Jail awaiting trial.
A Chefoo dispatch Of August 2
says: Public opinion and the foreign
press at the treaty ports are alarmed
at the possibility that the Chinese may
prevail upon the powers to consent to
the establishment of peace without
inficting punishment befitting the
Chinese governments crime. Officials
persons engaged in commercial pur,
suits and missionaries of all nationali,
ties, are remarkably united. They
believe Pekin should be destroyed as
an object lesson, and that if the dy-
nasty is continued it should be forced
to establish the capital at some acces
sible city, the Americans suggesting
Nankin. This is considered impor-
tant as the Chinese always believed
that China defeated the powers in
1860 because the capital remained in
tact. 1t is also thought that China
should be compelled, publicly and
definitely, to renounce the fiction that
the fol eign ministers are representa-,
tives of tributary powers. There is a
strong demand for unusual punish,
ment, like the destruction of the kings
tombs.
- Secretary of the Navy John D.
Long is at his home near Boston on a
vacation. In an interview on the
Chinese question last Sunday, he said
that everything looked much brighter
Continuing, he said: 81 think when
the allies reach the Chinese capital
they will find Minister Conger and
the other Americans there with him
alive" "Do you think there will be
any war between China and the Other
