FIGHTING WITHIN PEKING.
WASHINGTON, August 22-.The War
announced early In the day |
that 1t was in receipt of a casualty list
from Gen. Chaffee and this was made pub !
lie about noon. 1t was learned, however, |
that the Chaffee dispatch contained n
amount of matter beside the
list of killed and wounded, and it was the |
subject of an extended White House con- 4
ference between the President, Secretary
Rect and Acting Secretary of State Adce. I,
1t was hoped by the officials that the &C. |
ccipt of detailed news from Gen. Chaftce |
would simplify the situation considerably |
and enable this Government TO map out, ,
in large degree, its future line of a"- ,
ten in China. This was not the case, !
however. Gen. Chaffee's telegram indicat- |
ed that there may yet be considerable |
leavy fighting around Picking and be- |
tween that city and the coast. 1t was i'm i
possible to make any prediction as to the !
date of the paclflcation on the informa- |
ton thus furnished and the Adm:nstra- |
ton is not able to fix approximate date
for the withdrawal of our troops from
Chinese territory.
While the White House conference was
In progress the Chinese Minister arrived |
II the State Department. Mr.. Adee was
absent and the Minister waited patiently 1
Tor two hours. the expectation being that
he reply OF the United States Govern
ment to Ii Hung Chang's peace appiica- I
lion would be handed TO him. At II
o'clock Minister WI had heard nothing |
as to the return of the Acting Secretary /
of State and he returned to the Chinese
Legation expecting to call tomorrow un-
ess advised before then that his presence
was desired.
