Then it was suggested, ";ust to see

They professed to believe that he was an agent of the Armenian revolutionary plot started in the United States. The mistake was explained by the state department and the innocent people were released after thirty-nine days imprisonment. The danger to all Americans was so great. however. that the Nishkians abandoned their large tobacco business and fled to America on a man-Of-war. Recently the Sultan issued an edict that property cOnfiscated would be restored. Forti- fled with his naturalization papers, the doctor will essay the recovery of his family possessions.

 ''Taku. Aug. T.. Bureau Navigation, Washington: I have just received a telegram from Ten Tsin. dated August 16, saying that Pekin was captured on August 15. The foreign legations are safe.
 (Signed) "REMY.' The acting secretary of state made public the following plain telegram, received this (Friday) evening from the United States consul at Che Foo:
 The Japanese admiral reports that the allies attacked Pekin, east, on the 18th. There was obstinate resistance. The Japanese entered the capital with the other forces and immediately sur rounded the legations. The inmates were safe. The Japanese loss was over 100; the Chinese, 300.

London, Aug. 1S.-4 a.m.-"Pekin was relieved on the night of the 15th.' This message was received last evening Ut the imperial customs office in London from the commissioner of customs in Che Foo. It is the only official message that reached England in confirmation of the early reports. Admiral Remey's dispatch not having arrived in time for publication in the London morning papers.
 The Morning Post. which is the only paper printing the Che Foo message, says: Today is not only a day of na- tional rejoicing, it is also a day of con graduation for all the powers of the world"
 Proceeding to discuss the probabili- ties of the cessation of hostilities, the Morning Post asserts that the United States is willing to abandon any idea of further aggressive action, but it questions the disposition of Germany and other powers to agree to such course.
