London, Sept. 19.-There is no addi-
tional news from China this morning.
The Daily Graphic asserts that all the
powers have accepted Ii Hung Chang
and will probably accept Prince Ching
as negotiators. 1t says also that the
powers have agreed to insist that
central government. satisfactory to the
and that full retribution shall be ex-
acted for the attacks upon the lega-
tions. No communications, however,
have yet passed between the powers
concerning indemnities, and a Berlin
dispatch says it is believed there that
DR.. Mumm Won Schwartzenstein, the
German minister, will purposely delay
negotiations until Marshal Won Wal
dersee has arrived.

No Immediate Developme ents.
Washington, Sept. 10. - The passage
Of the day without any event bearing
upon the Chinese situation went to
confirm the prediction made last week
by the officials that there would be no
immediate important developments.
Several cable messages were ex-
changed and there were some consulta-
tions, notably between Acting Secre-
tary Adee and the Chinese and Jap
anese ministers and the French charge
d'affaires. but these were without Wis
ible result. The general impression is
that nothing can be done until the
Chinese themselves have progressed
further toward the restoration Of
the government at Pekin. Meanwhile
the
4 Military Preparation
for a winter stay in China goes on
without cessation. though the officials
are careful to point out that these are
only precautionary measures and are
not to be taken as an indication of a
f1kl determination on the part Of the
government Gen. Chaffee's dispatches
show a decided improvement in the
.jcable communications, and notice hav-
! ing been given to the state department
that the new cable from Shanghai to
Chefu, connecting at that place with
the Taku cable, has just been COM
pleted, it is hoped that it soon will be
possible to get messages through on
the date Of dispatch.
Waldersee's Mission.
Count Waldersee, who viii command
the allied armies, is expected to ar
rive at Shanghai next Wednesday or
Thursday. There have been no an
nouncements of his purposes, but 1t is
expected that these will be developed
as the result of instructions which he
will receive on arrival. Although a
military commander, it is the under
standing among officials that he prob
ably will exert considerable influence
on the
Diplomatic Situation,
as he is a diplomat as we'll as soldier.
The Japanese minister Mr.. Takahira,
had a conference with Acting Secre-
tary Adee concerning the status Of
chinese affairs. Japan's course has
been closely defined in her answer to
the Russian proposal. In this answer
, Japan announces her purpose of with
drawing from Peking all "superfuous"
forces and continuing there only such
force as is considered necessary. Just
what number will constitute this
superfiueous forces does not appear,
although it is expected to be the bulk
of tie japanese detachment now at
fekin.
