N & X Ticn ling & e B |fl | ERLIN, Aug. 16.—Count von Wald- ersee, accompanied by the Ccuntes and by Vice Admiral von Walder- see, his brother, visited the United States “embassy this morning and asked John B. Jaeckson, secretary of the | embassy, to present his best compliments | to President McKinley. He spoke in the highest terms of the American troops, saying: “I know what they can do and will consider it a great honor to have such gallant soldiers .under my com- mand.” Before leaving Hanover yesterday he made a speech to the Workingmen's Liedertafel, saving that he hoped to finish his task and return soon to Hanover. In | response to the address of the municipal deputation he said: “With trust in God and in the firm, | cheerful courage of my troops, T hope to carry out the plans and overcome all dif- ficulties.” The pres: points out that Count von Waldersee is talking too much and a vises him to talk less. Several journals have dubbed him “Felt Marshal.” In the course of a conversation at the office of the General Staff to-day he said: “The general situation for the allies is unfavorable, even if Peking is taken or is about to be taken, since the allies are everywhere on the defensive except in this advance on Peking. It is necessary to adopt the strategical offensive through- out China." His idea seems to be to have the allies act in conjunction with the Russian forces in the provinces of Kirin and Sheng King, by way of Mukden. Count von Waldersee will leave to-mor- row for Cassel, where farewell festivities will be held on Saturday. They will con- sist of a military parade and a banquet to be attended by a number of generfis. The banquet will also take the form of a celebration of’the seventieth birthday of Emperor Francis Joseph. The Protestant mission here has re- ceived a cable from Canton saying that the missions at Tiechi Chin Namon ana Luk Hang have been destroyed. The first was in the northern part of the province is | of Quang Tong and the second in the southern part. The German officers think the allies wili not atiempt to hold Peking, but will re- legations to Tientsin. g <o B A CHINESE DEFEATED BY FIGHTING- COSSACKS ST.

Although the Rus- sians were inferior in numbers and had only two guns they made combined front and flank attacks on the Chinese on Au- gust 10. The Chinese succeeded. in break- ing up the flank movement and fought with great stubbornness, but eventually they were compelled by a fierce Cossack attack on their center to evacuate the po- sition and withdraw the guns. BRITISH TROOPS NOT FIT TO SEND ABROAD LONDON, Aug. 17.—Viscount Wolseley, Field Marshal and Commander-in-Chief of the British army, delivered, according to the Daily Mail, the most scathing cons demnations ever heard at Aldershot after witnessing yesterday’s maneuvers.

Canton and going to the White Houss found his advisors@eady to present to him_the issue now advanced by China The appeal from Li Hung Chang came first to the Chinese Minister, who, early in the day, econveyed it to the Dec partment of State. i Although it was not the regular day for a meeting of the Cabinet word was conveyed to those Cab- inet officers in the city that a speci al Cabinet session would be held at 11 o’clock. Secretary Root, who has been a guiding factor in the Chinese negotiations, was with the President before the meeting opened, presenting the Chinese communi. catlons and to discuss the Instructions already sent to Chaffee. With the Pros- ident at the Cabinet table were Secretaries Root, Gage and Wilson and Post- master General Smith. The conclusions reached can be stated best by reference to the succinct response of the United States Government set forth in official announcement. After the Cabinet meeting the American reply w: ister, who, later in the day, 3 Thus the issue was framed and unalterabiy the United States declined to consider the 'proposition of Li Hung Chang for a halt and an armistice at the city of Tungchau. Even the supreme appeal of the venerable Chinese states- man that the Chinese empire would be shaken by an advance of the allles ba. yond Tungchau was not heeded. The answer of the United, States is that our position is the same now as it has been from the outset, namely, that the Ministers must be delivered at the walls of Peking and in such circumstances as will meet the judgment of the military commanders on the spot. Tt will be observed that the American memorandum of reply gives Li Hung Chang practically nothing beyond a repetition of the two dispatches heretofore sent to General Chaffee. The first dispatch of August 12 gives a sharp re- to Barl Li's first communication, laying down the condition “that the s composing the relief expedition shall be permitted to enter Peking un- molested.” The second dispatch of August 14 merely amplifies General Chaffee's authority in anticipation of China's acceptance of the Amearican demand that the relief column must enter Peking. The second order to General Chaffee is predicated solely of the allied forces at Peking. It specifically ities are willing to deliver the legationers General Chaffee is authorized to make and with other commanders without awaiting ‘Washington. Whether this arrangement thus freely committed to General Chaf- fee is to be an armistice, a truce or some other device of military science is for him to decide at Peking. The two dispatches to General Chaffee contemplate action only at Peking and it is for him to determine upon the manner of delivery as sent to the Chinese Min- cabled it to Li Hung Ci upon the presence states that if the Chinese author- “to the relief column at Peking’”’ then CArTy out an arrangement in concert the slow process of a reference to at the inner gate or at the outer wall. Thus there can be no misunderstuading of the issue as made up. Li Hunk Chang's appeal for an armistice at Tungchau is reseci ted and the continually reiterated demand of the United States that the Ministers be delivered to the allied troops at Peking is reinforced. The latest dispatch from Minister Conger was scanned with but it brought little information beyond that already at hand, however, it gave the Government strong encouragement, as. it categorical answer to the inquiries of the State Department, This was the first definite knowledge that we were in direct touch with cur Minister, for all of L. dispatches up to to-day had conveyed information without reference to the re- peated inquiries of the Government. That the situation is desperate is shown by his statement that one of the attacks upon the legation occurred the night be- fore the dispatch wae sent. In response to a request of the State Depastmecs Mr. Conger gives the list of the brave band of American marines who fell in de- fense of the legation. It is evident that the Minister is informed as to the a firoach of the column, as he says the rearing of the allied forces ‘“gives g; o The two dispatches to General Chaftee,senton the 12th and 14th, in dupllcatefm Minister Conger, so that he is well advised by m":e{lem!eer;tra!l:: movement of the troops and of General Chaffee" 2 3 s Sl D €'s authority to negotiate at the Beyond the important diplomatic exchanges of the day and the Conger message, the chief interest centered in the exacty wher::;o:::eol‘t‘tt:; allled army. From Japanese sources came the most advanced information first In the Tokio advices that Tungchau had been occupied and, later i (s day, tn an official dispatch from the Japanese Foreign Office to Minister Takaniza Lo firming the report. The Minister promptly communicated his information 'to the Department of State and it was accepted by the officials, including the Secre. tary of War, as the latest and most authentic news of the whereapouty oy ity relief column. Some days had elapsed, however, since thisoceupation ot Tung- chau and there had been ample time to cover the twelve miles between that place and Peking. Whether the allied forces actually were there was the all- absorbing question, of which every one in official and unofficial e R cial life awaited word Secretary Root was satisfied that Tungchau had been left behi was one of the reasons why it was regarded as futile to cons‘l‘d:rd. l’lnd]-lth" Chang's proposition for an armistice at Tungchau, — A dispatch was received during the day from Admiral Remey Japanese report of the occupation of Tungchau, and adding the statement als on Japanese authority, that the attack on Peking was expected to be made y:ut 5 day.

Inspector Thompson was near Eighth avenue and Fortieth street, when he no- ticed a tumult aboard an Eighth-avenue car. He ran with a couple of men to in- vestigate and found that a negro passen- ger was the cause’ of the trouble. He had not done any wrong, but several white men tried to get in a punch at the black man and two women tried to stab him in the face with hatpins. Inspector Thompson arrived just in_time to see a paving-stone crash through the car win- dow and lay the negro out with a stun- ning blow on the head. Louis Swartz, 18 years old, threw the stone. He was ar- rested. Many fights between whites and biacks resulted to-night. Alexander Robinson, a negro, and a colored friend were on a Thirty-fourth-street car. Some one set up a shout as the car neared Eighth ave- nue that the negroes ought to be lynched. A man with a clothesline appeared from somewhere and the two negroes were pulled off the car.
