London, August 80, $40 a. m.-That
the inexplicable delay in forwarding tele-
grams from the Chinese capital still con-
tinues, Is illustrated by the fact that the
latest despatch from Pekin, the telegram
OF the special correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press. describing the search for
Boxers IN the imperial park, is dated no
later than August 81.
There is no confirmation from any
source of the report of an advance north
ward from Pekin. On the contrary a
movement southwark to clear the coun-
try and to insure free communication with
Taku Is apparently in progress. The
powers, as late as August q, were still
unable to agree as to how to deal with
Pekin itself, the japanese and Russians
being at variance as to whether the I'M
periaI palaces should be destroyed.
Nor is there any further news OF the al
legged detention of Ii Hung Chang by the
admirals. Probabilities increase that all
members Of the imperial household have
gotten safely to the interior.
A Reuter- despatch, dated Pekfn, Au-
gust 10, and sent by post to Shanghai,
describes scenes of appalling desolation
and wanton destruction in legation
street. Ali the houses OF foreigners were
riddled with shells, burned or blown up.
An attempt was made to mine the Amer
lean legation. A shaft was sunk from the
top Of the wall fifteen feet deep ana was
then continued as a tunnel with q sharp
slope in the direction of the legation
Apparently the Chinese did not have
time to finish It.
The Steele report of a defeat suffered
by the allies at Pekin is everywhere dis
credited.
The Chinese legation in st. Petersburg
has received news that peace negotiations
have already begun.
The Pekin correspondent of the Daily
News in despatch dated August II, as
serts that there are thousands of instances
going to show that the Boxers were ap-
proved by the imperial officials in their
indescribabIe ferocity.

LORD ROBERTS REPORTS.

London, August 2s.-Lord Roberts re-
ports, under date of Belfast, August 28,
as follows:
Our movements are slow on account
OF the extent and nature our country.
Today we made satisfactory advance
and met with decided success. The
work fell entirely to Buffers troops and
the capture of Bergendal, u very strong
position two miles northwest of DaI-
manutha I met Butler at Bergen0al
shortly after it was reached by our troops.
am glad to find the occupation cost
less than we feared, on account of the
approach being across an open glacis
for two or three thousand yards and the
determined stand Of the enemy. The
Iniskfllins and Second Rifle brigade
formed the attacking party. The latter
suffered most I hope the casualties
do not exceed so or 60 One officer was
killed and two were wounded.
"A good many Beers were killed and

tured.

imperialism.
IsPEcML TO THE PRESS. l

South Berwick, August Ex-senator
Hale addressed a large audience mere to-
night. lie ably discussed national issues
and dwelt at length on Imperialism. He
admitted that he isn't an expansionist,
and that he had hoped war would be
avoided. But he believed the President has
acted wisely and patriotically. Regarding
the Philippines he was opposed to that
feature of the treaty ana he still believes 1t
dangerous, and that the American people
will be- very tired of it before many years.
But he added that Bryan IS more than
any other man that treads American
soil, responsible for the treaty's ratifica-
tion of what he now calls deadly imperi-
alism. He related the circumstances of
sending a despatch to Dewey to proceed
forthwith to Manila and capture or des-
troy the Spanish fleet" He said 1t would
have been better had these words been
added: ''And report forthwith at Hong
Kong, but he didn't think to suggest
that precaution, and nobody else did, SO
they had to accept events as they pro-
ceeded. II o said the spirit of the war
resolution is being carried out in Cuba
and Porto Rico, and he hoped the day
was not far of when the last American
soldier win have left those islands. He
praised the administration conduct in
the Chinese trouble and said our coun-
try's honor will be maintained without
our dividing China. We don't need any
Chinese territory and are better off with
ont it.

pROHIBIpION FOR HAWAII.

Honolulu, August s1-(via San Fran
cisco, August ss)-The discovery has
been made that by the wording of the
territorial bill Congress has made an
exaotment that absolutely prohibits the
sale of intoxicating liquors in the terri
tory of Hawaii. In section 55 Of the ter
ritoriaI bill are the words:
"Nor shall spirituous or Intoxicating
liquors be sold except under such regu-
lations and restrictions as the territorial
legislature shall provide"
The next legislature will be asked to
change the rules as that the difficulty
may be corrected.

Washington, August 28.--The cruiser

only as monitor No. s, until further or
ders.
There is considerable competition
among a number of the states to secure
this vessel for th cir namesake. Okla
homa has been suggested as a good Indi-
an name and a ftUing name in view of
the fact that the sister ship of moni
tor No. s, now building on the Pacific
coast, will be known as the Wyoming.
Arizona also has made bid for the
monitor No. 8, and this claim probably
will be brought to the attention of Sec
retary Long when he returns to Washing
ton. In this connection there has been
some discussion over the names of new
cruisers which have been Professionally
christened West Virginia and South Da-
kota.
One of the objections is that these
names are confusing and Objectionable
from practical naval standpoint,
i There win bs batUleship Virginia to
get mixed up in reports and signals
with the cruiser West Virginia while
the presence OF a North Dakota and a
South Dakota in the naval register is
safdEto be open to the same objection.

MESSAGES DELAYED.
Evidence That Govt Communications
Are Tampered with by Chinese.

Washington, August 2S,-Severa1 COM
munications came to Washington from
the United States officials in China today
but being dateIess in most cases, the
goyernme mt was by no means satisfied
with the state OF communications and the
cabinet meeting gave the larger part Of
it's attention to the problem of rectify-
ing this state of affairs Evidences OF in
terference with the messages have acou-
mulated to point where the government
hasEdetermined to take steps to establish
channels Of It's own, even ii it is neces-
sary to employ the rather expensive device
of a man of war plying bet ween Shang
hal and Che Foo for this purpose. Mean
while word comes that rapid progress is
making with the shore cable, which is
to connect these points and it is believed
that within week this means Of commu-
nication will be open, Three messages
from General Chafee were received today
and while they cast no direct light on
the military situation they were inferen-
TALLY Important. The generals statement
that he needs no siege battery, taken in
connection with the diver sion of the first
cavalry seems to make clear that there Is
no intention to enter into prolonged
campaign in China such as would involve
the use of heavy arti llery or OF reinforce
ments in the shape of men and horses.
At the same time, 1t cannot be said that
the government has shown any sign of a
purpose to abandon any just claim it
may have secured upon China but it be-
gins to appear that the battle Of today Is
one Of diplomacy rather than one OF arms
and Notwithstanding the various rumors
that have filtered out from Chinese
