cials in Pekn. Some Of these officials owe
al; they have and are to the friendship of
Sir Robert, and it is within the limits Of
possibility that they may have been able TO
secrete at least some of the women of the
foreign party where they can weather the
storm till relief reaches Pekin. This is
only possibility, but coming from one so
familiar with the Chinese situation 1t con-
tains at least. another ray of hope for
those who have friends in Pekin.

ceived the following cable message from the

ceived at Tien Tsin July L. The letter

Danger of massacre is imminent Prompt

MUST WAIT FOR FACTS.
Secretary Wilson's Views Regarding
the Crisis I'm China

CHICAGO, july 1S-"Facts we must get
facts. We cannot proceed except on facts
No national policy can be framed until the
facts are ascertained. We have two Yer
sions, both alike, from Chinese sources
both on the face equally worthy of ere
dence. One version is that the legations
Were massacred. Last night We are told
they survive. One may take his choice
which to credit"
Thus james Wilson. Secretary Of Agri-
culture, summed up Americas necessity in
the present stage of the Chinese crisis lie
had been to Iowa to attend Senator Gears
funeral. and last night he stopped 1t the
Auditorium
Whether the legation has been mur-
dered or not. he went on to say. lit is
most probable that our missionaries ard
merchants have been killed. And one fact
is absolutely certain, that America hence
forward will protect her citizens in every
land on the face of the earth.
The best condition for US is perfect peace
In China. We desire no territory on.y
peace and permission to trade. l don't even
think We shall want to salve our injuries
by a great indemnity. We ought to de-
mand. of course, that each family which
has suffered should be compensated in
money by China, far as money can do
it But that is private reparation.''

ESCAPED FROM BOXERS.
Party of Five Passed Four Days of
Thrilling Adventures.

\ dispatch to the New York Tribune from

ceived from the scene of the Chinese trou-
bleS by the steamer Empress of India in
cIude Il story OF heroism and thrilling ad
venture. y young employr of a commercial
house. named Waite, is the central figure
of the story. At the request of his employ

Tien TSin June ~, and, after four days of
narrow escapes and flight from the pursu-
ing Boxers, he and the Russians reached
Taku juno %, with letters.
The courier said on his arrival that the
city of Tien Tsin was in perilous position
and his letters Were to request reinforce
ments. The Chinese, he said We're bonn
harding il with four-inch guns. The relief
as has been told, was sent, and the city re-
Heved. Waite is reported to have worn the
uniform Of a dead Boxer, and the CusSacks
Were also arrayed in the red coats and hats
of the Chinese troops. They managed to
eyade the force surrounding the city, but
small force who stopped them later at once
penetrated the disguise.
At a signal from W altc they all bOlted
and before the Chinese had graSped the
fact that they had escaped they had man
aged to ride down to the river, some dis
tauce away. and made their way down the
stream. They We're not then pursued Two
days after they left Tien Tsin they lay IN
the bottom of a boat all night. unable to
move, owing to the fact that Boxers were
cncamped on the river bank a short dis
tance away. They ultimately released the
boat and allowed it to drift down stream
which secured their escape, the Boxers not
watching the drifting boat. which they be-
lieved had broken loose Then they did all

THE INTERNATIONAL ARMY.
How 1t Will Re Composed on the
Basis of 10000,

The various foreign representatives here
and the authorities of the United States
government have been made aware of a
naval commanders In Chinese waters, and
of their determination, after mature con-
sideration of the entire situation, that SO,'0J
troops from all nations were required to
cope with the present emergency. The ad-
mrals did not go beyond this determina-
tion of the total and fix the number which
each nation should furnish, that being left
to the several governments.
But in a general way this estimate of
$4,000 by the board of officers on the spot
has served as guide in fixing the number
of men which each nation will furnish.
Up to the present time 1t is said that no
hard and fast agreement exists as to the
number of men each viii forward, but 1t
is tacitly accepted that these respective
forces will be approximately: Japan, 22,0oO;
Russia, $1,000; United States, 1000:
France. 5000; Great Britain. 10000: Ger
many, 12,O00-in all, about $4,000, or about
the aggregate which the meeting of ad-
mirals determined upon. AS stated. how
ever, there is no formal agreement up to
the present time that these quotas or any
other exact numbers shall be adhered to,
and each government is free to act accord-
ing to its view of the requirements, al
though the prepa rations now under way
indicate that the foregoing will be the ap-
proxtmate portions of allied army ag-
gregatipg about 10000.

partment sayiEg that the Boxers and Chi
nese soldiers We're gathering in force near
the northern border of Corea, and that the
people of the northern province were fearful
OF an extension of the Boxer revolt into that
country, that he did not anticipate hap
penng of that sort.
The words Boxers and Chinese soldiers"
he thought had been used in a very broad
sense. 1t has all along been difficult to
discriminate between the Imperial troops
and the Boxers themselves. There would
be nothing alarming in the fact of the i'm
peria! troops being in close proximity to
the borders of Corea, but of course in
view of the tension in China the uncer-
tainty as to whether the approaching
troops were Boxers the imperial troops
themselves may have given rise to the
fears entertained by the people in the
north
Mr.. Tam Ie said that he had heard moth
ing from his government touching the mat
ter. As far as he knew there was no Boxer
clement in Corea and he was not inclined
to place much credence in the report of a
