General Belief at Washington That
Pekin Has Been Captured BY
Allied Army.
Considerable Anxiety Manifested
Over Fate Of the Foreigners
Fesra Massacre
Approach Of the Army Nay Have
Caused Fresh Outbreak Of
Fanaticism.

Washington. Aug 17.-Official Wash
ington believes the allied forces have
rescued the diplomats and the entire
Foreign contingent in Pekin.
1t is believed this has been effected
thru an arnlistice, the first condition OF
which was the turning over Of the le-3
gationers to the allies either at the
walls of Pekin or within the imperial
city itself.
This belief is borne out by official
revelation OF the fact that LII Hung
Chang has asked such anarmistice, and
that Gen. Chaffee had previously been
instructed to grant a truce in behalf OF
the United States, provided the safety,
of the iegationers was assured.
From high sources at the state de-
partment 1T was learned that almost
identical instructions in this regard
have in all probability been sent by the
European powers to their commanders
With the relief column.
News of the rescue of the diplomats
and other foreigners in Pekin is there
fore hourly expected by the state de-!
partment.
From Japanese sources comes the
most advanced information regarding
the progress of the allies-first in
Toxic advices that Tung Chow had
been occupied, and later in the day. in
an official dispatch from the Japanese
foreign Office to Minister Takahira con-
|tirming this report. Some days have
|elapsed, however, since this occupation
of Tung Chow, and there had been am-
pie time to cover me eight miles be-
tween that place and Pekin.
Secretary Root is satisfied that Tung
Chow has been left behind He is
borne out by a dispatch received during
1.-The day from Admiral Remey, convey.
ing the japanese report of the occupa-.
tlon of Tung Chow, and adding the
statement. also on japanese authority,
that the attack on Pekin was expected
to be made yesterday
The only fear ranking in the minds
of official Washington is induced by the
feeling that thru the capture of Tung
Chow. the Chinese may have become
frantic with fear and a desire for res
Nenge and made u final and most des-s
perate attack on the legation, with
dreadful results.
