Washington Aug 123 After n long
fconfereneo ut the white house yester
day the reply of the United States to
the application of II Hung Chang for
the appointment of pence commis
sioners was completed and a copy of
the reply sent to the Chinese minister
Mr Wu to lie forwarded to Earl II
The reply snys In brief that thin gov
ernment cannot enter upon negotia
tions until theie Is a government In
China which can prevent the hostil
ities of Chinese troops and Chinese
citizens against the forces of the pow
ers
The most Important development of
the day as to the actual conditions In
Peking came late In the afternoon
when the state department made pub
lic a dispatch from Minister Conger
dated at Peking only three days ago
as follows
Conger Report on Conilitlon In lcklni
Peking Aug 23 Secretary of
State Washington The entire city
with the exception of the Imperial pal
uce Is occupied by Japanese Russian
British American and French It Is
being apportioned Into dlbtrlcts for po
lice supervision The Chinese army
lied The Imperial family and the
court have gone westward probably
to Sian Fu in the province of Sben Si
No representatives of the Chlnesu gov
ernment are In sight in Peking and the
conditions are chaotic The palace is
expected to be taken immediately
Many missionaries have staited for
home while others remain in charge
of the Christian lefugces numbering
about 1000
Mr Congers statement that the
conditions are chaotic was taken as
another strong justification for the
linn leply given to China yesterday
He emphasizes the facts that the Chi
nese army has lied tin imperial fam
ily and couit have gone and no repre
sentative of the Chinese government
is to be such In Peking Minister Con
ger makes o mention of his desire to
coue home d It is sfted officially
that this government has made no siig
gestlou that he return to this country
The militiiiy situation was of quite
as much Inteiest in yesterdays cfevel
opments as wan the diplomatic Ad
miral Kcmey reported eaily in the
morning bringing the stoiy of the Pe
king operations up to the Kith in Pe
king and confirming the press report5
already printed of the death of gal
lant Captain Iteilly In the linal assault
on the outer walls of Peking
Almost as important as the Peking
news in this dispatch was the state
ment that the Boxers are again concen
trating around Tien Tsln and last
Sunday moruing the Sixth cavalry
with about 400 English and Japanese
troops had a lively brush with the
Boxers eight miles outside of Tien Tsln
where about 100 of the Chinese were
killed and five Americans wounded
It was evident from Admiral Heuiqys
account of this affair that while the
Chinefio are in force enough around
Tien Tsln to make considerable show
they are evidently not in the liuinoi
to hotly contest an engagement The
casualty list in this fight seems to in
dicate a sudden and total rout The
text of Admiral Uemeys dispatch is
as follows
Attuck tliu Forbidden City
Che Foo Aug 21 Tuku 20
Dlckens command Is landing today
At Peking Aug 10 all except imperial
city had been cleared of Chinese
troops American troops first to en
ter imperial city have penetrated to
the gates of the palace Captain
Reilly Fifth artillery killed on lfitli
Morning 19th Sixth cavalry and about
400 English and Japanese dispersed
about 1000 Hoxers eight miles out

The most Important dispatch of the
day was not made public by the war
department but was the subject of an
extended conference at the white
house between the president Secretary
Root and Acting Secretary of State
Adee It was from General Chaffee
and denlt entirely with military oper
ations and conditions While it can
not be said to have contained any bud
news and recorded the brilliant sue
cesses of the American troops who
hove borne themselves so gallantly In
the assault on Peking It contained
enough as to the unsettled conditions
In China and prospect of long aud ar
duous work In restoring peuce to
form the subject for a consultation of
tome hours between the president and
bis advisers
It wus hoped In official circles that
When Generul Chaffee should be heard
from he would report that the work
of the American expeditionary forces
had been accompllbbcd by the rescue
of the ministers and that the blow
truck at the Boxer Insurgents by the
foreign column had dissipated those
rCYQlutltakta aud lelt China with
Norfolk Weekly News
hands free to make her peace with the
civilized world Instead of this how
ever General Chaffee had to report
nn utterly chaotic condition or nffalis
and the capture of n capital whence all
the heads of government had tied
There was nothing for the vlctots to
do but to prornt anarchy by admin
Isteilug on this deiellct empire which
had fallen Into their hands There
fore the prospect opened up by Gen
eral Chaffees icport Is that the Amer
ican contingent of necessity will bo
detained In China for some time to
come probably for the whole winter
This will necessitate the hunted com
pletion of picpuratloiiH that already
have Iveen begun to comfoitahly sub
sist our army through the severe win
ter weather which will soon close In
