eays that the Emperor, addressing the troops at Bremerhaveu before they sailed for China, yesterday, said that the expedi- tion was to avenge an outrage committed against the sancity<f the ambassadors and an uoprecedented breach of the right of hospitality. “If you close with the enemy” said the Emperor,“you know no quarter will be given and no prisoners taken. Use your weapons so that for a thousand yerrs no Chinaman will dare to beard a German,—and pave the way for civilizativn now and evermore.

Lonpox, July 26.—The governor of Bombay presidency, Lord Northcote, of Kxeter, reports a geveral raivfal!,** suffi. elent for agricultural purposes,’ in Surat and Southern Gujerat. He says that 24 inches of rain had fallen since yesterday in Godbra and Panch Manhale, so inch in several parts of Almedabad, over half an inch im parts of Ka’ra and sufficient in the portions Of Baroda adjoining Surat.

In the remaining part of Baroda no rain has fallen, acd an extensive failure of crops is inevitable, unless there is im- mediate relief. In OQichamandal the rain- fall hae been ineufficient, and cultivation ie at a-tandaiil in almost the entite province of Kuthlawar, where cattle are dying of starvation and scarcity of water.

There have been good rains in Bombay, Khandeieh and the Deccan where pros- pects are greatly improved. The death rate in Gujarat has decreased nearly half as compsred with that of May.

War in the Air.

Meanwhile active prepar- ations in the Yang Tse region for war in progress, not for war ‘against the rebels but against foreign powers. Junk loads of Chinese soldiers and Boxers dieguised as Coolies,are arriving here daily. The arsenal is full of arms and supplies are constantly coming in. The Nankin and Wu Chang garrisons are being constantly _Teinforced, and the viceroys admit that | they cannot much longer withstand the | pressure brought to bear by Sheng and Li ; Hung Chang upon them to join forces with Prince Tusn.

Another Menace.

Hone Kone, July 27.—The signs of menacing activity on the part of the secret society known as the “Triads = are caus- ing alarm. The Boxers are believed to be an offshoot of the Triads, whose ramilica- tions are widespread throughout the southern provinces of China. The orgari- zation is distinctly anti-foreign and anti- Manchu and numbers of Canton troops are enrolled ia its ranks.
