CHRISTIANS AID ALLIES
Those Who Were Armed Did Some
Good Fighting.
London, Aug. 22. —In the news that
reaches London this morning direct
from China there is nothing to confirm
the report that the empress dowager has
been run to earth. The foreign envoys,
according to the Shanghai correspond
ent of the Daily Pi ess, are proceeding
to Tien Tsin. The same correspondent
avers that the sacred city was entered on
August 15, two days earlier than Rear
Admiral Bruce reported.
"The flags of the allies,’' says the
Shanghai correspondent of the Daily
Mail, wiring yesterday, “are now floats
ing over the imperial palace, Street
fighting, however, continues.
“Considerable assistance in the capt
ure of Pekin was rendered by four thou
sand armed native chriitians. The le
gations wars enabled to hold out by
purchasing ammuni.ion from the Chi
nsse.”
American action in refusing to deal
with Li Hung Chang in the peace pro
posals meets with unanimous approval
at the bands of the mo-ning papers. The
Standard says:
"We imagine that other powers will
take the samu course; at any rate, until
Earl Li produces satisfactory evidence of
of his authority to negotiate ’’
The Daily Chronicle says: “Mr, Con
ger has at last op.ned the eyes of the
stats department to the real character of
Orientals.”
The Dally Express prints this morn
ing a long letter said to have been writ
ten by Vice Admiral Seymoar in which
he stoutly defends his action in advanc
ing to the relief of tbs legations when
ho did, saying:
“Two or three times our prospects
were very dark and disaster seemed
probable. Yet I have regretted that I
bad started, as 1 cou'd have respected
myself if I had not done so. ’
Referring to the difficulties of con
trolling mixed troops and to their char'
acteristics, he says: The Germans
were admired most; but for dash and
go none surpassed or perhaps equalled
the Americans. The French had no
particular approachment wi’h any other
nationality. The Gerinani an and Rus
sians were inclined to hold together;
but the Americans were with us al
ways.
Advices from the provincial capitals
Bhow that the attitude of the southern
manderins has been far more friend y
since the allies reached Pekin.
Some of tbe magistrates have been is
suing proclamations commanding tbe
Chinese to attend to business, to avoid
sedition, and acknowledging that tbe
invasion of the foreigners is justified.
The following dispatch has been re
ceived from Rear Admiral Bruce:
“Taku, Aug, 19 —The allies are re
ported to have entered the sacred city
of Pek’n August 17.”
