THE CHINESE WAR

END IN SIGHT. ANFUITES COMPLETELY BEATEN. NEW YORK. July 25. The New York limes’ Pekin correspondent states that the debacle of the Anfuitos is complete. Fighting has ceased on all fronts in obedience to tbo presidential mandate. Chun Wunken has been appointed Director of Organisation to summon tii. 1 scattered soldiers to return to their r ...neetive headquarters. The Pekin populace is regaining confidence as the dispersed soldiery have been kept outside the citv walls, where the gates remain closed. There was one train from Tientsin yesterday, but otherwise no rail communication. The food situation is easier, and there is now 20 days’ supply in the city. The only looting hitherto has been by starving soldiers. The Anfuitos are retiring from Pangfang, Pounj. and Tungschow.
