AGREES TO MEDIATE.
President Mckinley Gives Con-
ditional Promise to China.
Hay ANSWERS WU's REQUEST.

Scrtain CcnultlOnS Must lie Met Before
the President Will Undertake to Act as
Mediator With Powers Foreigners
Must Be Given Protection.
WASHINGTON, July 24.-The presi-
dent has listened to the appeal of the
Chinese government as transmitted
through Minister WI and has signitied
his willingness to mediate between the
imperial government and the powers,
but only upon conditions which first
must be met by the Chinese govern
ment. The answer is entirely consistent
with the statement of principles laid
down by Secretary Hay in his identical
note to the powers and, moreover, it
accepts as truthful the Chinese state
ments relative to the safety of the for
eign ministers at Peking.
1t would not, of course, be possible to
take even the initial steps toward medi-
alton We're either party to the negotia-
tions to entertain openly distrust of the
accuracy of the statement of the en-
peror. There must be confidence be-
tween them. The United States
answer does not go to the length of the
French answer to a similar appeal in
laying down conditions which the Chi
nese government could not meet even if
SO disposed, if it actually is struggling
for its own existence. 1t does, however,
look to the immediate relief of the for
eign missionaries in Peking, and more
over, to the protection of all foreigners,
missionaries and traders in China and
to the restoration of order. With that
much accomplished the state depart.
ment feels that it can properly approach
the powers with the Chinese PROPOSE
tions for settlement for what has oc.

Of the Highlanders. The story of the
federal commanders bold raid comes in
the form of telegram from General
Fores Walker, dated at Cape Town,
Sunday, July %, forwarding dispatch
from General Knox, as follows:
'Have followed commando since July
16. Hard, sharp fighting at Palmiet-
fontein, July 10. Prevented from pur-
suing laager by darkness. Eight hun
dred Beers found. Our casualties five

station. Send supplies for 5000 men
and horses; also any news of the ene-
my's movements. I believe the COM
mando consists of 1900 men and four
guns and is accompanied by President
Steyn and both the Dewets."
General Knox continued: 1.-The wire
and main line of the railway north of
Honingspruit have been cut and also
the telegraph to Pretoria via Potchef-
stroom. According to my information
Dewet has crossed the railway and is
going north"
General Kelly-Kenny telegraphs from
Bloemfontein under date OF July %:
sThe railway has been cut north Of
Honingspruit and a supply train and
100 Highlanders captured by the enemy.
A large force of the enemy is moving
on Honingspruit. All communication
with Pretoria is cut off. The Second
and Third cavalry brigades are follow
ing the enemy"
The London morning papers feel
compelled to recognize General Dewet' S
clever strategy in battling all efforts to
catch him while constantly harassing
the British lines of communication.
Only the scantiest details have been
allowed to come through. Apparently
when nightfall stopped the engage
ment with Colonel Broadwood, General
Dewet's forces divided into small par
ties, one of which cut the railway and
captured the Highlanders, the Beers
afterward reuniting at Rhenoster river.
The latest advices from Pretoria an.
nounce that General Stevenson's brig
ade has occupied Elandsriver. sand
that Gen eral Hamilton has occupied
Doornkraal
Letters reaching London from the
British troops in Orange River colony
assert that both men and horses are
on short supplies and out of condition
for hard work. If this be true there is
little cause for wonder at the fail ure tc
capture Dewet and at the apparent par
alysis of the operations.
