, but the organization of native soldiers, with the notable exception of the Ma- cabebes, has been objected to by the au thorities of Manila. When the Ma cabebes are controlled they do good work iu their own line, but they are very hard to restrain from outrage, loot ing and indiscriminate killing. Several American officers have declined service with the Macabebes on the ground that it was impossible to restrain them in moments of excitement.

Woodward was brought to an apparent close when council laid the majority and minority reports on the table without having either document read.

It declares that some of the charges were proved by sworn testi mony, but there was a difference of opinion as to whether the charges con stituted grounds for impeachment pro ceedings.

Powers Became Angry Because Black Would Not Assist Him—Taylor, Fin lay and C)Iher Prominent Republican Leaders Implicated. Georgetown, Ky., July IS. — Tho Powers murder case was resumed with the promise that several minor witnesses would be heard first, but that during the day some very sensational evidence would be brought out. John A. Black of Barboursville, a banker and a Repub lican of prominence, was the first wit ness. He said Powers came to him in January to advise him as to the pro priety of the mountain organization which Powers was getting up. “I asked Powers,” said the witness, “what sort of a crowd he was getting up and he said he was organizing an armed mob to go to Frankfort. I discouraged this, and told him it would injure the Republican party, would be a stigma ou our end of the stdte and ought to be abandoned. Powers, however, insisted that the mob should be formed. His idea was that it would intimidate the legislators. Approved by Taylor. Continuing Black said: “I saw Powers later, and again re monstrated against the formation of the mob which was going to Frankfort. Powers told me it was being formed with the approval of Governor Taylor, Charles Finlay and other Republican leaders at Frankfort. Charles Finlay also came to me and tried to get me to co-operate with them. I protested bit terly. Powers became very angry with me on account of the position I took. I tried to dissuade them from the dirty baud aud send good citizens, people of influence, if any crowd was to be sent.” A check from Charles Finlay to the Louisville and Nashville railroad for $1,000 for transportation of the men to Frankfort was produced by Black in re sponse to a question from the prosecu tion. The defen.- e, through Mr. Owens, raised a point against the competency of Coulton as a witness, he being under indictment along with Powers and oth ers as a co-conspirator and having not been tried. The jury was excluded dur ing the argument of the point. Judge Sims presented objections of the defense to the competency of Culton as a wit ness against Powers. Cross Examination. On cross examination Black said that Finley claimed the mountaineers were being taken to Frankfort to “influence” the legislature. Powers said the pur pose was to “intimidate” that body. At this answer Colonel Campbell, attorney for the prosecution, slapped himself on the knee which brought forth au objec tion from the defense to such a demon stration in the presence of the jury. Continuing, witness said he “never heard Powers make threats against Goe bel except in a general way. He re ferred to the crowd he was getting up as a mob. ” J. W. Siler, a banker of Wiliiams- bnrg, was asked concerning $1,000 that was loaned to Charles Finlay for the purpose of transporting men to Frank fort. "Witness could not give the date of the check. W. H. Culton, who is himself under indictment as an accessory and supposed to he the star witness of the prosecution, was called next. Attempted to Kill His Daughter.

Because of the very intimate rela tions that have existed up to a very re cent date between this official and the imperial court at Peking, he having been commander of the imperial body guard, there is a disposition here to at tach more credence to his dispatches than would be accorded those of other Chinese officials.
