j London, July 31. A cipher message
! yesterday from Sir Claude Mac
donald, the Hrltish minister at Pekin.
and dated July 21, Is accepted on all
' sides as dispelling any douhta that
! might still have existed regarding the
, genuineness of the dispatches. Owing
to an error in transmission the mes
sage fails to show the uumher of
wounded. David Oliphant and War
ren were two student Interpreters. Sir
Claude's message is as follows:
"British legation. Pekin, June 20 to
July 16 repeatedly attacked by Chinese
troops on all sides. Doth rifle and ar
tillery fire. Since July 16 an armistice,
but a cordon is strictly drawn on both
sides of the position. Chinese barri
cades close to ours. All women and
children in the British legation. Casu
alties to date 32 killed, including Capt.
Strouts, A number of wounded In hos
pital, including Capt. Halllday. Rest
or legation all well except David Oli
phant and Warren, killed."
The message fails to mention the
other legations and other matters of
pressing importance to know, hut It
should be liorae In mind that the
British minister may not be aware
that all bis previous dispatches have
been suppressed. He may be under the
Impression that the government Is
fully posted regarding all recent oc
currences. Apart from this dispatch there it
practically no fresh news, although a
special from Tien Tsln asserts that
the British and American forces are
getting ready to advance within 48
hou rs.
Li Hung Chang remains at Shang
hai. He says that the great heat pre
vents him continuing the journey to
Pekin.
Dispatches received on Sunday de
clared that the ambassadors were
"held as hostages pending the result
of overtures for the abandonment of
bos Jli'lea earalpst China."

Cincinnati, July Jl. Charles H.
Davis, of Newport. Ky.. vies president
of the Amalgamated Association of
Iron and Steel Workers, stated today
that a strike of 14,000 puddlers la the
United States Is probable. They de
manded an Increase of from $5 to $5.50
a tap, and the committees from the

agree. The independent mills are
willing to grant the demands, accord
ing to Davis, but the others are not.
and if the demands are not granted
within two weeks Davis declares a
general strike will be ordered.
