DISPATCHES CONTRADICTORY
Error Reported in Consul Warren's Message
Nankin Now Threatened.
London. July . 2:C a. in. Th foreign
consuls at Shanghai met on July 7 and of
ficially announced thnt tho legations at Pe
kln were safe on July 4. Tho foregoing
statement read with Consul Warren's dU
patch to the Foreign Office on Saturday
makes It possible to believe that tho lega
tions will hold out for a number of days
yet. Having fought to a standstill the
first outburst of fanatical fury. It is be
lievable that something may Intervene to
save thein. The news, after the sinister
rumors of the last ten days, is enough
upon which to build up hopes.
The Shanghai correspondent of the Ex
press, telegraphing on S-inday, at 3:10 p. m.,
however, throws doubt upon Consul War
ren's Information. He says:
Tao Tal Shc-ng" now admits that there
was an error In his communication to Gen
eral "Warren. The date of the courier's ar
rival at Chlnan-Fu was July 3, which docs
rot apply to his department from Pekln.
Tho Journey from Pekln to Chlnan-Fu oc
cupies five days. The courier, therefore,
could not have left Pekln later than June
IS. Tho date of ths massacre there, as
given by Chinese reports, was June 30 or
Jnly 1."

The real purpose Is the extermination of the
Europeans, a purpose which is clearly set
forth, and written upon the banners, of
Boxers. Their assistants await them at
Pokin. where they will begin by attacking
the churches and burning the lcgntlon-c.
With us here at the Pal-Tang, the day
practically Is ended. All tho city knows,
nil the city Is speaking of It. and a popular
outbreaking Is manifest.
"Yesterday evening. forty-thren poor
women and their children, tiling from the
massacre, arrlied nt the house of the sister-.
More than T persons accompanied

OUR TRADE WITH CHINA.
W:ir With Cliiiui Would iui.-c
Considerable CommtTfial Ls.
nrjiTiujc srEciAL.
Washington. July s.-"Wnr with China
would certainly be eltrlmental to American
trade with that Empire."
This statement was made to-day by Sec
retry of Agriculture Wilson. He continued:
"For the time being American trade would
b destroyed becau'e the merchant will not
bo able to reach the Interior of the Celes
tial Empire with his gooels. Of course
there would b a spe-clal demand for wheat,
oats, breadstuffs, horses ami mules and Hie
United States would hale to meet tho de
mand eif the allied armies, consequently tho
exportation of cereals and animals would
be Increased many fold. On the other
hand, there will be a marked falling off In
generil trade, especially In such exports as
cotton marufactures. kerosene oil. Iron and
steel manufactures, tobacco, lumber, man
ufactures of wood, parts of clock, books,
maps, engraving", perfumery and cosmetics,
scientific instruments, patent medicines, pa
per, carriages, etc., and lumber.
"The total value of these articles of ex
ports In 1S95 was J3JW.I21. The value of
wheat exports to China has averaged barely
J1W.000 a j-ear for several years. On the
other hand, the value of wheat flour export
ed to Horg-Kong alone tn 165S amounted to
33.727. Tho total value of our agricultural
exports to China In lSSS amounted to $635,
549. the principal Items being raw cotton,
-wheat flour, ginseng, malt liquors, canned
beef. milk, canned fruits and leaf tobacco.
"To show how remarkable has been the
growth of our trade with China It Is only
neces.s-ary to give a few statistics as) to com
mercial relations for ten years. From
1MO to let thero was a gain of J13.3;,li!.
The Increase was almcst entirely In ex
ports, which advanced In value from Ji
731.13 In 1S9. to JM.W440 In 1S3. Our Im
ports for ISM. amounting to Jlt.613,PJ3. were
only slightly larger than In 1SS9, when a
value of $17.03.112 was reported.
"Taking these figures as a basis, it is
easy tee ne-e that war would, for the tlmn
being. Increase agricultural exports bey0n,i
the aierage of Z per cent for the pjt ten
years, but would practically stop the exiitir
tatlnn to China of other American products
that In ten years have aieraged 93 jvr cent.
War would also Interfere materially with
our Import trade trom China, which, for the
years from 1M4 to ISM Inclusive, average

COUNTER REVOLUTION.
Plaice Chin;:, the Loader, a llroad
minded Chinnman.
From several patent facts In the Internal
politics of China, there Is- reason to believe
the statement reccivesl in Urussels from
Shanghai that l'rlne Chlnn Is heading a
counter revolution ac.iinst l'rlr.ce Tuan and.
i. 1th loyal troops, hac attacked the rebels
In Pekln.
Until very recently Prince Chine wmj
president of the Ttunjr U Yaroen or ChineM
Foreign Office. Ho lias deposed by Prince
Tuan as not sufficiently anti-foreign for Ida
purposes In addition to the pertsinal bit
terness nhich It would be natural for Prince
Ching to feel on account of hh own re
moval from office. lies close relationship to
th deposed I'mperor.
Jloreoier. from iihnt Is 'mown of hl.s
character. Prince Chtnif. 11 1 rutlona! to
presume, would foresee- that the usurpatlun
was little likely to last long-, since Tuan
had placed himself In opposition to the
whole civilized world.
By those who have met him. Ching Is de
Fcrlbed as an exceedingly prudent, and sen
flbie man, of medium stature, some 60 years
old. . .
Although he han been heard to bost that
lie neie-r lias been out of Pekln. he ha on
more than one occasion shown an Inclina
tion to discuss th affairs" of China with
well-Informed Kurop-.ui3. and ha ex
pressed jsreiit admiration for the late Oeti
rnl Ourdon and for Sir Kobert Hart, the
Jc-I'ecior General of the Chinese Customs
Fen Ice.
When difficulties with France compellrtl
the retirement of Trlnce- Kunp. probably
the moi-t enllKhte-ned of Chinese Minister,
as president of the Tsiiiir 1.1 Y.imen. In
MM. Prince Chunc. father of the recently
deposed Emperor, tried for a fhort time to
Miry em the affairs o tho Torelsn Office,
but quickly reUne;jlaMet the position to
Prince Chine, his own oltvse friend, and thu
intimate of Prince l.ime.
When Lord Charles' ilercsford was In
Pekln In October. 1W, and hud a Ioiik;
audience with All tho members of thoTbun
1.1 Yanun. Prince Chltiir seemed much Im
pressed with the Knallshman'R advocacy
nf -cforms needed to strengthen Chuia to
resist disintegration
While he fe-j-ed that the centralization of
the army ard the abolition of the provin
cial fcy'tem would le too radical an ineo
vatlon em lor-ir custom to be practicable.
Princo Chlnr. as. the result of his visitors
advice, iirranged for tho Immediate drill
ing of Z.M troops under a British ofileyr
as an experiment, and promised further to
consider the matter.
He told Lord Charles lteresford that he
considered him tho friend of China, ad
dressed letters to him after his departure
and honored him with a call at the British
lsatlon di'rins his visit to Pekln. It is
highly probable lhat Prince Chins In hls
movement against I'rince Tuan has the ac
tive aupoort of Prince Yung I.u. th Im
perial Treasurer, who has shown Ids friend
ship for foreigners, and within the last few
days sent a message to various vlceros.
urging thero to. pny no hectl to any Imperial
edict Issued since Juno, and intimating that
there was likely soon lo be another chango
In the buprrme authority."

for tuo reasons. In the first place. It fur
nishes conclusive evidence thatrels-Illon and
not war reigns In China, and In the second
place the allies will have an effective Chi

presence In the flfld against thu "Boxers"
prevent the spread of the insurrectionary

considerably surprised at the failure of the
foreign Admirals to employ the 32.000 Chi
nese troops In the vicinity of Tlen-Tsin who
had not Joined the "Boxer" movement, but
in view of Prince Ching" action. In case the
report of what he Is elolng Is correct. It Is
believed these men will cast their lot with
the allies.
It Is expected that the Navy Department
will deem it desirable to order to China,
.some of the small gunboats of 100 and 3M
tons displacement, purchased by General
Otis from the Spanish Government. There
Is reason to believe that an Inquiry has
been made on the subject. It Is pointed out
that these icsyels. none of which elraws
more than even feet, and all of which are
armed with small rapid-fire guns, could
do effective sen Ice on the Pel-Ho nnd other
small Chinese streams. It Is said that six
of these craft were recently ordered to
China, but the report cannot be confirmed.
DISPATCHES FROM KEMPFF.
Keniev Will Succeed the Admiral
American Troops.
nKPLTlLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. July . One dispatch jester
day and one to-da y w ere received from Ad
miral Kempft. Acting Secretary HackeU
cautiously withholds them from the public.
As a result. spccula,,on rif8 to-night
as t. the contents of the messages. It is
known that the dispatches yesterday relat
ed to the situation at Tlen-Tsin.
From what can be learned, the foreign Ad
mirals have been considering the plan of
action that shall be adopted for the relief
of I'ekin. but no movement need be expect
ed until the Japane-e? army corps nrrlverj
In China. Hear Admiral Heraey will su
persede Admiral Kempff In command, but
there Is reaon to bc-lieie that Admiral
KeinpfT will tie retained In Chinese waters.
At the beginning of the trouble, when the
Monocacy was tired ou. Admiral Kempff
sent an unintelligible dlspalch.whleh caused
th department to cabe him to be more ex
plicit and spare no expense, but his falluru
to respond to the fire or the Taku fort
and hN conduct since haie been enllrelr
satlhfBctoiy to the President, and the au
thorities do not care to place upon him the.
Miginu of withdrawal from Chinese waters
when his course has been approved.
Hear Admiral Kempff has been notified
that Infantry, artillery and cavalry will be
sent to his assistance, notwithstanding- the
decliratlon of tho authorities that all the
troops ordered are Intended for the Philip
pines, "to b- diverted to China only In case
of necessity."
The message sent to Admiral Kempff Is
very explicit, so far as can be learned, and
lndicatej that he will have 5.0(0 troops with
in a very short time. This body of men
will be "made up of the Ninth Infantry.
Hlxth Cavalry nnd probably the two regi
ments the department Is contemplating or
dering from the Philippines.

Jam, says a Berlin dispatch, to-day received
the following from the Governor at Tsln
Tau with reference to the promise of re
ward to any one who should accomplish the
delivery of a foreigner from Pekln:
"Being notified of your Majesty's tele
gram, tho Governor of Shan-Tung replied
that 'from tho outset I have been full of
anxiety regarding the Europeans In Pekln.
ami I have made repeated attempts to send
a messenger and get help to them, but In
vain. Now all roads to Pekln are beset with,
rebels, and therefore whatever measures
are taken now offer even less prospect of
success than before. Nevertheless, I shall
consider It my duty for their help."
