All Trace Of the Chinese Statesman Il
Lost

LOST
Washington, Aug. 2s-The state de-
partment has heard nothing of any in
tention to interfere with the movements
of Ii Hung Chang. The report from the
French admiral at Taku to the contrary
is believed to refer TO an incident Of the
past and not to the situation as It
contemplated a visit to Pelkin by way OF
Taku and the Pei FTo, the foreign ad-
mirals at Talxu at that time the ranking
representatives of their governments.
held a consultation of war to determine
the question as to the amount of freedom
to be allowed Ii in communicating with
the authorities at Pelxin. 1t was then
announced that the admirals had decid-
ed in view of the fact that hostilities
were actually in progress that sound
military practice required that Lii Hung
Chang sohuid be kept under a strict sur
Vigilance.
BY imputation this carried the idea
that Ii might be kept, not on board a
foreign warship, but aboard his own
transport in the harbor at Talku at the
pleasure of the foreign admirals. Meth
er Admiral Remey or Admiral Kempff
gave their sanction to this project and
It is said here that when Ii abandoned
the Pekin trip by water, the project
1t is singular fact that Ii Hung
Chang's whereabouts are not known
here. AT last account he was at Shang
hal not In the foreign quarter but away
back in the Chinese arsenal. Even with
the aid of foreign naval force now at
Shanghai, It would be difficult to pre-
vent his escape on land If Earl Ii should
determine to retire from Shanghai. Moth
ing has been heard from him by our gov
eminent since the 18th inst. It is said
at the navy department that Admiral
Remey, who is watching matters closely
at Taku has not communicated with the
department today and it is believed that
an event of the Importance of the de-
cision said to have been reached by the
admirals would promptly have been re-
ported to the department by him.
The Chinese embassy is also ignorant
of the whereabouts of Earl Ii.

in the project of erecting suitable monu-
ment over the remains of War Correspond

Gahan. 1t was the letters of this American
war correspondent, 1.-The Turkish Atrocities

Europe, and brought on the RusSo-Turkish
war, which ended in the liberation of Bull

Mr. Vatralsky is Bulgarian and grad
uate of Harvard. Before returning to his
native Balkans he recently made pilgrim
age to the grave of Mr.. MacGahan and
found to his surprise that the grave was
still unmarked. He has devoted his time
since then to the monument project and
has interested many well-known men in
Ohio and elsewhere. On his return home
he intends to start similar movement in
Bulgaria, his idea being to unite Ohio and
Bulgaria in erecting becoming monument
