AMERICANS SAFE IN PEKING.
Minister Dcnby Has Made No Recent APP
peal for Protection.


peal for Protection.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-It is stated posi-
lively at the department of state that there
is no fresh reason for apprehension touch.
ing the safety of American residents OF
Peking, and that United States Minister
DENLY has not made any appeal to tho
department for protection since his origi-
nal dispatch sent some time ago, in which
he stated that should the Japanese troops
attack Pcking the safety of tho foreign
residents might bo threatened, and 1t would
be well to send O force of United States
marines to protect the legation.
As Is customary In such cases this dis
patch was promptly communicated to the
navy department, and fifty marines were
ordered to be transferred from the other
vessels of tho American fleet to the Mo-
nocacy at Tientsin near Peking. In ad
| dition Admiral Carpenter was instructed
| to put himself in communication with
| Minister DENLY and to use his discretion
| in doing everything necessary to insure
| the safety of American residents All Of
this took place some time ago and since
then Mr.. DENLY has made no further ap-
plication for protection. He Is at liberty
at any time to transfer his legation to
| Tientsin, where 1t would be almost under
tho guns of the Monocacy, and In fact he
was authorized to do this ut u very early
stage of the war, when the Chinese showed
symptoms of disaffcction at the first re-
verses sustained by their armies.
The legation would certainly bo much
safer at Tientsin than at Peking, as 1t is
impossible for even the light draft Monoc
acy to navigate the river up to the lattel
city at this season of the year. But the
| Co. hat t,p al
of communication are open, has not re
Gently asked for aid from the department
is regarded as evidence that he feels no ap
prehension at present, and this view Il
supported by the cable advices from CHI
Foo to the effect that encouraged by th'
prospect of restoration of peace, many o
the foreign residents of Peklng, who hat
taken refuge at Tienstin, were returning
| to Iha former city.

Dun counter proposition for transmits
sion to United States Minister DENLY.
Owing to tho iinpcnetrable secrecy sur
rounding the negotiations it is impossible
at this stage to discover the exact nnture
of this counter proposition, but it is sup
posed to differ from Minister Denby's
original proposition mainly in respect to
the amount of the indemnity demanded
by Japan and in the adoption of certain
rather onerous guarantees for the faithful
execution of China's pledges. 1t is ru-
| morcd that one of these guarantees is the
continuation of Japanese occupation OF
Port Arthur until the treaty conditions
are fulfilled, but 1t is apprehcnded that
such demand may involve Great Britain,
to which nation such occupation would be
| obnoxious.
