KILLED ALL FOREIGNERS If the Chinese Rumors Current in Shanghai Are Correct. A denpatoli from London says; fcr Robert flnrt's runner. wto'J w is (BterTie.'wed by the correspondent of the ExprecR at Shanghai. > the foreigners were m-.iking a last stand (n the huildiag-i and racJosures of tie BritmT) Legation. They h.d many dead and wounded. Among Uietn \/.s some women and children. All vere short of food, even of the commune*' necrsearies. The women were starving, as they gave apart of their small allowance > to tbe children. Tbe foreigners were holding out under a terrific fire up- held by the hourly expectation of re- lief. They knew they would not be abandoned, and thai the armies of tbeir Governments were advancing, bometimea they ihougilt they could fcear artillery in action beyond wall. They were unable to return tfee (ire of the Chinese except at mo- Bseats when aa assault cermed im- minent. Then Ike machine guns and repeating rifles tore the suormmg oarties to pieces. The messenger ex - preened ttie belief that it would be impoesubls for tbe foreigners to re- list fnurb longer, as the Chinee* were preparing le batter down (be walla of ike court-yard and their ammuni- tion was running low. Or ins wers given by Prince Tu n. the messenger says, that since some bad been killed, not one other foreign- er ahould be left alive. The Chinese soldiers were exhorted to sacrifice their lives without hesitation, if by so Auiiig they could help exterminate the " Wan:-Kuei-Te. " Extreme precau- tloos bad been taken to prevent the 'oreiguers from communicating with anyone outside the city, and a numbnn at ruaners who had been sent out were killed by the Chinese. Thi mes- senger succeeded in getting through by smearing hie face and clothes with blood and joining in the outcries againat t In- " devils." He passed the remauis of foreigners of Admiral Seymour's force who had been killed between Lang-Fang and Lo-Fu. Their bodies bad b-*n cut to pieces and their head* were carried at the ends of bamboos. A large army of Manohu Chinese Imperial troops, witb seventy guns, is reported to t* advancing in the direction of Tien-Tsin. Reliance is placnd in Shanghai on m<it of the statements made by the messenger, as hi- >s known to be (niih- ful to the foreigner*. The Consular tiody at .Shanghai is of the opinion thai the food and ammu- nition of the besieged Legation fore at Pekin have become exhausted, they must be dead or imprisoned, and that it would be futile to make a des- perate effort for tbeir relief with an , inadequate force. It ia regarded at Shanghai as appalling that nothing is being done for the relief of tbe be- sieged foreigners, and that they should be abandoned to a horrible fate. The inability of 1.800 men the l.iteet estimates of the number landed to advance, is explained by the statement that the Chinese army between Tien-Tain und Pekin has been heavily reinforced, that it hi* abund- ant artillery and numerous cavalry, giving it large advantages over the allies. Reconnoitring parties run a great haxard of being surrounded, captured, and probably executed by torture. A long delay seem* certain before an effective advance and be made. FROM PRISON TO BATTLE. GRIM CLOSING CHAPTERS. Released at Pretoria to be Killed In a Few Days. A despatch from London says : The Pretoria priauners are evidently ex- periencing an early renewal of war after their liberation. In the latest liat of casualties there is evidence of this. The attack on tho "mU Britiah force at Houingapruit entailed the death of Major II T. de C.

BOERS WERE DEFEATED. Thej Made a Determined Attempt to Betake Fiaksburg. A deepatch from Maaeru, Basuto- land.

The fighting waa abort, but iK-.oe, lusting an h.>ur, and the Federal* were repulsed. 40,000 BRITISH TROOPS. The War Office Is said to be Prepar- ing: to Send That Number of Men to China. A deeputch from London says : It ia understood that the War Office ia preparing to despatch nearly 40.000 men to China. Theae are to be drawn fiom India, South Africa and Eng- land, chiefly tbe latter. The Government baa been pun-h.is- iDg arms and ammunition for some time, and recently ordered JO.UOO.OWI rounda of rifle ammunition. FREE Emm JAPAN. The Russian Government Agrees to the Proposition. A desjpetch from London, says : The Ruwuin Government announces that it will give Japan a free hand to ap- ply military force in China. The terms of t h .1 consent are summarised In the subjoined despatch from St. Petersburg, under date of July 6: In reply to an enquiry from the Japanese C-n bmci regarding the despatch nt Japuneae troopa to China to render aid to the foreigners in Pekin, the ^luwtian Government declared on May 17 that it left the Japuneae Govern- ment full liberty of action in thial connect ion, and the i'okio Cabinet ex- precaed its readiueaa to aot in full agreement with the other powersx U la in consequence, no doubt, that Ja- PHII is pi, -paiing to embark JO.'iuo More troopa, PO1JTICS LAID ASIDK Politioal eonaide rations that were thought to have been numbing the ac- Uos> of the po\vera are thus laid aside for a moment, at leant by the Govern- ment suppuaed to have tbe clearest purposes respecting China's future. Japan's sending of troops now ran have little bearing on the fate of the foreigners in I'ekni. TKN DAYS NUCKSSARY. Baron Hajrashi, the new Japanese Minister, who arrived In Londim on Friday, aaid that ten days would pro- bubly be, required for the carrying of troops to China. His dictated statement contained these sentences; "U all the conditions Japan asked were conceded, I see no reason why Japan ahould not undertake tbe task ot aupprcjwing the trouble. Tbe pow- era are all willing to put down the rebels, bat it does not seem that they are agreed on tbe ineane." From thoae authoritative utter- iii,,, it ia inferred that Japan does not nominate conditions, and thai tbe concert of the powers ia a little tang- MARKETS OF_ THE WORLD Prices o Cattle, Cheese, Grain, &o , In the Leading Mur.teu.
