The Chiâ€" nese assertions that the members of the foreign legations are still safe have been _ so often repeated that they are again beginning to raise hopes in some quarters. According to The Daily Telegraph‘s St. Petersburg correspondent. . the Russian â€" Government is already in possession of definite news that all the foreigners in Pekin were massaâ€" cred on July 6.
