The Mntiny in India the Only Parallel. TOTHK l'UKSKNT SI nT ATION ' IN PER IN AND T1EK TS1N. Five Days Without Tidings From Iniprisoucd Europeans and Ainei ieiins in Chin- ? I cso Capital. The Latest News Piscou miring. C7 London,.Jimo 18, .*> a. til.-There is not a cihinet in Europe apparent! that knows what has been transpiring in IVkin for five days or in Tien Tsin for three days. Not is there any that knows with what difficulties tho small and inadequately equipped international column is contending between these two cities. The German foreign office upon learning tho re port of the murder of Baron von Kctteler, the Gorman minister at l'ekin, sent telegraphic inquiry to St Petersburg, tho Russian government, because of its Manchuria being supposedly in a better position than the other government to obtain direct news In reply the German foreign ofliee was informed that nothing whatever was known on tho subject as communi cation with l'ekin was interrupted. Tho report spread world-wide from Shanghai ttut tho legations had been attacked and that one minister, probably the Gorman, had been murdered, has been traced to Tao Tai Sheng, who has for a few days, as the empress dowager's agent, been censoring telegrams from Shanghai. The Shanghai correspondent of The Daily Kxpresssays: 4'Sheng, as head of the telegraph admimst rat ion, pretended that the line connecting Shanghai with Pekin had been down since .Juno Oth, and that the wires to Tien Tsin were cut on .Juno 15th. Nevertheless it is notorious (hat constant com' municutions have been passing from Shanghai to Pekin over the northern and western routes, although Sheng has refused both! ministers ami consuls the privilege I i of using the lines. It is known' that last Friday Shcng received a ' message from either l'ekin or ' Tien Tsin. This dispatch said that (?en Tung Full Siang's troops aided the Boxers in an orI . I ganized attack on the foreign legations and that in the course of . i the attack somo of the legation ' buildings were reduced to ruins, j and one iorcign minister sliced to ; pieces. 14Why 111 the cables it should have added that the murdered mn^Rer was Baron von Ket ! teler is not explained." According to another telegram from Shanghai dated .June 17 at 17:25 p m, Sheng has fled, fearing that tho foreign authorities were aiout to arrest him because of ais stoppage of telegrams. A third cablegram asserts that tho reports of tho murder of tho German minister emanated from Pekin, are quite unconfirmed and , are discredited at Shanghai, "Tho German minister has been captured," is the announcei ment to The Morning Post from Pckin, in a dispatch dated June 13, 5 p in^yia Tien Tsin June 15. This is the latest press message known to have left Pokin. It i continues as follows: "A crowd |of Boxers occupies I Legation Street, cutting off communication between the buildings. A few Boxers are parading in the tu-:- ? vivj. aiicii ?u|ici?iiiioii in regard to foreign arms is pitiable. "The Boxer* hold the officials of Tung Chan for redemption. Anarchy reigns at that place. The Americans in the interior of the two neighboring provinces | have been advised to leave, but < v several bavo no moans of doing so. Unless a relief force is sen there is danger of a massacre of native Christians. A large ir Chinese army is icady to oppose si the relief column on the way litre, li The Chinese government cannot ri decide whether to adopt the policy g of rigidly suppressing the Boxers c< or that of defying tho world. The ti decision re>ts with tho dowager a 1 } CIIIIHUS9. S< The following summary of tlio w situation was telegraphed to The n Daily News from Shanghai last u evening; o "The situation is critical and tl without parallel since the Indian f | mutiny. At the Yang l'so ports v there is a grave feeling of unrest r among the natives. As yet there h has been no outbreak, but plae h ards have been posted in Kin e Kiang, Ugnas Skin and Wu Hu y calling on the people to 'kill aud y burn." ti 'A body of rioters 5,000 strong cl are at Kwoi Ilsien, in the prefect, p lire of Canton, and troops have ti gone to suppress them. I li " The powers, unprepared, are n helpless to prevent disaster ; but tl barring trilling local friction, they o are working amicably." c< . The Pekin correspondent of tl The Times, in a dispatch dated j v .June If, via lien Tsin, .June 15 j fi says: fi "A serious anti-foreign out. s< break took place last right, whenjc< some of the finest buildings in the b eastern part of the city were burn h cd and hundreds of native Chris- w tians and servants employed by p foreigners were massacred within c< two miles of the imperial palace, ci "It was an anxious night for all si foreigners. d "If troops to recnforco the for- jt eign guard fail to arrive today, ci further riots are expected. It is h believed that no European has been | p Ift'nuod." o "Telegraphic communication n with the north," says tho Shung- a hai correspondent of The Tunes, " , . . / unuer Saturday s date, 4 ceased,1 early this morning.

Tho South Carolina Baptist contains n statement in regard to Col Hoyt's position on the liquor question, which, to say tho least, is misleading and incorrect. Tho South Carolina Baptist intimates that Col Hoyt once favored high license. The fact is that at tho time to which Tho Baptist refers, in 1 KS(), Col Hoyt, or rather, tho Baptist Courier of which ho was senior editor, advocated high license as opposed to low license, which was entirely consistent with his stand before and after that perio I of his life. Prohibition was not then an issue. Whenover prohibition has been an issue, Col Hojt has always fought for prohibition and the editor of tho South Carolina Baptist ought to know that fact. When it has boon impossible to secure prohibition, Col Hoyt, has been willing to take the next best thing. That is a practical stand for any man to take. When local option was recognized by law, Col Hoyt favored securing prohibition by counties but at the same time fought for State prohibition, as lie is doing today. Any attempt to find a flaw in C<?l Hoyt's record as a prohibitionist will bo unsuccessful, for tho simple reason that ever since be has heen in public life he has stood for that principle ami no man can prove the contrary. ?
