They reached, a Chinese merchant steamer, which was to bear them to Hhanghai, and an hour later learned that the forts of Taku were to be bombarded that night. Their steamer was just behind the foreign gunboats, separated from them by a narrow neck of land and in the line of fire from the forts. All night they remained thus, with shells bursting over their heads. They saw the Monocaey struck and witnessed the termination of the bombardinent in the blowing up of the forts, bringing death to thousands of Chinese.

The title of sentiment, which hart been markedly pessimistic, turned yesterday with the an noitnctment of the victory of the allies at Tien-tsin and the capture of the forts and native city and gathered further strength from Minister Wu's cablegram declaring that the foreign ministers at Peking were safe July i). Aside from these dispatches the arrival of the president and the special cabinet meeting called to consider the situation were the features of the day. They met at o'clock in the afternoon, lew than an hour after the president reached the White House. Over 100 newspaper men throiiged the corridors while the cabinet was sitting "behind dosed door*.

Admiral Remey's meffifiRe of the success following the earlier hard fighting Ht Tien-tnin helped to relieve the anxiety of the president and hiH advisers, hut Minister Wii'k message was responsible for the really ho|»efnl feeling that prevailed. Keeretary Itoot furnished to the cabinet a nummary of the troops available not only in this country* b»t In Cuba and gave it as Ida opinion that between 10,000 and 12.000 troop* in all could be spared for service in China. These reenforcement* are to be rushed through at the earliest possible moment. Most If not all of them, it Is believed, cnn be landed by the end of August or early in September. The appointment of Karl Li as viceroy of Chili is considered by Minister Wu as one of the most important developments in the entire situation. Chili is the great province in which Peking is located and is the very heart of the Iloxer movement, so that the great viceroy now assumes supreme pow.fr at the point of greatest danger. Minister Wu is satisfy that if Li Hung Chang had been at Peking there would have been no such outbreak as has C»ccurred, as the viceroy is a stern military man, who believes in nipping such movements in the bud. The state department officials are anxious to accept Wu*h message as accurate, but there are some clouds of doubt about it. The question naturally arises, as it has many times in the past two weeks, if tho Chinese government can communicate in this way with its representative* abroad, why can it not permit the foreign ministers represented to l»e under its protection nlso to communicate with their governments?JOHN O'D.
