WASHINGTON. August ia member
Of the Cabinet stated to-day that no con-
sderation would be given promises of
the Chinese Government until the de-
mands that have been made by this Gov
eminent are actually and fully complied
with.
we have made our demands on the
Chinese Government said this official.
I'm very definite language and in view of
that Governments persistent failure to
meet them. although certainly fully under
standing them, mere promises will not
now be considered. Nothing, as l see it,
will stop the march of the relief force TO
Pekfn except the actual delivery OF our
people now there. Unless they are put
into our hands Immediately the allied
forces will continue on into the Chinese
capital without any unnecessary delay.
This peace edict, however, looks as II the
Chinese Government was about ready TO
Weld They probably will be disposed TO
take any steps necessary TO save their
sacred city from foreign intrusion.

(By Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, August l3.-The
dispatch Of General Linevietch, commander
of tia Russian troops in the province OF
Pechlie. to the Russian Minister of War,
General Kouropatkin, describing the cap
tura of Peit Sang and Tang Tsun. has
been published here, but adds nothing to
the details already known.
General Linevietch estimates that the
Chinese at Peit Sang were $4,000 strong.
He says their left flank was mined and
provided with bomb-proofs. Their hur
1;ed flight prevented them from destroying
a bridge of boats, and this enabled the
allies to capture the whole camp, includ-
ing IS guns.
At Yang Tsun. General Lineveitch es-
Inmates the Chinese force as about s3e0oo.
The Russian loss was two officers and 1l6
men wounded. The report concludes:
.:Our troops are bfvouackns at Yang
Tsun, and are In splendid health.
Russian official circles consider that the
Germans sapprehend the real scope OF
the appointment Of Field Marshal Count
Won Waldersee. It is pointed out here that
he will act merely as president Of the
council of generals, TO direct and combine
The operations of the different 6etach-
ments, but without in any way weakening
