In riew ot this situation It is tolly to talk of sweeping punishments of guilty Chinese leader*.

The ministers will hug their delusions no longer, and no further negotiations will take place until the punishment question is settled. It Is barely posslhle, though improbable, that the court will swallow Its own ultimatum. It it does not, It Is thought here that force must supersede diplomacy, which means that a powerful expe ion of allies will have to start for Sl-ne l-tu when the winter is over to break u the hostile forces around the court, capture tbe leaders, rescue the court and bring tbe government to Peking. The court'e latest act appeare, therefore, to many as the first step in a new drama of blood.

Thla dispatch is not confirmed from any other source, and the report may be only another vcralon of a rumored German ultimatum. Another Tien tsin diapatch says: "It ia aaaerted here that the real reason for the deadlock in Peking is a difference of opinion between the foreign envoys and the military authorities, the former favoring withdrawal of the troops to Tientain and the latter urging a forward movement. It is regarded aa possible that a certain power may advance independently should the deadlock continue."

Fifty women and 100 children, together with a few men, he has sent to Vryburg.

Goffs, Kan., Feb. 16.—Fifteen masked women broke into the Missouri Pacific freight depot here last night and destroyed 15 jugs of whisky and four kegs of beer. Breaking into a freight depot if a penitentiary offense, and the Missouri Pacific officiajs announce that detectives will be brought here to learn the identity of the women concerned in the affair, so they may be prosecuted. The destruction of the liquor, it Is contended, was unlawful, as the depot is not a saloon aud thf liquor came from another state. It is believed that nu example will be made of the raiders, if possible, to prevent raids on depots in other parts of the state. The women raided all of the joints hero or Wednesday, and a determined fight against the saloons has been kept up since then.
