. FIRES, FIGHTING AND D1SSENT1ONS
Russian General Continues Hostilities-
Incendiary Fires Rage.

London, August 24.-Fires, fighting
and dissension are apparently fol-
lowing in the wake of the relief of
Peking. The Daily Mail publishes dis
patches from the Chinese capital dat
cd as late as August II, declaring that
4 great fire was then raging in the
imperial city. The Russian COM
mander had declined to accept the
decision of the other generals not to
violate the imperial precincts and
treet fighting was going on. -
General Chaffee-so it is asserted
maintained that the Chinese had been
ately punished already and that
j.. would be unwise to take the i'm
Ierial palace. This explains the with
drawal of the Americans after breach
ing three gates, as cabled by the
special correspondent of the Associ-
ated Press. The Russian general,
however, maintained that his govern
ment had declared war against China
and that, therefore, there was no rea-
son to prevent him carrying hostili-
ties into the sacred precincts.
Judging from various, in many
cases contradictory, dispatches that
have reached Europe this morning
from Picking, the commanders even
tually adopted middle course, for a
Reuter- telegram asserts that sentries
were placed to prevent looting. Hence
it. is presumed that the imperial build
il gs, although captured, will not be
Destroyed.
The fires appear to be incendiary
and t. be caused by the Chinese
themselves.

A FIERCE STRUGGLE.
London Advices as to the Fighting In
Chinese Capital. . 49,

: London, August 22.-Although sat-
isfactory details are lacking, there is
evidently fierce fighting in Picking.
An official Italian report says that
the struggle in the streets of the Chi
nese. capital was still in progress on
Saturday, four days after the lega-
lions were relieved. Furthermore ur-
gent requests have been sent to Taku
for reinforcements, and troops are
now hurrying up by forced marches.
The Chinese troops are said to be
still surrounded in the palace grounds
but any indication of an issue of the
struggle is lacking. The strength of
the allied forces at the start was
$4,000 but of these, through wounds,
sickness and heat, probably 500 at the
least, have been incapacitated. On the
other hand, it is not unlikely that
they have the services of 200 or so of
the enfeebled Europeans who stood
the siege, but who have been rescued.
Some London war experts express
the opinion that the question of sup
plies and ammunition is certain to be
serious one; that the force took
large quantities is certain, but it may
be impossible to satisfactorily keep
open the line of communications with
the base at Taku, and protracted hos
tilities in and about the capital may
wear out the allies and exhaust their
supplies at critical juncture. Street
fighting in Picking is likely to be a
terribly difficult and costly undertake
ing, and the fact that the situation
is far from satisfactory is proved by
the haste with which reinforcements
are being hurried up from the sea.
The number of Chinese soldiers still
in the capital is unknown, but it is
estimated that they outnumber the
allies two to one.

practically, takes things out of Minis

The message said: =.

There is no intention of depreciat-I

has the liveliest sense of gratitude
for him; but it is not deemed ex-
pedient to act on his dispatches be-
cause, after his terrible experienced
he is naturally elnbittered, possibly
unconsciously biased, because he

posed to have Conger come home att

New York, Aug. 24.-The Herald's
Washington special says: There is
now every prospect that the United
States forces in China will be detain-
ed there some time, probably through
the winter, and it is learned that
this is apparent from dispatch
with which Major General Chaffee ac-
ccmpanied his list of casualties, which
Secretary Root refused to make
public.
Chaffees description of the military
situation, caused by a dispatch sent
Tuesday asking him to report on
the subject, instead of showing a
less serious state of affairs than Con-
ger had intimated as the authorities
had hoped he might do, made it
clear that it is impossible to pre-
dict what date the restoration of
order in China will make possible
the withdrawal of American and other
foreign troops from that country.
While Picking is in possession of
the allied forces the Chinese troops
are making demonstrations against
Tien Tsin.

Paris, August 2o.--It being now fell
here that the legations are certainty
saved, attention is already turning
to other phases of the Chinese prob
lem, which are thought sure to give
rise to international jealousies OF
most dangerous kind. Englands IN
tention to land troops at Shanghai
awakens considerable bitterness III
France. England has all along pre-
tended to be acting in the interests or
Europe, and the London Times reit-
crates this pretention in leading
article. But the French papers de-
clare that the English motives are
purely selfish.
The Debats, for example, said last
night: ct is very significant and
almost grave fact that England has
offered to lend the viceroy OF the
province of Wuchang e75,000 for the
payment of his provincial troops"
1t is said the viceroy in question,
Chang Chin Chung, has agreed that
the English troops may land, it no
other nation attempts a similar pro-
cedure; whereupon France reminds
England that the French also have
interests and concessions in Shang-
hal and that nobody can prevent our
landing troops there if we wish"
England is furthermore accused OF
reviving the spheres of influence
policy in China Eat moment when
all the powers seem agreed on the
open door plan"
Germany has sent several ships to
Shanghai and the arrival of French
and Russian warships is announced.
There is a report here that Eng
land has decided not to land her
troops. but to send them instead to
Wei Hal Wei. In discussion of the
subject the Chauvinist paper, La
Press, heads it's article "The Anglo

in short it now looks as if when Field

Peking, August 22.-When received
the people in the legations were well,
but somewhat starved. Minister Con-

the day before you got in. Prince
Ching, president of the 7tsung Ii va

received orders to cease firing on us
under pain of death. At 7 o'clock in

nese opened fire. This continued all
night. If the relieving column had
not arrived when it did we should
probably have succumbed. The Amer
leans lost seventeen marines killed
and fifteen wounded. One child died.
The whole movement is purely a gov
