WASHINGTON. Aug. 18. The govern
ment, now fully satisfied by tho advices
that tho International troops hnve entered
Pekln anil that tho lcgntloncrs aro saved.
1h calmly nwnltlng detailed statements
from Itn own olueors. Dispatches woro re
ceived today from General Harry at Cho
Koo and Consul General Goodnow at Shang
hai repeating tho main fact of the capture
and rollef. Neither General Chaffee nor
Admiral Kcmcy was heard from, however,
And It Is to them, particularly to tho
American commander at I'ekln, th.it the
government looks for advices, not only ns
to what has occurred, hut on the local de
velopments from which an Intelligent ter
mination can ho made of what atlll remains
to bo done.
Tho president. Secretary Hoot, Acting
Kccrntary of Stnto Adco. Acting Secretary
of tho Navy Hackett and other olllclals
wcro In conference this afternoon. It was
raid this afternoon that no additional de
tails had como concerning I'ekln and It
was understood that the conference had to
do with tho situation at Shanghai. Word
reached tho Navy department during tho
nftcrnoon that tho United States cruiser
Now Orleans had reached Shanghai, at
'which point British war ships nnd trans
ports are In force, while tho French, Kus
nlans and Germans aro hurrying their men
to tho samo destination.
Aiiirrlcn'n Pulley fit SliniiKluil,
Tho American government so far has kept
out of the entanglement nnd In view of
tho reported landing of troops by some of
tho powers It was stated that tho landing
of American troops had never been con
templated. Although tho olllclals declined
to give out any specific Information, It Is
understood generally that tho government
was In possession of word that tho landing
of tho Ilrltlsh forces hnd occurred today
nnd that If wao prohablo that this would bo
followed by tho landing of German nnd
French forces. As theso several forces
had us tho ostensible purpose of their
landing tho maintenance of peaco and
order. It Is not assumed fo bo likely that
nny disorder enn nrlso from tho course
pursued. As a result of tho conference
hold today It Is believed that a dlspa'tch
wan forwarded to tho commander of tho
New Orleans advising htm of tho course to
Ijo pursued.
Sit Serlnti Itiuittirc likely.
Tho general situation at Shanghai caused
tiy tho proposed landing of British troops
nnd tho protests of Germany and Franco
continues to bo strained, although the
authorities are rather more hopeful of sat
isfactory adjustment than heretofore. Tho
Btnto department does not treat tho matter
ns at all grave and regards It rather as a
misunderstanding, one side holding thai
Ilrltlsh activity Is confined to Shanghai,
while the other Insists that this activity
Is designed to cover tho wholo Yang Tse
region. One of tlu'dlplnniatlc olllclals, who
lias beon most active In tho affair, said that
In any event there could bo no serious
rupture, for oven If troops were landed It
would Increase tho security nnd order pra
lalllng. It seems to bn accepted that If
tho Ilrltlsh troops land. German and French
nnd possibly Russian troops also will land.
About 1,000 French troops have arrived at
Hong Kong, destined for .Shanghai, and
Gorman ships aro now on their way to
the samo point. The German, French nnd
Russian churgo d'affaires called separately
nt tho State department today. Tho situa
tion was discussed, but no Important
changes developed.
Tho general roller rf tho government to
wnrd China her tnfore has boon made known
both to Chaffee anil Conger, and It was
stated nuthorilatlvely tonight that there was
no necessity of sending these olllclals ad
ditional Instructions. Tho fact Is em
phasized by administration officials that tho
policy of tho government Is slated In Secro
tary Hay's note of July 3, and that nothing
can bo added now lo that document, except
un elaboration of tho points stnted therein.

The dispatch from (ienrr.il Vamnguchl.
Riving tho details of the capture of I'ekln,

rnunl so far terelvcd. General Yanuigucln
Is In command of the Fifth army corps, with
tho rank of major general, and Is icgurded
ns one of tho fighting generals of the
Japane army. Ills report discloses for tho
first time that tho Americans shared In the
assault on the city and that they marched
with tho Ilrltlsh troops to tho south gato,
vhllo tho Japanese and Itusslnns operated
against tho oast gato. What was most no
ticeable In the Japanese leport was that
tho JHpanrso killed are given at. 100 and
the Ch'iieso killed at 100. This makes no
account of tho wounded and Indicates that
when tho detailed casualty list Is received It
will bo a heavy one, as tho wounded always
far exceeds the killed. Furthermore, the
jeport states that the "loss of the allies"
had not been ascertained. This Is the first
intimation that there wero losses other
than those sustained by tho Japanese. The
entire tenor of tho report Indicates that
tho engagement was a flerco one, lasting
throughout tho day of August 15, as the nt
tatk began curly in tho morning and the
Mowing up of tho gates did not occur until
nightfall.

an attack to bo made.
Tho eyes of tho world, which have been
fixed hitherto on I'ekln, aro turning to
Shanghai, where an imbroglio resulting
from tho Jealousy and suspicion of the
powers will possibly shortly assume a seri

Franco Is hurrying 1,700 Tonkin troops
thither, whllu 150 bluejackets were landed

port that I'ekln was captured August 15. Offi
cial reports to various countries concerned
In tho relief expedition leave no doubt that
tho capital of Chlnn Is In the hands of the
allies and that all tho foreigners besieged
there havo been rescued. Tho Japnneso
ofllclal dispatches and ono news dispatch
from Shanghai speak of fighting nnd oust!
nato resistance by tho Chinese. Admiral

somo news reports tell nbout troops en

It appears that tho American and Ilrlt

nnd they may not havo been opposed, while
tho Japaueso and Itusslnns approaching

j IIKRLIN. Aug. 18. The night of the
dowuger empress and tho disappearance of
the emperor nro hero regarded hb of greater
and more lasting Importanco than the
mere taking of Pekln and tho compiled-
I lions resulting therefrom aro speculatively
discussed by tho press and In political cir
cles. The overwhelming opinion is thn,t
since nil the powers have agreed to Install
a strong central government at I'ekln It
becomes necessary first to destroy, or at
least to render harmless, the fugitive gov
ernment, which Is responsible for tho
! wholo Chinese eruption. Therefore it Is
claimed It Is necessary to follow and cap
ture tho fugitives. This probably will call
for tho cmplo)mcnt of largo adilltlon.il
forces, besides those which aro now in
China. Surmises as to whether tho United
States, Great Britain and Japan will also
share therein, or leave the burden to Rus
sia, France, nnd, ubove all, to Germany,
fill tho papers today. The German govern
ment adheres to tho view that perfect
harmony provnlls among tho powers re
garding immediate action In China. A
number of the opposition papers express
deep dissatisfaction with the Ignoring of
tho Reichstag nnd tho whole of tho em
peror's China policy, declaring It far ex
ceeds tho limits laid down by Count von
Iltielow, tho minister of foreign nffalrs, in
his circular to the ruling princes of Ger
many on July 11.
At Kmperor William's dinner to Field
Marshal Count von Wnldersee, Inst even
ing nt Wilhelmshohc, tho China situation
In its various bearings wns thoroughly
discussed between his majesty nud Von
Wnldersee, Prlnco Muenster-Dorneburg,
Dr. Lurntnus, the chief of tho emperor's
civil cabinet; Admiral Dledrlchs and
Colonlnl Chief Stovbcl.
Wuriiilj Citnurntiilnles Wnlilerseo.
Tho emperor began his speech by con
gratulating tho officers upon having been
ehoseu as tho staff to co-operato In tho
campaign In China under tho leadership and
direction of "our tried and trusty Hold mar
shal." His majesty continued:
"My dear Von Wnldersee, I congratulate
you that I am today again able to greet
you as tho head of the united troops of the
civilized world. It is of great slgnlflcnnco
that your appointment from tho outset se
cured tho support nnd npproval of tho
emperor of all tho Russlas, tho mighty ruler
who makes his power felt throughout tho
continent of Asia. This again shows how
closely united nro tho old traditions In
arms of tho two empires. I hall with Joy
tho fact that at his majesty's suggestion the
whole of the civilized world without
distinction spontaneously entrusted to
your excellency tho command of its troops.
As Prussian officers wo can bo gratefully
rilled with pride at tho task assigned to
you, Inasmuch as It expresses unanimous
appreciation of our military work and sys
tem nnd tho training nnd leadership of our
genernl officers."
Then, presenting tho baton to tho field
marshal with a few felicitous exhortations
oxprcsslvo of hopo that Count von Waldcr
sco might bo destined to perform tho task
sot him, whether tedious, rapid or san
guinary, or of whatever kind, In a manner
that nil would approve, tho emperor con
cluded: "In tho Interest of our people I wish our
common expedition may turn Into n firm
guaranty of appreciation and mutual peaco
for the Kuropean powers, so what the czar
attempted last year In another Held, nnd
what wo failed to do In peaco, may now
perhaps bo attained with weapons In our
hands."
Count von Wnldersee, replying, said that
ns long ns ho had strength to hull! the
baton nn order for a retreat should never
pass his Hps.
At the dinner which followed, after
toasting Kmperor Francis Joseph of Aus
tria, tho sovrntlefh anniversary of whoso
birth occurred toduy, Kmperor William
proposed tho following toast:
"Health to our noblo nlly and the true
friend of our land, whom wo all honor
from tho bottom of our hearts."
Pill Illume nn Mllinnrlr.
Herr von llrandt. n former minister to
China, In tho missionary organ Chrlsenlcho
Welt puts tho largest amount of blame for
the Chinese outbreak on tho missionaries,
citing a mass of evidence In support of his
nssertlons. He says;
"Two-thirds of tho work of tho legation
and consulates In China had been occa
sioned by l ho complaints, demands nnd
claims of missionaries."
The press today publishes artirles on
tho subject of tho birthday of Kmperor
Francis Joseph of Austria. The Milltnr
Verchenblntt calls attention to tho fact
that tho Austrian nnd Gorman for tho first
time since 1SKI fight together in China. A
majority of the papers prnlso Austria ns
the "steadfast and unimpeachable ally of
Germany."
Tho naval maneuvers this year aro of
special Interest, becnuso part of them, from
September 10 until September 11. will bo
In conjunction with the army. Tho com
ing week will be devoted to tactical ex
ercises nnd nightly torpedo boat attacks
in tho North sea.
From a number of letters published In
the papers It appears that Hie situation In
Samoa is rather unsatisfactory. Tho gov
ernor, because, It Is claimed, ho was doing
Justice to Tanu and his party, was so
verely blamed by the Mataafa party.
Ceaseless dissensions followed, though
hardly any tictuu! hostilities orc.urrod.
Dr. Studt, Prussian minister of worship,

PAIUS, Aug. 18. (Nr Yo-k World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) United
States Senator Chaunccy M. Depow, who
has Just sailed for New York, came near
getting into deep trouble hero In perform
ing an act of kindly gallantry. Most to
blnme for tho distressing occurrenco wns
tho senator's Imperfect French. Having
found a purso on tho floor of a hotel near un
armchair whero ho had seen a pretty girl
seated n short tlmo before, tho senator de
posited tho purso with the hotel clerk. An
hour later, being on the street near tho
hotel, the senator recognized by the light
of n street lamp tho same girl hurrying
homo from her calls. Desirous of saving her
anxiety when she discovered her loss, tho
senator wulked briskly after her, uad when
ho reached her sldo addressed licr 1;. his
politest French.
Tho girl, thoroughly frightened nnd not
understanding, shrieked for holu. Tho kindly
senator tried to pacify her. and ns she per
slBted In her failure to comprehend, nnd
In crying out for assistance, grew vehement
and scared her all the more. Finally the
foolish maiden ran to a policeman, who had
appeared on tho sceno nnd nppealed for
protection. It wns only after a long wrangle
that tho stupid ofllcer of tho law, zealous
to appear In tho light as the rescuer of n
woman In distress, would admit tho possible
truth of Senator Depew'B laborious explana
tion. Tho hotel being near tho policeman
finally consented to accompany Mr. Depcw
nnd the woman there, sticking close to the
woman all the way. Tho purse, which con
tained a lnigo sum of money, was returned
to the fashionable young woman by the
clerk, nnd she, understanding at last, im
piilslvi ly threw her aims around the
senator's neck nnd kissed him on itho check.

PARIS, Aug. IS. Knglatid's decision not
to land troops lu Shanghai, when con
vinced that the other powers would follow
Its example, Is considered hero ns un
masking lu real Intention ns to China as
being one of saltish Interests. Its intended
Independent nction created not n little
criticism, but now that it has been checked
olllcinl circles silently grin nt what Is re
garded us a rebuff.
It la oven stated thnt Its course cast
suspicion upon tho genuineness of Kng
lauu's uttltudo regarding tho "open door"
policy, for had England been left In pos
session of tho port of Shanghai and In
control of tho rich resources of tho Yang
Tso valley It easily could havo been sat
isfied with Its position, whether or not tho
remainder of tho powers secured commer
cial privileges In tho Oriental empire.
Tho Figaro, speaking of this, says:
Kngluud, lu wishing to operate alum- on
tho Yang Tse, seems to desire to return to
the policy of spheres of liitluence, thus
tripping the theory of the "open door,"
which recently she wns defending ardently.
La Pa trie goes even further, announc
ing: Tho powers hnve, nftcr nil, two struggles
to sustain one open, against Hie Chinese;
tho other entirely secret, ngulmit lCngland.
Ono scarcely knows which predominates,
the duplicity of the Chinese or tho duplicity
of Kngland.
This, however, Is not alone tho source of
resentment agnlnst what most Frenchmen
consider their perennial foe Kngland for
official circles credit her, by news dispatches
originating from nn English source, with an
effort to belittle the valor nnd courago of
tho French soldiers and marines in China,
accusing them of cowardice.
"Kngland has not been unmindful of the
cloao nccord Into which the events of the
last two months by associations, social ana
commercial, between tho French and Amer
ican republics, through tho Washington and
Lafayette monuments and the visitors to the
exposition, hnvo brought the two sister re
publics," said a prominout official to a tep
rosoutntlve of tho Associated Press, "and
It Is now using the samo methods pursued
during tho Spunlsh war to turn nsldo this
sentiment and Influence American public
opinion to the belief that Kngland Is tho
beit frlond America has among tho European
powers."
I'nlliMvrr of Demi Issue,
The annual reunion of Imperialists and
royalists, which occurred on Wednesday las?,
should not aroueo great anxiety for the
safety of tho republic, becauso of the char

Tho occupation of Adrnr, tho principal
city of tho Touat oasis of North Africa, by
(ieneral Servlerc, Is considered n success
for French arms of no little Importance.
General Fevro has now completo possession
of threo groups of Saharan oases, and this
has been nccnmpllshed without striking a
blow, and If bo Is nblo to penetrnto tho
Touat oasis with tho feeblo escort at his
command, It would appear that tho French
are mnsters of tho region stretching bo
tween Algeria, Tunis, Tripoli nnd .Morocco.
Doubtless thorp will bo struggles for Indo

ono Is nblo to foreseo thn day when these
nomadlcs will bo forced to follow tho fate
of others.

did not come lu tho steernge, as did the
others. Mnresca came mi a steward In

Thoy could have landed without going
through tho formality of tho barge office.
When Mnresca hoarded tho Kaiser Wll

secreted as a stowaway. Ho was put In

and kept busy until the boat reached
