BLOODY Il PING
BEHEADED OFFICERS TRYING TO
SUPPRESS BOXERS. - no
MASTER OF TROOPS IN PEKIN.
Has Designs on Emperor and Empress
May Murder Ministers on
Approach of Allies.

New York. August GA dispatch to the
Journal n Advertiser from Shanghai
says:
Director of Telegraphs Sheng in an in
terVieW says that two members of the
Tsung Lii Yamen, or Chinese office, We're
put to death for alleged friendliness to
the foreigners, and add to the previous
story the names of the officials and the
circumstance of their death. He says
the victims of Lii Pins Hangs wrath were
Hsu Ching Chenc, formerly minister to
Russia. and more recently imperial di-
rector general of railways, and Yuan
Chang. They had been doing good work
in suppressing the Boxers. and had sup
ported the efforts of Prince Ching to save
this foreign ministers and restore order
in Pekin.
For this they inc,uced the displeasure
OF Lii Ping Hang. and. Notwithstanding
their office as members of Tsung Lii va
men. they We're led out on July % and be-
headed. as a warming to others who
might seek to befriend the hesieged min
listers. Prince Ching protested. Sheng de-
clares. but his efforts We're ~unavailing.
This. according to Director Sheng.
shows that Ii Ping Hans is master at
Pekin and he adds that Tung Fuh Slang
has 10000 troops in the vicinity of Pekin.
He fears that should the allies force an
enhance to Pekin. Tuns will compel the
emperor and empress dowager to evacu-
ate the palace and place themselves I'M
der his protection. Then he will. most
likely, murder the forO;gn ministers.
Unless Tung is suppressed. Sheng fears
there is no hope for the legations. Ii
Kung. Chang Chi Tung, Lii Hung Chang
and Sheng, according to the latter, sent
az Urgent message to the empress re-
questing that General jung Lu be per-
mitted to escort all the foreign ministers
to Tien Tsin, where the viceroys could
meet and care for them. This was sent
prior to July 26, on which day Lii Ping
Hang arrived in Pekin and had an audi
ence With the empress.
On August l the same viceroys sent a
similar memorial. Sheng received an an
swer 70 the first memorial in the form
of an imperial edict dated July > order
ing jung Lu to provide an escort for the
ministers to Tien Tsin. whenever the
latter should fix the date of the depart
ure. There was no intimation, however.
whether the ministers would avail hem
selves of this chance of reaching the
coast. or would regard it with suspicion
of treachery and wait in Pekin for the
arrival of the relief column.

ing back on the ground that Vice Admiral
Seymour's mistake must not be repeated,
and that marching orders must be deferred
until the transport is in perfect order and
the troops are ready to go up to the capital
with al irresistible rush.
Chinese reports that Russia insists upon
acting Independently and is Directing to
an advance upon Peki are not credited
by those who are watching the crisis more
closely. Some commanders are more eau
tious than others, and the urgency of a

most astute students of Chinese affairs as

cannot be detached from the campaign and
that a relief column will be dispatched to
the capital.

BOLIVIA VS.. CHILL.
Another War Brewing in Troublesome
South America.

New oYrk. August "a dispatch to the
Herald from Valparaiso, Chile, says:
Great alarm is felt in all circles here be-
cause of rumors, apparently based upon
trustworthy information. that the Chilean
consul in Oruro. Bolivia. has been MUIR
dered. 1t is perroted that the government
sas received dispatches confirming the re-
port, but because of their serious nature
has not given them out.
The Mercurio. in an editorial, says that
the United States is the nation which most
efficiently will acknowledge Chile's rights.
SO that the treaty relative to Tacna, and
africa will be carried out without arbitra-
ton or the Intervention of any foreign ma
ton. 1t adds that the International stu
alton in the United States and Chile is al
most Identical.
There was a non-political cabinet crisis
Yesterday. The ministers of foreign affairs
and public works resigned. Deputy Abra-
ham GaZitua has been appointed minister

SUICIDE STORY DISBELIEVEO.
ALL BUT AMERICAN COLUMN
CHARGED WITH INACTIoN.
Careful Observers Say Ministers Will
Be Delivered if Russia Will Not
Desert Allies.

New York. August Ga dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: News from
China at midnight was a mass of contra
dictions and surmises. The most startling
runnor in the air was the story that Lii
Hung Chang had committed suicide. but it
was diScreditel. It was considered as more
probably thai he was instriguing with the
Russian officials and striving to break up
the concert Of the powers.
RGfnnrS that the allied army had adj
vanced toward Pekin were varied with the
details of an eight hours engagement with
Chinese. but this theory simmered down
into a skirmish a few miles west of Tien
Tsin, which had already been reported.
There We're persistent reports from Chi
nese sources that the allied commanders
had disagreed on various points and could
not be induced to order an advance upon
the capital: These differences of opinion
were probably exaggerated, but there was
Chinese fictions. The American, British
and Japanese commanders are described
as eager for an advance, whereas the Rus
slams and Germans do not consider the
united column strong enough for the work,
and assume that it will be forced to retire
to Tien Tsin if it starts prematurely and
inadequately supplied with food and ammu-
nition. The responsibility for %inaction is
sadd!ed upon every contingent except the
American column. which. according to all
and anxious to march to Pekin with the
least possible delay.
Two facts stand out among all these
rumors of dissenSionS. ne is the reluctance
OF the Chinese viceroys and imperial Off
Gals to have the relief columns set in mo
of having an army conducted by a consult
ing board of six generals, or admiral. Two
sections of the allied forces, the Russian
and the German. are believed to be hang

PUERTO RICO IN THRoES OF Sill.
YER AGITATION.

Prices Are Doubled-Agitators Busy
Making Trouble-Strikes and
Combinations.

San Juan. Porto Rico. August l-(Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press.)-Today
marks the beginning Of a general raising
of prices throughout the island. caused by
q misunderstanding of the exchange OF cur
rency. Until a week ago 1t was widely
known that after August l no more Porto
Rican silver would be exchanged, but the
notice of the indefinite extension of time
was published far and wide. Stil the idea
prevails that hereafter the peso will be OF
no value Yesterday the banks were crown
ed after hours. Through a combination of
the traders throughout the island, food
stuffs and other necessities rose in price.
With a very large number now moving to-
creased rents to cheaper lodgings. 1t was
also a day on which woney hat usually
bought breakfast and dinner, bought
breakfast alone. Eggs that heretofore were
bought for two or three c~entavOs, cost 10
c~entavos; the carbon for boiling these eggs,
instead of costing 10 centayos, cost Is centa-
Vos. The cost of every other article Of food
was raised in about the same proportion.
which have rented for so pesos ($SO are
now supposed to bring $50. Furnished
rooms at 10 pesos G6), now bring $40. The
laborer who has been getting a peso a day
(g) now demands 81. The boatmen who
ply across the bay heretofore getting II
centavos a day now ask 10 cents. And SC
it is right down the line.
According to circulars which are dis
tributed about town, all carpenters and
masons who belong to the socialistic union
Will go on strike today and demand s. per
lay, It was commonly exported also that
all laborers would strike today for the
same amount in American money, formerly
paid them in pesos. This raise in prices
Is the result of a gradual increase, a CEN
tavo or so at a time, commenced a month
ago. 1t Is evident that a combination
exists, as the proprietors of stalls at the
market were asking the same prices, and
the increase is uniform about town among
the stores selling staples. Several instances
were brought to the attention of the news
papers where purchasers were told that
commencing with today, all prices will be
In American money. There were few coun-
try produce vendors in town YESTERDAY,
and 1t is currently reported that the mer.
chants have gone out into the country and
bought up all available stock, thus con
troilng the market and leaving them free
to ask their own prices. According to tele-
grams received in this city from many in
terror towns, the shops are closed and the
peso Is refused in aymen OF goods. The
more ignorant of the people believe thai
the dollar tomorrow will be of no more
value than the peso. In other words, that
the dollar. which has always been worth
LOO c~entavos, will deteriorate in value Sc
centavos.
1t is feared hat riots and bloodshed will
result before the matter is adjusted.

Brave Old Sea Captains Wonderful
Record.

San Francisco. August captain Fred
erick Jerome, an old-time sailor, who had
the credit of saving over LOCO lives during
his career. is dead in this city. He was
born in southern England in 1923. He was
presented with the freedom of the city of
New York and an elegant snuff-box for
saving hundreds of lives in the wrecks of

neer society of California by a unanimous
vote.

RIVALS sTENToR's VOICE.

Inc latest monster monograph is the
one at Brighton, Eng, that shoute so
loudly every word can be heard at a dis
lance of 10 miles away.
You can whisper a sentence into the
machines small. funnel-shaped mouth
piece and it will repeat it in tones that
are more deafening than the shrs, s of
a liners steam siren. Yet every word
is perfectly articulated, and a short
hand writer 10 miles away can take
down the message as easily as if you
were debating to him in a small room,
The machine is the invention of Hor-
ace l.. Short of Brighton. In appearance
1t is merely an ordinary photograph.
With a large trumpet measuring four
feet in length. Inside there is a trumpet
there is a small and delicate piece of
mechanism that looks something like a
whistle. There is the tongue of the ma
chine.
Inside of the records" being taken or
wax in the usual manner, a sapphire
needle is made to cut the dos represent
ing the sound vibrations on a silver cyl
inder, and when the needle travels over
the metal a second time the vibrations
cause the whistle to produce a series ri
air waves, n the machine thus becomes
a talking siren which transforms the
human voice into a deafening roar. q
The experiments were made near the
Devils dyke. Brighton. where TIL inven-
tor had his workshops. The instrumen
was placed on the roof of the laboratory,
and was made to repeat a number OF
sentences. At d distance of 10 miles
the sounds We're plainly heard by a large
number of people. every word being per-
fectly distinct. and at a second trial
with a favorable wind 1t was found that
an unknown message could be taken
down in shorthand at a distance of l.
miles. Over the water the sounds will
carry still further: and under favorable
circumstances they might easily be
heard by persons on a vessel Is miles out
at sea. Placed on a lighthouse or light
ship h photograph would give q yer
bal warning that would be infinitely
more effective than the foghorns and de-
tonators at presentin use.
The possibilities of the machine are
practically endless. 1t will render louo
