Her of- | ficers claim they do not know her destina- tion, but believe she is bound for China. The Buffalo was scheduled to go to | Christiania and thence to the United | States, but these orders are said to have | been revoked. It is clatmed she has | about 700 men on board.

MANDARINS COMPELLED TO KOW TOW TO BOXERS SHANGHAI June 20.—Telegrams from Tient: dated June 15, and forwarded | by post, say that the foreign missionaries at Pao Ting Fu are safe, being-guarded by the troops of General Nieh. Twenty- five Americans, with a Gatling gun, have arrived. In the forelgn settlement the chapels have been burned and the mission stations of the American Board of For- elgn Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church and of the London Missionary Society are practically in the hands of the Boxers. The local authorities are paralyzed. Sympathetic mandarins are ordered out in sedan chairs and compelled to “kow tow’ to the Boxers in the streets. All forelgn servants are deserting their masters. The United States gunboat zlonacacy, the Russian battleship Navarif and the French cruiser Pascal have arriVed. The German protected cruiser Kaiserin Au- gusta has departed for Taku. ADMIRAL KEMPFF SENDS A BRIEF MESSAGE WASHINGTON, June 20.—The Navy De- partment has just given out the following statement regarding the contents of a dis- pateh from Admiral Kempff brought to Chefu from Taku, and forwarded by Com- marder Taussig of the Yorktown: The department has received a_cablegram from Admiral Kempff, dated June 20. He says the Taku forts were captured by the other for- elgn forces; that heavy firing v;x heard a Tientsin on the evening of the 17th inst. He is making common cause with the forelgn pow- ers for general protection. There are 300 Ameri- | ? fi ! % is possible thdt the admiral means him- self, at Taku, heard heavy firing in gress at Tientsin, thirty miles di % though with an open river above him to that point and gunboats capable of navi- gating the channel lying at Tienain, it would seem that he snould hatc peen able in that case to ascertain what the firing meant in the two days that elapsed before the date of the dispatch. Naval officers generally bitterly regret that Admiral Kempff was not in the fight- ing at Taku. Up to the recelpt of his dispatch this afternoon they had continu- ed to hope, even in the face of the for- eign reports to the contrary, that the American naval forces had taken some part In repelling the attack of the Chinese forts. But the admiral's state- ment that the forts were captured by the other foreign forces dismissed that hope. The prevailing idea among the naval of- ficers is that the reduction of these forts was absolutely necessary to the safe progress of any international relief ex- edition to- Peking and that Admiral empff should have found it to have been within his duty in the protection of “all American interests,” to have borne his part in the burden. = Much depends, how- ever, on the exact terms of his instruc- tlons, and In fact it is not known definite- 1y whether or not he actually recefved ail of his instructions. The responsible of- ficials therefore are making no criticisms of the admiral's conduct. The administration is sald to be ‘very much embarrassed because of the, length of time which necessarily will elapse be- fore the United States military reinforce- ments reach China. When General Mac- Arthur at Manila received instructions to send a regiment of infantry to Taku with all possible dispatch it was impossible for him to comply immediately because of raging storms. Had the order for the troops been issued when the troubles at Peking were reported to be Inevitable, it is more than likely that the troops in the Philippines would have started before the prevailing typhoon made such a step im- possible and would now be on Chinese soil. ‘There is every assurance that General MacArthur executed his instructions as meptly as ponlible and that the delay n the departure of the troops was due en- tirely to conditions that could not have been anticipated or guarded nst.
