Our diplomatic representatives abroad, owing to their distance from the scence ot action, have had no means of know- ing the true state of things, and ac- cordingly cannot lay the views of the government before the ministers for foreign affairs of the respective powers te which they are accredited. Now we take this opportunity of going fully in- to the matter for the information of our representatives aforesaid. THE BOXER UPRISING. ‘In the first place, there arose in the provinces of Chihli and Shantung a kind of rebellious subjects, whe haa been in the habit of practising boxing and fencing in their respective villages, } and at the same time clothing their do- ings with spiritualistic and strange rites. The local authorities failed t» take due notice of them at tis time. Accordingly the iafection spread with astonishing rapidity. Within the space of a mouth it seemed to make its appearance everywhere, and finally even reached the capital itself. Every one looked upon the movement as supernatural and strange, and many joined <« ON CHRISTIANS. “Then tnere were lawless and treach- erons persons who sounded the cry of ‘Down with Christianity.” About the middle of the fifth moon these persons began to create disturbances without warning. Churches were burned and converts were killed. The whole city was in a ferment. A situation was createp which coula not be brought under control. At first the foreign powers requested that foreign troops be allowed to’enter the capital for the pro- tection of the legations. PROTECTION OF FOREIGNERS. “The Imperial government, having the occasion, granted the request as an by MINARD’S LINIMENT MRS. A. LIVINGSTONE. Lot 5, P. E. 1. metiem by MINARD’S LINIMENT. Mahone Bay.

Moreover. they strolled along the city without straint and even attempted to enter the Tung Hua Gate (the eastern gate of the palace grounds). They only desisted when admittance was positively forbidden On this account both the soldiers and the people were provoked to resent- ment and voiced their indignation with one accord INTERVENTION OF THE POWERS. “Lawless persons then took ad- vantage of the situation to do mischief | and became bolder than ever in burn- ‘ing and killing’Christian converts. The powers thereupon attempted to rein- force the foreign troops in Pekin but the reinforcements encountered tre- sistance and defeat at the hands of the | insurgents on the way and have not yet been able to proceed. The in- surgents of the two provinces of Chihli and Shan tuny had by this time effected a complete union and could not be separated. The Imperial Gov- / ernment was by no means reluctant to issue orders for the entire suppression of this insurgent element, But as the trouble was so near at hand there was a great fear that due protection might not be assured to the legations it the anarchists should be driven to. ex- tremities, thus bringing on a national calamity. There also was a fear that uprisings might occur in the provinces of Chihii and Shantung a* the same time with the result that born foreign missionaries and Chinese Guncerts m the provinces might fall vicums to popular fury. It was therefore ab- solutely necessary to consider the mat- ter from every point of view. Asa measure of precaution it was finally de- cided to request the foreign ministers to retire temporarily to.Tien Tsin for safety. THE MURDER OF VON KETTELER. “Tt was while the discussion of this proposition was in progress that the German minister, Barun Von Ketteler, was assassinated by a riotous mob one morning while on his way to the Tsungli Yamen. On the previous day the Ger- man minister had written a letter ap- pointing a time for calling at the Tsung li Yamen. But the Yamen, fearing he might be molested on the way, did not consent to the appointment as suggest- ed by the minister. Since this occur- rence the anarchists assumed a more bold and theatening attitude,and con- sequently it was not deemed wise to carry out the project of sending ihe diplomatic corps to Tien Tsin under an escort. However, orders were issued to the troops detailea for the protection of the legations, to keep stricter watch ind take greater precautions against any emergency. FALL OF THE TAKU FORTS. “To our surprise, on the twentieth day of the fifth moon (June 16) foreign (nae val) cfficers at Taku called upon Lo Jung Kwang,the general commanding, and demanded his surrender of theforts notifying him that failing to receive compliance they would at two o’clock the next day take steps to seize the forts by force. Lo Jung Kwang being bound by the duties of his office to hold the forts, how could he yield to the de- mand ? On the day named they actual- ly fired upon the forts,which responded and kept up a fighting all day, and then surrendered. CHINA’S POSITION. “Thus the gonflict of forces began, but certainly the initiative did not come from our side. Even supposing that China were not conscious of her true condition, how could she take such a step asto engage in war with all the powers simultaneously, and how could she, relying upon the support of an anarchistic populace, go into war with the powers ? Our position in this matter ought to be clearly understood by all the powers ‘The above is a staterrent of the wrongs we have suffered, and how China was driven to the unfortunate position from which she could not escape. “Our several ministers will make knewn accurately and in detail the contents of this decree and the policy of China !te the ministers of foreign affairs in their respective countries, and assure them that military author- ities are still strictly enjoined to afford protection to the legations as hitherto Rae - cn i the anarchists, they will be severely dealt with as circumstances permit. “The several ministers will continue in the discharge of the duties of their offices as hitherto without hesitation or doubt. This telegraphic decree to be transmitted for their information. Re- spect this.” The Foreign Office has received a despatch from Taku, stating that the admirals have decided that eighty thousand troops will be necessary for an advance on Pekin. Of this number twenty thousand will be required to garrison ‘Taku and Tiens Tin and maintain the line of communications. The American hospital ship Maine has sailed from Southampton for China. as the result. 17, 1900 . = eee : extraordinary mark of courtesy beyond {to the utmost of their power. As for entire day. Two guns under the escort of the Scots Greys, placed in advance of the main body, were captured after a stout resistance. Nearly every man was killed or wound- ed. A Maxim gun was brought into action early in the day. The fire was too hot, and the men were forced to retire. A sergeant, aided by seven volunteers, saved the gun. There was a continuous fire all along the line, the Lincolnshire Regiment men vig. orously replying, About three o’clock in the afternoon the Boers appeared to the left of the position occupied by the British.

A Pretoria despatch states jhat details are now at hand regarding the disaster to the Lincolnshire Regi- ment on Wednesday. It appears that five companies were ordered on Tuesday to proceed and hold the pass through Magalesburg, in the neighborhood of Daspoort Fort. They arrived in the afternoon at the pass, where three companies, with two guns, took up a position and camped for the night, leaving two companies on a plain south of the pass. The eastern hill was rugged, rocky and in- accessible, but further east apparently approachable from the main ridge. At daybreak yesterday the Boers ap- peared on the eastern kopje and opened a heavy fire. Confusion ensued. The colonel ordered the men to take up a positivn on a kopje west of the gap.

One officer, who succeeded in making his escape, had an encounter with an armed native. It is feared that the losses of the British were numerous.
