tain and complicated than ever. When the

the walls of the Tartar city, and itself en-
closing within its own walls the forbidden
city. also walled, the residence of the i'm

task of reducing the imperial city. This will
upon the effectiveness of the artillery the
allies can bring to bear upon the walls of
the fated city. 1t is not definitely known
whether the dowager Empress has re-
mained within the mysterious precincts of
the forbidden city. as one report saws, or
whether she fled before the occupation, taxi
ing the Emperor with her, as another re-
port says. No report has yet been received
from Minister Conger. and until it has
been received the State Department will be
without official advices as to the diplomatic
situation.
The appeal of Ii Hung Chang for peace
will not be answered until the administra-
tion has heard fully from Mr.. Conger
Moreover it would be absurd to attempt to
negotiate treaty with Ii until it is known
where his government is and communica-
ton can be had with it. The United States
has heretofore proceeded on the theory
that the Chinese government was not in
sympathy with the attacks upon foreigners,
and especially those directed against the
official representatives of this and other
governments; that the Chinese govern
ment would have put down the anti-for-
eign uprising if it had had the power; that
IL would have lent aid to the allies if IL
could have done SO; that, in short the up
rising was a rebellion against the Chinese
government and that the movement in Pek-
ing was not directed against that govern
ment. but against those who were defying
its power. But theories must yield to facts,
and II now appears to be fact that the
imperial troops have opposed and are op-
posing the allies with the approval. If not
ernment. If this suspicion should be veri-
fed and the opposition should continue. it
would necessarily mean war in the inter-
national sense with China This govern
ment and the governments of all the civil
lied powers, except, perhaps, Germany, are
anxious to avoid war in that sense. bur
whether it can be avoided depends now as
1t has depended all along upon the Chinese.

JAPANESE ADvIcEs.
Important Dispatches Covering the
Situation at Peking.

Situation at Peking.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20-The japanese
legation to-day received several important
dispatches giving the fullest and latest
information of events in Peking. A tele-
gram dated Toxic. Aug. 10, says:
After entry into Pelking was effected by
the allied troops the Chinese troops on
Aug. - betook themselves TO and remained
in the imperial palace. A body of Japan
ese troops was told off TO guard the pal
ace, and there they met with obstinate re-
sistance. by the Chinese troops. Fighting is
still going on. The headquarters of the
Japanese army is in the legation and the
division is mainly quartered in the village
outside of An-Ting-Men."
from the Japanese foreign Office gives the
following dispatch from the acting Japan
ese consul general at Shanghai:
From Sheng's statements to me 1 am
inclined to think there is truth in the rumor
that the Empress dowager at least, if not
the Emperor, too, has left Peking for Wu-
Tai-Hsien. in Shen-Si province, via Tao
Ting-Fu, for he told me that some of the
privy council crossed the Lukon bridge on
the 18th with banners bearing inscriptions
oenoting that they formed part of the i'm
perial escort, and that Lu Chuan Liu, gov
ernor of Kiang-Su sent a telegram on the
14th to the southern viceroys and Governors
directing them to forward all war funds to
Shen ST. But as an imperial decree was
issued on the 13th the departure, If it took
place at all, must have been subsequent to
that date. 1 have also learned from an
other reliable source that Princes Ching.
Yung Lu and Kang vi are still in Peking,
though Prince Tuan has followed the En-
press dowager."
A telegram dated the 10Th from the jap
anese Foreign Office says:
"The Japanese consul at Annoy telegraphs
as follows, Aug. Is: 1T is reported from the
interior that in Ting-Chou-Fu and Lung
Yeun-Chou several Christian chapels were
destroyed by mobs. The anti-Christian
movement appears to be spreading toward
the district of Chang-Chou-Fu. There do
not. however, seem to be any foreign mis-
sionaries in the interior
Prince Ching, referred to as still at
Peking, is the Chinese official most friendly
to the foreigners. while Prince Tuan, who
is said TO have followed the Empress dow
ager. is the head of the anti-foreign ele-
ment. Yung Lu is probably in command
of the imperial forces
