BUELL & ROBERTS, ? 673 & .*575 KIMS STRtCKT, CHARLESTON, - S. O. DIM RAY OF HOPE j Thai Foreigners in Fehi.i Have Not All B:en Massacred. THE REPORTS ARE CONFLICTING. The United States Sends /"lore Than Six Thousand flen to the Sc.*ne of j Mosiillt.es. The condition of affairs in China is cne of serious concern in all the ' civilized world. Th? reports are [vague and conflicting. Une day the accounts are ha: all foreigners have neen massacred. The next Jay the account is denied. The latest developments are given In the following despatches, which give a more ropeful view of the situation: London. By Cable.?A cable dispatch dated Thursday. July 5, 5 p. m.. received at the London office of the inspectorate of Chinese maritime customs from Shanghai, says: "Courier left Pekin July 3. when two legations.were holding out against troops and Boxers. Troops had lost 2.000 men and Boxers many leaders." It is further asserted that the foreigners at Pekin ought to be able to hold out for a long time, as they have sufficient food and ammunition. Jardine, Matheson and Co., of Shanghai have telegraphed to their London house as follows: .<01 U?i Tt.lv. - Tl,n TJ-.tioV, ouauguai, uuijr ?.? 1 uc i^unou *vgation was standing July 2. There are reassuring reports regarding the lives of the Europeans." The forti4fc office has issued the text of a telegram from Acting Consul General Warren, at Shanghai, confirming from absolutely trustworthy source the news received by courier from Pekin July 3, by way of Shanghai to the London office of the inspectorate of Chinese maritime customs, saying that two legations were, the day the courier left, holding out against troops and Boxers and that the troops had lost 2.000 men and the Boxers many leaders. Mr. Warren adds that the messenger says the troops were much disheartened by their losses and that the Boxers claim their mystic powers have been broken by the foreigners and that they dare not approacn th; legations. Paris, By Cable.?The French consul at Canton telegraphs that accord- | lng to the information :hat he has received through Li Hung Chang of a general massacre of the Europeans was freely circulated in Canton on July 6, but it was denied by x telegram received by one of the consuls. The French consul at Canton added in his dispatch that it had been stated that place that Gen. Yung Lu hid telegraphed the viceroy at Canton to consider as null and void all so-called imT perial decrees promulgated since June 21. The Hurders Continue. r /vnHnn Rv Pahle?There is noth ~ ' " , I ing in the few dispatches received to j add to the ray of hope regarding the j fate-of the legations at Pekin shed by j Saturday's dispatches from Washing- j ton, and messages from other source* 1 indicating that the legations were still standing on July 3 and that recent attacks by the Boxers had been slight. News from other points was distinctly disquieting. A report from Chefoo dated July 7 says thiit a Catholic bishop, two priests and two nuns were murdered A report from Moukden, dated Jul) 5, says that a Danish mission at Hinyung had been surrounded by Boxers. According to the report it would be possibfe to hold out only two days. A ] party of Cossacks, residents of Moukden. and the British consul had started for the relief of those besieged at the Danish mission. The situation at Tien Tsin on July 3 is said to have been most serious. Japanese and Russian forces are reported to have been hnrrvint? thpre from akn. but accord ing to some accounts mutual distrust exists between the allies. A report from Sranghai. dated July G. says that the British warships are vigilantly watching, with the purpose of preventing any atlempt to the Chinese to cross :he Yung Tse Kiang. 6,ooo Alcn to China. Washington, D. C., Special.?As a result of a thorough consideration of the subject by the secretary of war-, Jueut. Gen. Miles and Adjt. Gen. Corbiu orders were issued by the war department Saturday afternoon for the dispatch of fi.2.?4 regular troops to the "Philippines tfirh a view to utilization jin China. The force is made up or two battalions each of the Fifteenth, Second, Fifth and Eighth and two squadrons each of the First and Ninth cavalry, one squadron of the Third cavalry and a company of engineers. These troops will be fory/arded as rapidly as possible and as soon as transportation arrangements can be perfected FEARFIL MASSACRE. I ! Reports State That All the Ruropeans in Pekin are Dead. ? Reports Siy i That The German Minister Has Been ; Murdered. Shanghai (By Cable). ? Three Chihpsoservants of foreigners escaped from Pekln. Tbey report that all the foreigners. 1COO in number, including -ttV> soldiers, 100 members of the Chinese customs staff, and a number of women end children, held out till their a munition was exhausted, in the British Legatia'i. The Legation was finally burned and all the foreigners were killed. London (By Cable).?An edict issued at Pekin amounts to an oj>en challenge to the Powers and practically declares war. It commands the provinces to enroll the Boxers and troops to assist i to expel the foreigners. Pri?ice Tuan has ordered the exter- | ruination of all foreigners, exhorting the Chinese troops to sacrifice their I own lives if they can by so doing help | to accomplish this object. The ncaas of legation guards who have boon captured have been carried through Pekin on the tops of spears. The inhabitants Df Pekin have broken out into the wildest excesses. The British and Russian Aduiirate at Taku have decided that it would impossible to attempt to relieve Pekiu without a nine h larger force. (He Is en route to China to assume coor tnand ot the American forces there.) According to the best military estimates. 500.D00 men will be necessary to subjugate North China, and even then it will take two or three years. The foreigners are simply aghast at the extent of the Chinese armaments, which have been systematically ac cumulated. The total number of Chinese troops is estimated by the Russian military authorities at 1.752,000 men. JAPAN HAS A rilEE HAND. BuuU Content* to Allow Her to App!} Military Force in China. London (By Cable).?The Russian Government announces that It will give Japan a free hand to apply military force in China. It is in consequence of this that Japan Is preparing to embark twenty tbousaud more troops. Recitals of.further horrors in Pekln are gathered by correspondents at Shanghai from Chinese sources, especially in the slaughter In the Chinese and Tartar City of thousands of native Christians, so that the capital reeks with carnage. The ruthless thirst for blood is spreading in all the northern provinces, and wherever there are native Christians the scenes enacted in the capital are reproduced. The Chinese commanders are pre- 1 paring for a long and arduous campaign, a They are putting into operations plans prepared by German officers last year, when an invasion by Russia was feared. More than two million dollars' worth of arms and ammunition of the most modern type have l>een destroyed in three arsenals outside Tien-Tsln. Emperor William's Offer. Berlin (By Cable).?Emperor William : has pledged his imperial word to pay 1000 taels (about ?7*J0) to any one ac coniplishing the deliverance of any ! foreigner of any nationality who is n6w shut up In Pekln and who shall be handed over alive to a German or other foreign Magistrate. News Items. Sir Frederick M. Hodgson, Governor ' of the African Gold Coast, has sent a dispatch to London saying that he abandoned Comassie because of short- 1 ige of supplies. The new leaf house being built at Danvlle by the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, Winston, will be of brick, sixlTO feet, three stories. Shot by a Jezlous Husband. Bristol, Va..
