LONDON, Aug. Ii, 4:1o a. m.-The
morning papers express satisfaction at
the latest developments In China. re
average comment is that China now
Is genuinely sueIns for peace through
Ii Hung Chang.
Dispatches printed this morning give
further detaIl1 OF the taking OF Yang
Tsuu. According to the Daily Mails
correspondent ithe attack was led by
the Americans and British. The Chi.
hese position consisted of seven lines
Of entrenchments. The enemy fell back
from one to another until, driven to the
last line, they fed to Pekln, completely
demoralized. The Chinese say they re-
treated because the British poured
poison. into their. troops. This refers
to the iydditee shells. which the Chi
nese then experienced for the first
time. . s5t}t.i is !
The correspondent auoco tnal the
British casualties were 200 and the
American $50, but this latter estimate,
It will be noticed, is four times greater
than that OF General chnffee's report.
A st. Petersburg dispatch says the
Chinese minister there. Yang Yu. has
received n telegram announcing that
Ii Hung Chang is dangerously Ill and
confined to his bed. and that he had
been granted a months leave.

Will Not Advise conger to Leave.
r As TO the terms OF the message they
are believed to make plain that this
government wlllGnot advise, much less
direct, that Mr.. Conger leave Pekin un.
der Chinese escort, when the minister
has advised Washington that this
would mean certain death. Moreover
the reply doubtless let's the minister
know that there Is an unaccountable
error IN the statement, OF the Chinese
government. as conveyed to him
through the tsung-ll-yamen, that the
foreign governments had urged repeat. ;.
edly that the ministers be, sent, out OF
lPekin under suitable escort. This
clause. contained In Mr.. Conger's lat
est dispatch, clearly shows that the
Chinese government is leading him to
believe that 1t Is the wish OF Washing
ton that he leave under a Chinese es-
cort, whereas the United States gov
ernment never has entertained for n
moment the idea OF having the minis
ter set out on the dangerous pllgrlm-
age from Pekin 10 the coast under Chi
nesc protection.
China's Double Dealing.
There Is no probability that the at
tcntion OF the Chinese, government will
be directed to It's apparent double
dealing, as Indicated by the Conger
dispatch. This government has trans
mitted to the other powers Interested
the note to the Chinese government
entrusted to Minister WI on the night
of the eighth. It has assurances from
the other powers that they have not
advised their Representatives to accept
Chinese escort from PekIn. 1t was off,
ciaiiy stated Mt the close OF the day
that no further representations have
been made to the Chinese government
since the Adea note OF the eighth, and
that none will be made until the Chi
nese government has given some indl-
cation of the attitude 1t vii! assume
complying with or denying the de-
mands OF the United States!
May Not Have Got the Messages.
While the state department Is con-
tlnuins to dispatch messages to Minis
ter conger on the assurances of the Chi
nese government that communication Is
unlnterrupted, 1t is doing so with com;
parotiveiy small hope of their delivery.
This assertion was borne out tonight
when Secretary Root said that there
was no convincing evidence In posses
sion of this government that amy of our
dispatches really had reached Minister
Conser This indicates that the minis
ter has not given a direct and salts.

that have been addressed to him by the
