WASHINGTON. Aug. 27.Aflor several
doys of Intermission In Chinese advices
the government tndnv received two il Is
patches, which prpsumnhly lirinK Us advices
up to tho moBl rcriuit date. There lire In
dications thru tho principal delays In the
linos of rommiinlciitlnn nre encountered
between Tlcn THln nnd I'ekln, 11 fact cx
plnined by the newspaper ud vires that

tho line of communication of tho I'ekln
campaign force J tint sue!) Interference
with the work of tho signal corps men
was experienced by tho L'nlled States
forces In the Philippines and hy Lord
Roberts' troops In t lie Transvaal cam
paign. Usually theso Interruptions ure
very Bhort. the marauders holng driven oft
nnd tho lines restored within a day or
two. The fact that more than n week waB
covered by the last Interruption gives rise
to the belief hero that theso attacks upon
the lines of communication by the Chinese
are more formidable, than was supposed
to be possible after the heavy losses In
flicted upon them by tho International
forces In their advance.
I niliiteil nlnpntch from Conner.
Tho Important dispatch of tho day was
ono from Minister Conger, relative to tho
military situation In I'ekln. as follows:
Prom Taku. August 27: "Secretary of Stote,
Wnnlilngton: No Important movements since
last dispatch. Military Is trying to restore.
No representative of tho Chinese govern
ment encountered yet. Several ministers of
tho tsung II yamen reported In the city and
nro expected to appear toon. Generals de
cide not to enter Imperial palace, leaving It
practically vacant. Two thomaud Hermans
arrived todny. CONGER."
1'nfortunntely the dispatch lacked a date,
tho minister presumably not having yet re
ceived tho department's Instructions to In
cludo tho date In tho body of his dis
patches. The Stat department at first
undertook to havo the cable companies
correct. .this .ttorlous omission, but Anally
-concluding from internal evidence that
Mr. Conger's message was certainly later
than any olllclal emanation from tho Chi
nese capital, tho message was allowed
publicity for what It was worth. Mr. Con
gur'a reference to the arrival of 2.000 fresh
(lermon troops caused some surprise, no
ono apparently having closely watched the
movements of tho Herman contingent,
which Is now arriving with fairly regular
frequency In China, and which conse
quently may be expected soon to equal In
nunierlcnl strength the military contin
gents of any of tho European nations
there represented
Triiiik I.I Viiiiil'u Mny Plnj- Piirt.
A significant statement In Minister Con
ger's dispatch is that rokpectlng the ex
acted appearanco In I'ekln of tome of the
members of the tsung II yamen. A natural
construction to be given to this statement
Is that theso ministers wish to .undertake
to represent tho Chinese government form
ally In negotiations with tho powers. It
having been found Impossible up to this mo
ment, according to Mr. Conger's statement,
to meet any representatives of the Chinese
government In I'ekln who were competent
tn open negotiations. It may be Inferred
that If these ministers actually appear with
propor credentials one of tho problems con
nected with the present difficult situation
In China will be solved. With. Borne re
sponsible person or persons to deal- with It
mny bo posslblo for tho United Stntes to
como to somo agreement as to settlement
of tho Chinese trouble. Ever since the fall
of I'ekln the principal difficulty confronting
the government hero has been tn nrrango
for tho next movement In Its progrnm. It
could not withdraw its troops, even If bo
disposed, without arranging for the Indemni
fication for tho heavy cost It has been put
to by tho I'ekln government. It also must
mako arrangements with tome responsible
authority for tho future piotectlon of Amer
ican Interests In China, as our business In
terests cannot be withdrawn along with tho
army of occupation. Therefore, ns convey
ing a faint hope that in tho persons of these
members of tho tsung 11 ynmcn, there may
be found some authorized representative of
the Chinese government competent to make
engagements on these points, tho messago
of Mr. Conger was very welcome to th au
thorities here.
Pillnoe Ant to He l'lltercd.
Another statement In Mr. Conger's dis
patch roiatlve to the decision of tho gen
erals not to enter the imperinl palace, ap
pears to explain the movement of the Amer
ican troops, which the press dispatches were
unablo to clear up. In relaxing tho attack
upon the palace gates after capturing all
but one of them.
Another event of the day of tome Interest
was tho order dispatching the Castlne from
Shanghai to Amoy, distant about 100 miles
Tho little gunboat should mnko tho run In
r-ut two days under favorable conditions
4ts force Is small, but sunk-lent to serve the
moral purpose, if thoro be need for such.
It appears that It Is ordered to Amoy quite
as much on nccount of representations from
well-informed business circles as from an)
oftlcla! advice. Tho consul at Amoy agree
ing with tho representations of the business
Interests, It was decided to be proper to
fend a gunboat, to Amoy. not because of any
particular apprehension as to Japan'B as
pirations, but to prevent rioting at this dan
gerous point.

Tho first direct word from General Chaffee

cablegram dated today at Taku, reporting
tho action of the Sixth cavalry wlththe

I'MIIS. Aug. 27-nrtlrlnl dlspntihes from
Shanghai explain that the Han Kow upris
ing was nrt due to the Hoxers. but was n
dot organized by the partisans of Hang
Yu Wei. the reformer, combined with the
secret society known as the Ko Lao I Int.
an ami-foreign organization, who pro
posed to the southern viceroys a revolt
against the I'ekln government. Tho leaders
of the movement rely especially upon
Chang Chi Tuni:, viceroy at Han Kow, for
arms, gunpowder and other agents of dc
struct'on. A proclamation, written In-English nnd
addressed to Europeans, was seized. In It
tho revolutionists declared themselves op
posed to the Manchu dynasty, but ready
to uphold the present emperor. They ex
pressed themselves ns desirous of found
ing a "constitutional government," nf pro
tecting foreigners and Christians nnd of
supporting the powers ngilnst autl-for-olgn
fanatics.
The Immcdlnte effect of the movement
has been to Increase tho peril of Euro
penns. Proof exists of disorder and pil
lage, duo to the same movement nt widely
separated points. The headquarters of
tho conspiracy Is Han Kow, from which
point It ramifies Into other provinces.
Several thousands of the supporters of
the movement have received Instructions
to demonstrate In the central valley of
the Vang Tse Klnng, but tho viceroy has
n sufllrlent force of regular troops to guar
antee the maintenance of order. Twelve
of tho conspirators havo been beheaded.

The thirty-fourth annual onenmpnient of
tho Grand Army of the Republic, which was

will be 50,000 additional arrivals by tomor

all parts of tho republic and every Btato

The first day of the encampment was one
of Ideal beauty in marked contrast to the

Tho heroes of river nnd sea of tho civil
war aro n small band now. Of tho 132,000

their number wns greater In tho march today
than it will ever bo in any parade to come.

LONDON, Aug. 2S. 3:30 n. m. Tho al
lies, resuming aggressive operations, huvo
taken tho district west of Pokln. This
statement, based on Chinese authority, Is
cabled from Shanghai. From tho samo
place emtio- the further statement that
Ll Hung Chans has wired tho empress
dowuger at Ilslan-Fu requesting thu at
test nf Prince Tumi and tho disarming of
tho Boxers In ordi r to give Ulm an opening
lor negotiations with tho powers.
The Illuminations projected at Shanghai
In celebration of tho relief of I'ekln huvo
been abandoned, lest they should causo a
native outbreak.
"Evidence has been received hero," says
the Shanghai correspondent of tho Stand
ard, "going to show that Otncral Yung
Hi was tho rcul author of the anti-fnrclgn
outbreak, the umpreas dowager, Prlnco
Tuan and the others nil having bepn por
bunded by him to take nn extreme attitude,
while lie stood aside and nwntted develop

according tn the Hong Kong correspondent
of tho Dally Mali, aro anxious to return
to the interior, but tho United Stntes con
sul hns forbidden them to do so nnd urge
them to go to tho Philippines or to return
lo America.
Shanghai advices to the Dally News say
that consular opinion there looks upon
Japnncso action In-the landing of troops at
Amoy, despite the pintests of the consuls,
as similar to that of llussla nt New Chwang,
tho whole Indicating a tendency to n parti
tion of tho umpire."
"Itiissliin Journals agiee," says the Mos
cow correspondent nl Ihe Standard, "that It
Is Impossible to deal with China In thn
spirit of revenge, as suggested hy Emperor
William. They hcllovo that methods less
driiBtle ran better accomplish tho ends of

bp satisfactorily settlPd to Russian ralnds
by tho sclzuro of northern provinces."
A St. Petersburg special quotes Emporor

been named after him, as follows: "Express
