REPORTED COLLISION WITH THE INTRUDING CHINESE

Alliance Between China and Japan Declared Impossible,

(Sexorat to Tags Examiner. |

Lonpoy, July 23.—Sir Chis Chen Lo Feng Lob, Chinese Minister to Great Britain, visited the Foreign Office on Saturday and communicated a despatch purporting to be an imperial edict giving assurances of the safety of the Foreign Minister of Pekin.

The alleged edict was reseived with out comment,

A correspondent has the highest authbor- ity for saying that not the slightest cre- deuce is attached to it by the British Govw~ ernment, anu the Government is quite uos able to understand the credence which is nccorded at Washington to Minister (onger’s message to the State Department there.

Lord Salisbury, according to this authority, is convinced of the truth of the Origival reports of the massacre of the foreigners at Pekin.

The edict ia dated Pekia, Juiv 18, and:

was transmitted by Viceroy N sutaa,aader date today, and is as follows : ‘Fora month past, with to- exzeption of aGerman minister, who was assassinal- ed by repels who are under apprehension of severe punishment, we have ordered other foreign ministers to be well protected in the big court,and happily they are safe and soun!.”

Sr. Perersscre, July 23.—An Imperial ukase order? that a state of seige be pro- claimed in the military districts of Si- beria, Turkestan and Suneratchinck, and that all the recervista in those districts be called to the colors.

Hoye Kone, July 23.—The Indian brigade nas been ordered to remain here.

The British firet-class battleship Golan and two Indian transports with troops have arrived off Hong Kong.

Yoxouama, July 23.—The Korean Gov ernment continues to send troops to the frontier, a collision with intruding Chinese having already occurred.

The Japanese papers express sympathy with the unfortunate Emperor of Chins, but are emphatic in declaring that an alliance between China and Japan is quite im possible.
