Emanucl Angry at-1hc Pope.

Rome, Aug. 2O-In last nights OBJ
servatore appears an authoritative
statement emanating from the vatican
which says that the holy see tolerated
the burial of King Humbert in the
Pantheon only for the reason that of
late the king had seemed disposed to
be reconciled with God The COM
munication also says that the prayer
by Queen Margherita,
and supposed to have received the
|pope's sanction, was in reality distaste-
ful to the ecclesiastical authorities.
These inopportune declarations are un-
favorably received even by the most
liberal class of Catholics and it is
feared that they may provoke deplor-
able retaliations from the anti-papal
party. The king is reported TO be ex-
tremely hurt at the slight administered
to his murdered father and his Wild

O'Clock last night with Fourteenth and

War department officials think the
date Pekin. l5 is an error in transmits
sion. They believe it should be Aug.
16 as all previous reports indicated
that Peliin was captured on the 18th.
That the Americans, while occupying
a conspicuous place in the attack upon
Pekin, lost only eight wounded in the
capture OF the city was highly crafty
ing news. Gen. Chaffee has been Of
ticially congratulated by the president
upon the gallantry and efficiency of his
command in the trying march from
Tien Tsin to the rescue Of the impris-
oned foreigners.
The officials here are inclined to
credit the news that the empress dow
ager is prisoner, notwiths tanling the
previous report TO the effect thar she,
with her court and a large treasure,
! had left Pekin a week before the allies
arrived there and was proceeding to

miles inland from Pekin. II it is true
that the empress dowager is held a
prisoner by Chinese force in the for
bidden city the diplomatic situation
may be vastly simplified. The Chinese
government may then be in position

A search in the store showed that

small amount OF money taken, and
the clothing abstracted from the
bedroom was found minus the con-
tents Of the pockets.
The burglar evidently entered the
room from the verandah on King
