REASONS FOR OCCUPYING ".■' ! PEKIN. The refusal of the allies to withdraw from Pekin is based on information received that the Boxers have prepared to return in strength to the capital. AN EXPEDITION NORTHWARDS. General Wilson> with 800 Americans and 600 British troops and six guns, has left Pekin to capture the San kaitein arsenal, twenty miles north of the capital, and disperse the Boxers. It is also intended to open the Northern passes in order to ensure coal and food supplies being obtained for the capital. German troops were invited to the capture of Peitachin, and to assist in dispersing the Boxers in co-operation with General Wilson's column prior to the latter attacking San-kai-tein. i RESCUE OF CHRISTIANS. : The expedition of American troops under Lieutenant Wilson to rescue Chinese Christians was carried out successfully. The force scouted forty miles north-east of Pekin, and rescued fourteen converts. THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF. General Count von Waldersee and his staff have arrived at Shanghai. ALARM ON THE YANG-TSE. Liu-kin-iyi, Viceroy of the provinces of Kiang-su, Ngan-hwei and Kiang-si, fearing that the German fleet will ascend the Yang-tse, is blocking the channel, excepting a narrow passage at Kiang-yen-hien, near the mouth of the river.
