Cheng-Tu, capital of Sze Chuan, is under siege with foreigners sheltering inside the Canadian Methodist compound. About 1,800 troops defend the walls against rebels while relief is not yet attempted. The British consul reportedly barred firing boats to evacuate missionaries. The situation aims to test supplies and endurance amid ongoing engagements near Jiu-Chau.
