(Continued from First rage.)
the latest and most accurate news from
the relief column, the officials here be

at the strength of the column.
There is a sincere regret entertained
at the Navy Department at the compara
tively small representation of the United
States in this movement. Rut it is raid
that the navy has done all it can to meet
the colls upon it. The intimation is very
♦dear that if further reinforcements are
needed for this Chinese service, recourse
must be had to the United States Army.
On their part, however, the army officers
repudiate any purpose to become in

declared that there is still no Intention

NEED OF ADDITIONAL TROOPS.
Admiral Seymour'* Advance Making
Slow Progre**.
Washington, June 14.-A dispatch has
beun received at the British embassy here
from Admrai Seymour, in command of
the international t:o ps now for Ing their
way from Tim Tsln to Pekin. The dis
patch disclosed the extreme difficulties
encountered, mainly in the form of tracks
destroyed and stat'd that the progress
was only three mil's for the preceding
twenty-feur hours.
The commending Admiral felt that it
would be desirable to have additional
forces in ord r to meet contingency,
although the general feeling was express
ed that the trouble wou and be less difficult
to deal with than has been expected.
It is calculated that with the three miles
covered in the twen y-four hours preced
ing the Admiral’s dispatch which Is dat
ed yesterday, the international fore-* was
now twenty-rive miles from Pekin. Thera
is every indication, however, that the
twenty-live mile stretch will bo about the
tno?t difficult of the entire route. The dis
patch of the Admiral makes no mention
of further engagements with the boxers
AN APPEAL FROM AMERICANS.
There I* Said to Hr Grave Danger
in the Yang T*e Valley.
Washington. June 14.—John Foord, sec
retary of the American Asiatic Associa
tion, to-day received the following cab’e
grain from the Shanghai branch of the
association.
“Shanghai, June 13.—Grave danger
threatens Americans Yang Tse valley;
urgently advise immediate gunboat pro
tection. American Association.”
On the 7th inslant the following cable
gram was received by the association
frem its Shanghai branch:
“American lives and interests in North
China are seriously imperilled. Urge gov
ernment to act promptly and vigorously
with adequate force."
The association using these two cable
grams as a basis, is circulating a peti
tion to the President asking that this gov
ernment take eneigetie steps to protect
American lives and interests in China;
also that the United States act in con
cert with the other Povrers In this emer
gency.
CONGER WAS NOT HEARD FROM.
Talk of Requesting Ru**in anil
•?a|inn to Restore Peace.
Washington. June 14.—1 t was said at the
State Department to-day that no request
for 2,000 or. in fact, for any number of
troops has been received from Minister
Conger, as reported from ’Shanghai. As
a matter of fact, the State Department
has not heard from Minister Conger for
thirty-six hours past.
As it is gathered that the European
foreign offices are in precisely the same
position respecting their diplomatic repre
sentatives at Pekin, it is assumed at the
State Department that telegraphic commu
nication between Pekin and the outside
world, which for the last three days has
consisted of a single line running north
into Russian Manchuria, has at last been
totally interrupted.
The Japanese authorities here say the
Y’okcfhama Dress dispatch stating that
Japan b about to send a mixed regiment
to China is undoubtedly correct, as it tal
lies with what has been expected in dip
lomatic quarters. In some diplomatic quar
ters there is talk of a joint request of all
the parties, interested, on either Japan or
Russia, or both them to land a strong
force of soldiers instead of the limited
number of marines now available. Thi*,
however, has not yet taken official form.
Mr. Nabeshima says Japan would not act
l:ug such lines, unless all the Powers
united in a request of that character.

a Kentuckian, too, f regret to say—Jus

At to-day’s hearing in the coroner’s In
quest over the bodies strikers and a
- Ifizen killed last Sunday by members of
ihe sheriff's posse comMatus, the testi
mony adduced tended to show that Dep
uty Sheriff M irsh shot Frederick Bohne,
the citizen in question, but the wlsnessea
disagreed a.s to the deputy’s provocation
for shooting. After hearing the testimony
of about thirty-five witnesses, the Jury
returned a verdict of homicide. Several
of 4he deputies testified that Police Lieu
tenant Stark ordered the deputy sherlfts
to fire on the crowd, while Stack declared
he did all In his power to prevent the
deputies from firing.
The disappearance of Deputy Sheriff
Marsh was .1 startling development at the
Inquest. It Is believed that Marsh has left
the city. No further search will be made
for him, probably, unless friends of the
dead man seek to prosecute him, the ver
dict of (he coroner's jury heingr consid
ered practically an exoneration.
