 ENTERED PEKIN Flags Planted on Walls Morning
 of August IA. 1T WAS A JOYOUS RECEPTION Americans and British Met With Little Resistance Until They Entered the City-Japanese Troops
 Bore the Brunt
1T WAS A JOYOUS RECEP TON

Copyright, 1900 by The Associated Press).
 Pekin, August 14, via Che Foo, August 2.-The American and Russian flags were planted on the east wall of Pekin at Il clock this morning. The Indian troops entered the British Legation at 1 and the Americans at 3 o'clock. There was a joy full reception from the wall. The emaciated tenants could have lasted but little longer They had only three days rations. The Chinese had been attacking furiously for two days. Four thousand shells fell in the Legations during the siege Sixty-tive people were killed and one hundred and sixty wounded.
 The Japanese began the battle before daylight and they are still fighting about the north wall, wh' re a part of the Chinese defending the Imperial City. The Jap anese casualties have not yet been ascer- tained. The Russians had five killed and twelve wounded. The Americans and Brit ish had few wounded.
 The plan was to make general attack tomorrow. and the troops were arriving at camp five miles east, all night. They were completely exhausted, and slept in the cornfelds in the rain.
 The generals however, alarmed at the sounds of a heavy attack on the Legations, pushed forward independently, the Brit ish, American and French on the left of the river and the Russians and Japanese on the right. Beginning at o'clock this morning the Japanece diverted the brunt of the resistance to the northern city, their artillery engaging the Chinese heavily there. The Americans and British met with but little resistance until they entered the city, where there was street fighting Reilly's battery attempting to breach the inner wall. The troops finally entered the foreign settlement through the canal.
 Company E, Fourteenth United States Infantry, planted its flag on the outer wall, Musician Titus scaling the wall with a rope, by means of which the others climbed to the top
 The Chinese had continually violated the armistice.
 The food supplies sent to the Legations by the Empress Dowager were sufficient for one day.

NOTHING NEW
No Confirmation of Report of Fate of
 Empress Dowager

London, August 22.-3:35 a. m.-In the news that reaches London this morning di- rect from China there is nothing to con- firm the report that the Empress Dow ager has been run to earth. The foreign Envoys, according to the Shanghai corre- spondent of the Daily Express, are pro- ceeding to Tien Tsin. The same corre- spondent ayers that the Sacred City was entered August 15, two days earlier than Rear Admiral Bruce reported
 'The flags of the allies, says the Shang- hai correspondent of the Daily Mail, wiring yesterday, "are now floating over the Im- perial Palace. Street fighting, however, continues Considerable assistance in the capture of Pekin was rendered by 1000 armed native Christians. The Legations were enabled to hold out by purchasing ammunition from the Chinese"
 American action in refusing to deal with l.. Hung Chang in the peace proposal meets with the unanimous approval at the hands of the morning papers. The Stand ard says:
 We imagine that other powers will take the same course, at any rate until Earl Lii produces satisfactory evidence of his authority to negotiate"
 The Daily Chronicle says: MT Conger has at last opened the eyes of the State Department to the real character of the Orientals.'

New York, August 21.-The World tomor- row will say:
 Bob Fitzsimmons has been offered $100 900 by Canadian of high standing to lose his fight with Sharkey, and Fitzsimmons treated the suggestion with contempt. The proposition is said to have come in a let ter from Montreal, which was signed "R. s." and which Fitzsimmons declares he knows to be genuine. The writer as- sures the ex-champion that he is worth SlOO, 900 in cold cash, and gave bank refer ences. He explained how much the sum named would mean to Fitzsimmons. and endeavored to show how no chances would be taken in accepting it. The Canadian said he was eager to arrange matters in order that he might begins bets at to 10. In speaking of the offer Fitzsimmons said:
 "I am money proof. To show I speak the truth just before my fight with Corpett at Carson City I was offered $75,00O to lay down, and I preferred the sweets oe vic tory to dcfeat and ill-gotten gains. Two bankers tried to buy me there, and they had the money ready to pay over as soon a., I consented. I refused to talk tV them at all~ just as I refuse to meet Vie man Nhc offered me $101. 5(0 to lunco the pubic his time

NEW TREATY WITH
 SPAIN IS SIGNED Marks the Last Step in the Complete Restorytion
 of ReIat'Cn

Washington, August 21,-Minister Storer at Madrid informed the State Department that a treaty of amity, commerce and navigation and general intercourse had been signed personally by the Minister of State and himself This practically makes the last step in the complete restoration of relations between Spain and the United States.
 The new treaty recognizes treaty rela- tions between the two nations. Prior to all severance of all Communication upon the declaration of war with Spain the two Governments were proceeding under the terms of a treaty negotiated in the last century. It was very cumbersome and in some respects wholly inapplicable to exist ing conditions, one provision, for instance, relating to trade between the United States and Florida as a colony of Spain.
 Several efforts were made to remedy the defects, but only one was partially sucs cessful the adoption of the Gushing pro- toeol The last attempt was made when MT Olney was Secretary of State, but the strained relations growing out of Cuban affairs caused the effort to fail It is un- derstood that Minister Storer negotiated with Dupuy de Lome, former Spanish Minister to the United States, and now the Under Secretary of State, who, of course, is thoroughly conversant with all the con- ditions of trade likely to arise.
