REJECT APPEAL FOR TRUCE.
Cabinet Decides to Refuse Latest Appeal
of Ii Hung Chang.

Washington, Aug. 22-The cabinet
session yesterday practically opened
the consideration of the momentous
questions growing out of the capture
OF Peking and the war in China. I'm
til yesterdays session the absorbing
question has been the safety of Minis
ter Conger and the legationers at Pc.
king. Now. however, that has given
place to problems of more intricate
and far-reaching character, touching
the very existence of the Chinese en-
pre- and the part which the Amer
lean government is to take in the re-
construction of that country.
The meeting was devoted entirely to
the Chinese situation. Several ques-
tlons We're awaiting attention. First
OF these was the application of Lii
Hung Chang for the appointment of
Minister Conger or some other com
missioner to negotiate for the cessa-
ton OF hostilities. The decision ar
rived at was to reject the appeal and a
reply of this character will be Sent to
Minister WI, to be forwarded to Lii
Hung Chang. The moving cause for
this action is that this government is
at present very much in the dark as
to whether there is any existing gov
ernment in China With the capitoi
IN the hands of the allies, the en-
peror and empress dowager fugitiyes
In hiding, and the entire governmental
fn hpia
OF an authority adequate to conduct
negotiations and secure results final
and binding. In the meantime there is
reason to believe that the United
States and all the other powers inter-
ested will keep their armed forces on
the ground so that order may be main
tanned and in order that at least n
semblance of government may be
brought out of the existing chaos.

PRINCE OF NAPLES.
la Has Presented Monte Cristo Is.
land to His Wife.
Small Domain, But One That Has
Been Made Familiar TO Every
Reader of Fiction by the
Elder Dumas,

The young prince of Naples has pur-
chased the island of Monte Cristo as
present for his charming wife, and has
erected there hunting lodge, which he
proposes to make his headquarters
whenever the fancy seizes him to fee
from the glare and hustle of court life
and to enjoy few days hunting and
shooting in place that knows not the
telegraph or the postman, and that, al
though part of Italy. is practically q
terra ineognita. eFenstos the Italians
themselves. The island which the
prince has bought Is an Insignificant
little strip of land, and yet there is a
fascination about it which renders the
news of its purchase of extreme inter
est to the thousands in all countries
who are familiar with the name of
Monte Cristo.
AS seen from the Mediterranean, the
ls1and is conieal neck of granite, five
miles in circumference and 2,0G0 feet
high. In stormy weather the sea
dashes fercely against it, and it is not
easy to make a landing. Neither does
it contain anything likely to attract
the ordinary tourist. The ground is
n4a.Ily covered with powders, and
there is not an acre of land which can
be cultivated. On the other hand, the
sportsman and the naturalist will find
many treasures amid this mass of rock.
Wild goats have long been suzerains of
the place, and partridges have long
made it their home. The chirpingaof
the grasshoppers is heard on all sides
and beetles luxuriate in the dense
shrub and grasses which are found here
and there. Myrtles and olive trees
spread in all directions, forming many
a labyrinth, and old inchen walls the
deformity of many an uncouth rock.
There are few places in the world
where treasure is more. likely to have
been buried, and for the reason that in
bygone ages the island of Monte Cristo
