Expectation That He VIII be Relieved OF
DUTY in China.
Washington, Oct "a. BASED ON Gen.
Chaffees ndvice, the War Department
officials are of the opinion that all of
the American troops included in the
order of evacuation have not only left
Pekin. but probably are now at Tien-
tsin, or nearby. The Quartermaster
Department has made all arrangements
for taking them aboard ship, SO there
is no longer much danger of the troops
being prevented by ice from leaving
North China.
1t is now said that in all probability
Gen. James II. Wilson, the second in
command in China, will soon be de-
tached, and will not remain in Pekin,
according to the original programme.
Instead of having the negotiations
for a final settlement conducted through
fully organized commission 10 behalf
of tho United States government, as at
first proposed, it begins to appear that
they will be conducted, il there are to
be any formal negotiations, through the
simple mechanism of the American
Legation at Pekiu, proper credentials
for the purpose being dispatched to
Minister Conger.
