The relations be tween Tsung-Li-Yamen and Sir Claude MacDonald, the British ambassador, are strained to the point of rupture. Sir Claude MacDonald has intimated that any failure by.China to observe Gieat Britian’s wishes will be accepted as a casus belli. “In support of Sir Claude MacDonald the fleet has been concentrated at Wci-Hai-Wei and Han-Kow, and all the war sh’.ps under 5,000 tons have been mobilized in the Yang-Tse river. The naval demonstration is solely directed against China, a it is semi-officially stated that the existing relations with Rus sia are cordial. Lord Salisbury has abandoned the policy of the open door, substituting for it a policy of spheres of influence . “Diplomatic conferences have been of constant occurrence within the last.few days. Lord Salisbury insists upon the recog nition by the other powers in terested in China, of thj bounda ries of Great Britain's ‘sphere of influence.’ In the same in strument whereby Great Britain recognizes Russia’s position in Manchuria, Russia is required The little brown jug filter price $ 1 00.

The British ambassa -5 dors at St. Petersburg and Peking are in close communica » tion.” The Daily Mail’s correspond ent at Hong Kong telegraphs: “The British consul at Kiung 1 Chau Heinan has asked (he ’ American consul at Canton to I 1 urge the viceroy to send soldiers ' 1 to Nodea, near Hoi How, to • protect the lives and property of ' American missionaries there,] .who have been obliged to flee 1 for their lives from Nodeaa and ■ seek the protection of the Bi itish ' consul at Hoi How. ■ Today the American consul at ! 1 Canton notified the viceroy of the state of affairs, and r<quests ' ’ ed him to immediately telegraph • 1 ' peremptory orders to the ofliciab of the disturbed district to dis perse the rioters and protect th» ’ lives and property of the Amer icans. , ( “Reports.just received from Hainan indicate renewed success on the part of the Triad society, | whp, strengthened by a horde of pirates, looted and burned a ♦ number of villages in the Hoi-1 How district on August 19th. The British consul appealed co the toatal to protect the threat ened Americans, and s.oldiers were displaced who succeeded in rescuing then and escorting them from Nodea to Hoi-How.’’ A special dispatch from Shanghia says violent scenes are reported to have occurred be tween Sir Claude McDonald, the ’British minister, and M. P.ivloff, the Russian charge d'affaires, owing to the latter’s command ing the Tsung-Li-Yamen to breaJc its agreement with the Hong Kong bank under pain of the czar’s strong displeasure. The Chinese are inclined to obey M. Pavloff, seeing that the Brit ish confine themselves to verbal protests.
