It said thet all the minors were in the British le- gation, short of food, hard pressed and unable to hold out many days. (This is significant, for it is the latest dispatch from Pe- king,aside from those through Chinese sources since Sir Robert Hart’s message of June 6, when he said the guns were trained on the legation.)

Major General Wood, at a dinner at the | Country Club and the Chinese situation was informally discussed. the Cabinet has been called for to-morrow morning at 11 o'clock.

There probably will be diplomatic tan- | gles in abundance to be solved when this stage is reached, but in the mean- time the powers will work together to put down the insurrection and save China | from her own people. A tentative proposi- tion is under consideration by the various powers for the appointment of an inter- | pational commission to investigate the entire Chinese question and map out a plan for the co-operation of the powers for the future government of China in such a way as to give assurance of the safety of foreigners and thelr property in the empire. This proposition has not yet aken definite shape, however. There is not at present even an agreement as to the quota of troops that each power Is to furnish.

United States Minister Allen at Seoul | cables the State Department that Boxers | and Chinese_are in force within a lew; miles of the Korean frontier. The natives | of Ping Yan, the most northern province of Korea, are much alarmed and are flee- ing. The foreigners remain in safety. The Government is very anxious. The buoyant and hopeful feeling of yes- terday as to the Chinese situation was strengthened to-day by the addition of the confirmatory dispatch from Consul Fowler, at Chefu, touching the safety of the legationers at Peking on July 9. Of course it is understood that Mr. Fowler's information came from the fountain head, as did Mr. Wu's of yesterday, namely the famous Yuan Shan Kai, the Military Gov- ernor of Shantung province. w 9. existed up to a very recent date between this official and the imperial court at Pe- king, he having been commander of the tmperial bodyguard, there is a disposition here to attach more credence to his dis- patches than would be accorded to those of other Chinese officials. on the presumption that he has no induce- ment to falsify the facts. The Chinese Minister called on Secre- tary Hay this morning and had a ten min- utes’ talk with him. Minister Wu said he thought the situation looked much brighter as a result of dispatches received yesterday. HOW AMERICANS WERE FIRST TO REACH THE LEGATIONS AT PEKING. ALLEJO, July 17.—A private letter, dated June 19, received here to-day by the wife of a naval officer from her husband, who is with the Asiatic squadron, says in regard to the heroism of Captain B. H. Mc€alla, who commanded the first landing party after the outbreak of the Chinese trouble: “Many words of praise are spoken as to the heroism of Captain B. H. McCalla, who, when he landed, demanded a train to transport his men to Pe- king, ed this away ahead of any European poyer, he returned to Taku for reinforcements. now with Admiral Seymour fighting his way to unfortunate Peking.” This letter also states that the commander of the Chinese fleet, when he was called upon to surrender, did so, in the face of a vastly superior naval force of the allied nations; but upon being taken aboard the German ship he took his life with a revolver after saying that he preferred death to being returned to his coun- trymen after having surrendered. He declared he would be put to the most horrible torture before being killed by his own countrymen. and on being refused seized a train and ran his men to Peking, and was the first to enter the city and place a guard around the legations.
