POOR LITTLE CADETS.

New York, August 14.-Forty cadets at
the West Point Academy have been
sentenced to the most severe punishment

shortening of furloughs details to detest-

ment to barrack limits for long terms
which will prevent participation in

The punishments were inflicted because
the guilty ones had greeted Tactical OFF,

had reported the 1903 class for hazing a

SAME AS AMERICAN MESSAGE.
French and Britons Jangle in Yang
Use Valley-May Distract the
Rebel War.

New York, Aug. IA dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
Sir Robert Hart's message from Pc
king of August 5th, which has just been
published is not the first that has been
received from him in London, though
1t is the first that has been communi-
Gated to the world On Friday he sent
through service telegram to the offices
of the Chinese imperial maritime Gus
toms. This would indicate that in spite
of the disorder in Peking, he is endeav-
orins to carry on the work of his de-
partment. The tenor of Sir Robert
Harts communication is regarded on
the whole as hopeful, for though he
clearly intimates that the situation in
Peking of the foreigners is grave, he
does not suggest that it is desperate.
But between the date of Harts dispatch
and that of the latest received from
Minister Conger, there is an interval of
three days, and matters may have
changed for the worse in that time.
With reference to Sir Robert Hart's
mildly worded phrase that the presence
of foreigners in Pekin is inconvenient
be remembered that Sir Robert is still
in the service of the celestial admins
tratfon and would be reluctant to de-
nOunce his employers, especially if he
thought they might be able to read his
cipher.
Lord Salisbury's reply to the formal
announcement by the Chinese minister
of Ii Hung Chang's appointment as
plenfpotentiary. has not yet been hand
ed to Sir Chih Chen Lo. but it's terms
have been settled. 1t will be much in
the same spirit as the reply of the Unit
ed States government, and will be equal
ly vigorous in tone. The Chinese will
be told that negotiation is out of the
question until guarantees for the safety
of the ministers and other foreigners
have sbeen given.
The Yang Use valley question has
been somewhat complicated by the evil
dent determination of the French not
to attow the British claim to look after
that tfegion to pass unchallenged. Eng
lisl mercantile interests are. of course,
predominant in this part o. China
while French trade is comparatively
smaH,s bit here are French missions and
French aconsuls at various points along
the great river. The anglo Chinese COM
munity are much chagrined at the con-
duct ofefth British consul at Chung
King. who hastily retired with some
proniinent residents of Shanghai. while
the French consul remained at his post.
and is now acting as the representative
of the European community and ne
gotiating with the viceroy. This nat
urally strengthens the French claim for
a voice in the administration Of affairs
in Central Asia as we'll as in Northern
China and Southern China.
