MUD FLAT NORTE.

TIENTSIN, July ist.. I have not been able to ascertain anything further in connection with Mr. Kinder's alleged dismissal, beyond the fact that Lord Salisbury on learning of the intention wited out that the British Government would not permit his dis missal save on very good cause for the same being shown by the Chinese. Mr. Kinder in his high spirited refusal to do what he considers incorrect has probably made it somewhat easy for the Chinese to prove a charge of insubor clination againt him, and many are the curious" stories told of his high-handed dealings with the Dices. But his dismissal, though Tear it is only a question of time, may not be immediate unless something unforseen occurs. Somerling probabluy will occur shortly,

I bear that the Empress Dowager succeeded in getting

away from the Capital for a few days and in the meantime concluded a secret treaty with Japan. Jung Lu hearing of it returned, and, threatened to attack the Palace with a 100 million traps if necessary rather than permit such a thing. (Which would spell the sunset of his awn power). effert, for Jung La havill talk had its the army at his back can afford to talk. I do not know whether this story

is correct, but a coup d'etat of some king is, I believe, on the tapis and you may hear of something startling at any moment. The Empress Dowager is, I know, in daily consultation with Lilung-chang, whose sympathisers are strongly Japanese, and who is cover fond of secret treaties. In the meantime the anti-foreign spirit seems to be growing. The feeling being shown in Fonchow is being echoed in Shan

ng, the southern part of Chilli and elsewhere, as instanced by the recent outrage in Mengtzu on the Tongking frontier, of which I presume you have already heard all details. In this case
