PROV FOR Pc KIN

LONDON, August GA special dispatch
from ST. Petersburg contains the assertion
that Russia, almost Immediately, will noti-
fly the powers that she considers the relief
of the Pekin legations the final accom-
pIishment of the military task of the allied
forces. There is nothing, however, In the
afternoon papers here to confirm this.
The afternoon papers doubt that the ru-
mors of peace negotiations are well found
ed and applaud General Chaffee's prudence
in preparing for a winter campaign, as
they regard the activity of the allies at
Pekin and the difficulty of discovering a
responsible Chinaman with whom to treat,
unless Ii Hung Chang is able to place him
self in communication with the fugitive
court and secure credentials satisfactory
to all the powers, indications that the
solution of the problem will be more pro-
longed and more difficult than previously
hoped.

intention of the admirals TO detain Ii Hung
Chang until the diplomats have consented
to open negotiations with the Chinese, re-
ferred 10 a situation which existed some
time ago, when Ii Hung Chang first an
nounced his intention of starting north.
The French officials declare the news is not
old and that there is question to the
correctness of the wording of the dispatch:
but they add that they themselves are un-
able to say from the dispatch what is the
present position of Ii Hung Chang. whether
he is detained on board ship whether the
admirals intend to detain him when he ar
rives at Taku.
