London dispatches say no foreigner can be coaxed to speak in Pekin as Chinese officials defend recent messages and assert foreigners in the capital are alive. In Tiantsin, Admiral Remey reports fighting continued from July 3, with allied forces near exhaustion. Reports vary on Chinese forces, but their manpower seems inexhaustible. Japanese reinforcements are awaited and the Empress’s restoration appears unlikely to take hold. The emperor’s young rule is disputed, while a harsh anti foreigner slogan grows.
