Story That the Empress
Is Still in Pekin.
Another Report Has 1t Prince
Tuan Is Captured.

London, August %, 345 o. m.-Five
hundred American troops participated in
signal defeat of Boxers outside Tien
Tsin, August 10. The fact is briefly re-
ported from Vienna. Details of the en-
gagement comes from the Reuter- agent
at Tien Tsin in a despatch dated August
20. In addition to the Americans the
force consisted of 873 British and 200
Japanese, all under the British General
Dorward. The tight took place at viii
lage six miles southwest of Tien Tsin,
where the allied forces found a consider
able number of Boxers whom they en-
gagged, killing over 800 and taking forty
wounded prisoners who were sent to the
hospitals OF the allies. The village was
burned. The Americans had five
wounded the japanese six and the
British none. Hundreds of s'Boxer'9
flags, spears and swords were captured
From Shanghai comes a report qualified
by the assertion that it is from purely
Chinese sources that the Empress Dowa-
ger, after proceeding one days journey
from Pekin, became terrified at the
looting by General lung Fuh Siang's
troops and went back to Pekin. Chinese
telegram from Tsin An Fuh says that
Prince Tuan has been captured by a
detachment of the allies. Other Chinese
messages record the formation of pro-
visional government in Pekin by the
allies; but this appears to be purely
military measure and merely an elabora-
tion Of the scheme for dividing the city
into sections for police purposes. LII
Hung Chang has received word that the
allies entered Pekin easily, because the
troops of General Tung Flu Slang utter
Iy refused TO face the allies. According
to the Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Express Earl LII recognizing the
futiIity of an attempt to drive the for
eigners from China, now processes con-
version to reform principles Shanghai
advices announce the receipt there of a
Chinese official despatch asserting that
Emperor Kwang Su has been found and

TROOPS WILL REMAIN IN CHINA.
Washington, August 24.-The question
of the withdrawal of the United States
forces from Pekin to Tien Isin, or Taku,
has been seriously considered by the
President and his advisers. A great deal
Of pressure has been brought to bear upon
the administration to take this step, but
after mature deiiberation it has beer
determined that the negotiations Tor the
settlement Of the questions growing out
OF the disturbances IN China must take
place IN the Chinese capital, and that
while these negotiations are pending and
until they are completed, it viii be neces-
sary for the United States forces to re-
main In the Chinese capital. While it is
recognized that a Withdrawal of the
forces from Pekin must be hailed with
satisfaction in this country it is said that
the moral effect IN China and upon the
Chinese would be bad and would be in
terpreted by the Chinese as a retreat.
