• ■ — [Per Mail Steamer at Auckland] San Francisco, June 13. War interest now centres in China, though South African affairs appear not to be as near settlement as the decided British success would indicate. As yet the partition of the Chinese Empire among the Powers, and instigated b)' Russia in some minor trouble secins to affect foreign interests mainly and the situation is grave for foreigners notwithstanding that the warnings set out in many unofficial despatches are more alarming than is nesessary. The London Times to-day issued an extra edition publishing the following despatch from Pekin, dated June 12 :— The Chancellor of the Japanese Legation, Sugyama Akira, while proceeding alone and unprotected on official duty was brutally murdered by soldiers of Tun;? Fut Siang, a favourite body-guard of the EmpressDowager, at Manigate station yesterday. Reinforcements are daily expected. The present isolated position of Pekin, the destruction of foreign property in the country and the insecurity ©f life directly is attributed to the treachery of the Chinese Government. President M'Kinley's re-election 13 a foregone conclusion.
