The attack began at 2a. m. The forts replied with a hot artillery fire, well di- rected against the camp of the Russian infantry. At daybreak the allied forces advanced and the Chinese received them with a rattling rifle fire, in addition to shells from heavy guns. “The ground was mined over which we advanced, and the explosion of mines killed al- most all of the 300 who fell.

In an esti- mate prepared for Comptroller Coler and submitted to State Comptroller Theodore P. Gilman yesterday it appeared that the transfer charge on specific bequests alone would amount to $50,000, No appralser has been named for the huge estate and the real valuation of the enormous fortune left by Mr. Huntington will not be known possibly for eighteen months, the time limit allowed for filing appraisement reports. It is estimated by those famillar with the affairs of Mr. Huntington that his estate Is worth $0,- 000,000. UNITED STATES PREPARES TO ACT INDEPENDENTLY OF OTHER POWERS question of punishment to negotiation. The selection of the legation guard will be left to General Chaffee, to whom it is understoofl orders have already been sent. It will comprise either the Ninth or Four- teenth Infantry; that squadron of the Sixth Cavalry consisting of four troops, | and Battery F of the Fifth Artillery, with & total of betwecn 1800 and 2000 men. The remaining troops will be withdrawn and sent to the Philippines, and the marine battalion will also be withdrawn, a part | going to the ships on the Asiatic station and a part being sent to the marine sta- tion at Cavite. e e POWERS PLAY DOUBLE GAME. Motives of Germany and Russia Open to Suspicion. TLONDON, Sept, 22, 4 a. m.—It seems | to be generally believed throughout Eu- rope that Germany purposely proposed her demand that the anti-foreign leaders ghould be surrendered before negotiations were commenced, with a view of delaying any general acceptance of her proposal until Field Marshal von Waldersee ghould | arrive at Peking. A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph from Washington asserts that the United States Government has polite- Iy declined to agree to Germany's pro- posal. 5 In any event, with Count von Waldersee journeying northward and Li Hung Chang conducting negotiations from Tientsin, matters must scon reach a crisis. The manner of Earl Li's reception seems to confirm the suspicions in Shanghai re- garding his close relations with Russia. About 4000 Ruselan troops and all the principal Russian officers met him at Chung Liang Chen, half way to Tientsin. A long conference was held, at which a representative of no other power was present. This remarkable friendship ex- ists at a time when two continents are ringing with the story of massacres by The Moscow cor- respondent of the Standard, reverting to this morn- | sued by General Grodekoft, but it is quite | Continued From First Page. “From a recent visitor to the Amur re- | gion I learn that massacres are the order | of the day with the troops that are over- running Manchuria. The orders are is- | certain that Emperor Nicholas must be ignorant of their nature. My Informant | has seen a representative from one of the | Manchuria commands, every one of whom | beseeches that he be allowed to spare | peaceable citizens, but the Russian indif- | ference to the lives of the common herd is still of a truly oriental type.” lrm same correspondent asserts that ‘@ops by the wholesale continue to pour into Manchuria. Li Hung Chang, according to Shanghal dispatcles, assumed the seals of the vice- royalty of Chili yesterday. His officers are busy raising 8000 foreign-drilled men and well-armed men who are now en- camped at a point near and will soon | move to Tientsin. It is reported that Liu Kun Yi, Viceroy of Nankin, alarmed at the prospects of the German fleet ascending the Yangtse | River, is placing obstructions in the chan- nel below the Kung Yien forts and land- ng troops to the northeast of Kiangsu for fear the Germans may land troops there to attack Tsiangkiang-Fu. The S8hanghal correspondent of the Morning Post expresses the opinion that Germany’s policy may yet lead to a rising in Central China. The Standard has a Taku telegram as- serting that as a means of averting pun- ishment the acting governor of Paoting- Fu has posted a proclamation ordering the suppression of the Boxers. The Shanghal correspondent of the ‘troops. Daily News cites the opinfon of a high foreign official that the Emperor and Em- press Dowager will, under the pressure exerted by Chinese viceroys, surrender Prince Tuan and the other anti-foreign leaders to the powers. ik 2 U WILSON TAKES PEITACHU. American Commander Successful in His Expedition. Copyright, 1900, by Assoclated Press. PEKING, Monday, Sept. 17, via Taku, Thursday, Sept. 20.—General James H. Wilson, the American commander, took Peitachu this morning. No detalls of the affair have been learned, but the British officlals have received a dispatch an- nouncing that “the temples were taken according to arrangement.” It is saiq General Wilson will move on Sanhaitien and destroy the Chinese arsenal at that place. The Germans moved westward to- day and it is doubtful if they co-operated in the taking of Peitachu. Japanese scouts report that the sur- rounding country is free of the enemy. No word has been recelved from the Sixtl United States Infantry, which s operating in the northeast. WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.—The following dispatch received at the War Department yesterday from General Chaffee was made public this morning: “TAKU (no date).—Adjutant General, ‘Washington: Peking, Sept. 19.—Rockhill, Wilson expedition returned; object suc- cessfully accomplished. No casualties our Forsythe's squadron scouted northeast forty miles to relieve native Christians; returned bringing in fourteen. Surrounding country dally growing less hostile and more peacefui, so far as my expedition can determine. 2 “CHAFFEE." The date of this cablegram, Peking, Sep- tember 19, shows that close communica- tion has been established with the Chi- Tnese capital. The expedition that General Chaffee re- fers to probably is the one he mentioned in his dispatch of September 16, received yesterday, in which he sald General Wil- son was going to the westward of Peking to clear the country of Boxers and open up the coal flelds. His reference to Rock- hill is not clear. One suggestion is that Rockhill may be the name of the British officer who commanded the English g - tion of the expedition, according to. cabie dispatches published this morning. An- other is a cablegram may have been man- gled, General Chaffee intending to report the arrival at Peking of Special Commis- sioner Rockhill.
