to the Times fnom Victoria, 3. c., says:
Lieutenant Won Krohn, OF the German
army, arrived at Yokohama, In COM
pany with three hundred wounded and
lncapacltated Germans and others, on
the steamer Korn, chartered by the
German government Just before the
Glenogle sailed, told OF his experiences
with Admiral Seymour. In his attempt
to reach Pekin. Il Z l,isl AZ
Asked what the Chinese did with
their women and old men, Lieutenant
Won Krohn said they. emlgrated with all
speed, but II this was not possible. as In
the case Of one village taken by the nl-
lies, they cut of the heads OF the wo-
men and children and threw them into
the river. g5l. "A 81 7. so
I've did not take. prisoners" said
Lieutenant Krohn. .''ns far US the cap
ture OF prisoners Is concerned. This
was an impossibillty as the Chinese are
not civilized for that kind Of warfare"
Lieutenant Won Krohn was asked
about the statement OF German that
the Russians had dispatched the
wounded with the butts or their rifles.
The lieutenant said 1t was not quite so
bad as that. but under the circum-
stances Of the present war in China
they had been and probably would In
the future, be compelled to kill wound
ed prisoners with the bayonet.
In the beginning they had even sent
wounded prisoners to the hospitals in
Tien Tsin. but they soon found out that
as long us man was able to raise q
hand he would try and stab the foreign
crs. Frequently they found boxers who
had taken their red badges and clothes
of in the hope Of trying the "Amiego""
trick and while the trick worked ut
first. the allies soon gave orders to kill
every Chinese who could stand. Lieu
tenant Won Krohn said the Chinese de-
capitate and mutilate every foreigner
who is unfortunate enough TO fall into
their hands, On one occasion, q large
number Of boxers succeeded in encir-
cling an Italian officer with eight men,
and while four OF the men cut their
way through. the other four and the
officer were simply overwhelmed by
numbers and literally hacked to pieces
with the long knives Of the boxers.
When Lieutenant Won Krohn afterward
saw the body of the italian officer his
head was split Into four pieces and his
entire body cut up.

DR.. Morrison's Exposure of China's
Duplicity Will Likely Change the
Plans Of the Powers.
LONDON. Aug. Q, a. m.-Slr Claude
MacDonald's latest letter while
strong indictment OF the Chinese gov
ernment, is not nearly so much SO as
DR.. Morrison's dispatch. That corres-
pondent with the imperial edicts as au.
thority declares that as late as July 2,
the Imperial government urged the box
ers to continue their loyal and patriotic
service in extermnating the Christians.
He explains those marvellous changes
in the Chinese attitude which have so
puzzled the world. It appears that all
the appeals for intervention and all the
protestations OF friendship have been
due entirely to the victories of the allies
at Tlen Tsin. The ministers in Pekln
owed their safety up to July 81, not to
the government protection, but to the
scarcity Of Chinese ammunition and to
the fear to which the Tien Tsin victor
les inspired.
Exposure Not over-estfmated.
When 1t Is remembered how great re-
lance Is placed upon DR.. Morrison In
England, the chance Of his exposure OF
the Chinese government can scarcely
be over-estimated. 1t seems to Danish
nil bopnc on pfnrt , ypnd b,, SoNeh,S,, th,e
the Chinese government might yet be
proved not directly responsible for the
outrage. and it may result In an entire
cessation OF the negotiations with Chi
nese diplomatists, II not In an open. de-
claratlon Of war on the part OF the
powers.
General Sir Alfred Gaselee is quoted
as saying on July IS. that he was ready
to advance although lacking In artil-
lery. Colonel Daggatt. commanding the
Americans at Tien Tsn is also credited
with n similar statement on the same
date, although utterly without trans
portation. not even having u horse for
himself.
Entrenchments at Yang Tsun.
Reinforccments arc reported to have
been sent to the Chinese at Yang Tsun,
where strong entertainments have been
thrown up to bar tho advance of the
allies. The Berlin correspondent OF the

IDENTIFY intended to pave the way for n

ut is now beyond doubt that the fire.
quent assertions of the different Chi
nese reports that for a month past the

sible for whatever happens In Pelin."

POWERFUL EFFORTS

Troops to Pekin-Conditions I'm
posed Unreasonable.
! WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 1.-The
Chinese imperial government is putting
forth the most powerful efforts to. Sc
cure through negotiation, the abandon
ment OF the international movement
upon Pekin. The cablegrams decided
Mt the state department to-day from
Earl Ii Hung Chang all tend to DEM
onstrate this desire to secure the sue
cor of the ministers at Pekin and their
delivery Mt Tien Tsin II this cun be
safely effected, trusting that In return
the international column can be halted.
Unquestionably, proper assurance OF
the safe delivery Of the ministers would
have some effect upon the effect upon
the temper Of tho powers and 1t is pos
sible that the United States govern
ment would give eur to overtures In
that direction were not the attempt
made by the Chinese to impose condi-
tIons upon the delivery that are alto
gether Objectionable. Such, for instance.
Is u stipulation that the Chinese i'm
perial authorities shall be nbsolved in
advance from the consequences Of the
attempt and for liability for what has
taken place In Pekin. The first stipu-
laton might be regarded ns direct In
vitation to the boxers" to murder the
ministers on their way to the coast and,
therefore our government will leave Il
to Mr.. Conger himself whether or not
he regards 1t rs snfe to leave Pekln,
when the opportunity is held out.
No Change rs to Military Programme
Meanwhile, there has been no change
as TO the military programme, so far
rs our government Is advised. The Sc
nior United States naval officer at Taku
already is under the most positive in
structions to urge forward move
ment. there having been sent by Secre-
tary Long Just after the receipt OF the
original Conger message md he wns
advised also of the intention of the
government to add to his force. These
matters are referred TO In the belated
dispatch from T!en Tsin, which touches
upon the military situation and the
prospects Of n speedy forward move-
ment. But no additional Instructions
on this point were sent to the United
States army officers to-day and the
government Is allowing Its officers on
the spot to shape their own campaign.
relying particularly upon the very full
and comprehensive Instructions pre-
viously given to General Chaffcc both
in person and by cable upon his arrival
at Nngasnki.
Nothing to Delay tho Advance.
Secretary Root said to-day that there
had been no developments In the dlplo-
matte situation. which would delay the
advance on Pekin. ana that General
Chaffee had orders to cover any con-
tingency which might arise. a state
mcnt has beon made In the dispatch
from Europe to the effect that the
United States Is pushing General Chnf-
fee for chief commander. 1t was said
at the war department to-day that such
was not the case. though II was recog-
nlzcd that the situation might be such
as to make It necessary for him to uc-
