TEN PERSONS WIRE INJURED. (*roui«(or« Discharge of the Evening Gun at Camp I.in’olu Caused by a Cigarette. Springfield, 111., July 20.—Ten persons were injured, two fatally, by the premature discharge of the evening gun at national gut rd encampment, Camp Lincoln,'1 last evening. The explosion was’ caused by some one throwing a lighted cigarette into powder Which had fallen to the ground. The accident occurred in t he presence of a large crowd of visitors to the camp. Corporal Balsley (.rid Jesse Rupert, acting quartermastei, were loading the evening gun, assisted by several men of Battery A. A sa ck of powder was placed in the mouth af the cannon, and Rupert was about t« drive the cht-rge home. The powder Kick was too large for the gun, and in oreing it into the cannon the canvas was torn, some of the powder fell to the ground just below the nozzle of the cannon. Private Rupert stood facing the gun, ramrod in hand. Balsley a ;o faced the gun while a number of soldiers and civilians were gathered around despite the commands of the officers in charge to keep back. Suddenly some one uttered the words: “Watch them scatter.” There was a flash of "powder on the ground, the flame was conu .i unicated to powder which was beiiu;- forced into the cannon, and the gr»r was discharged, the ramrod being broken and shot from the cannon. Ikilsley and Rupert had their clothes blown from their tx dies, which were s lackened by powder. The others staggered back, burned and blinded. All of the wounded were taken to hos pitals.

ALL IS EXPECTATION. Important New* Hourly Expeetcd tuff ton — minister Wu*to C done* t'othtkse. •d at wuk* y !on®~ ' jt' ' Washington, July 30.—There is a growing feeling at the state department that- news of the utmost importance may be forthcoming at any moment ftorn Pekin. It was even thought that something might be received yesterday, but tins hope wa* doomed to disappointment tVJiNt ihe Belief i* Hu.ed Upon. It is believed that the basis for this expectation is the knowledge on the part of the officials that certain machinery heretofore set in motion, may result in the opening up of communication, through some secret but reliable channels. It is known that a second effort has befjn made by our own government to get- another message from Mr. Conger, aud that nearly all of the powers a I so have resorted to private agencies in their own interest, with • like object. ■ V - ■■

One of Col. tlurum'i l.aat Acta. The fact has just been developed that one of the last acts of the late Col. Liscum before his death at Tien i Tsin was to undertake the ditquitch of a spy to Pekin. , Gen. Dorwml. the British commanding' officer at Tien Tsin, also sent out two messengers.^ and it is believed that the Japanese did the same. Up to'riate not one of these messengers has returned to Tien Tsui, nor has then been a single word heard from any ol them ' * Wn’a Couldcurr I'nahaken. Minister Wu is perhaps the basis £o» this hope on our part, and he mainI tains ah unshaken confidence in his original assertion that the news, when' ! it does come, will show that the lega* tinners arc alive. The message reported to have come through Missionary Wilder, at v'he Foo, is regarded as most promising. Minister Wu had no cablegrams him- ■ : self yesterday, nor had the state department any directly from China. Nothing furthtr has been heard as to the date set for the beginning of the movement from Tien Tsin toward Pekin, and it is said here that this is i a detail that must he fixed by the raili- c tary commanders upon the spot. Mointn for the Sixth Cavalry. A message came 1< the war department from the quartermaster on the | Lenox announcing the arrival of that | ship, together with the Conemaugh at j Kobe, Japan. They have "aboard the - i mounts^for the Sixth cavalry, and al* j though they will start for Taku ai i once, not less than five days will be j consumed in this last stage of the i voyage. It is doubtful whether Gen. Chaffee would care to leave Taku with- , cut horses for the .Sixth cavalry, particularly as, according to all reports, cavalry is needed for successful operations, in the fiat country lvIng between Tien Tsin and Taku. This fact alone may delay operations until late in the present w’eek, though at least a portion of the international col« umn may start to-day. Confidence In Japan Renewed. Assurances received here show that the Japanese government is doing all in its power to facilitate the international movement and, though the good will of the Japanese was never suspected as far as the United Stales is concerned, the knowledge is gratify

Naval Hermits* and Stares. Secretary Long had a cable message yesterday from the commander of the Buffalo, at Hong Kong, stating that he has sailed for Taku. The Buf* falo is taking out many relief men for the naval crews and also |ias a lot,of ►tores aboard for the approaching campaign. Report from Lient.-Col. Coclidfre. The war department received a cablegram from Lieut.-Col. Coclidge, who, assumed command of the Ninth infantry atter the death of Col. Liscum, giving an account of the part played by that organization during the fighting at Tien Tsin. The report is as follows:Under Fire for Fifteen IXonra. “Che Foo, Corbin. Washington: Six companies, Ninth infantry, under Lisenm, with marines, comma 1 ded by Meade, joined British forces under Gen. Barward in conjunction with French and Japanese, and attacked southwest part of the walled city at daybreak on the 13th. The Ninth infantry, on the right, were east of the south gstte protecting the allied forces from flanking fire. After being under fire for 15 hours, they were withdrawn to the outer mud wall at night. The Ninth in* fantry had 16 killed, 69 wounded and one missing out of 420 engaged at this point. Company A, posted at the railroad station ej st of the Pci Ho, was exposed to heavy shrapnel fire, losing two killed and seven wounded, in addition to the foregoing. Blew Up the Gate and Entered City. “On the morning of the 14tli, the Japanese blew up the south gate, entering the walled city, and the allied forces entered the town. They assigned the southeast quarter to the Americans for police and protection. Guards were established in the Ameiv. iean quarter, which was already oir fire. The British commander highly praised the American soldiers for arduous work and gallantry in a communi cation to me, at Tien Tsin, July 26. \ [Signed] “OOOLIDGE.” ,
