BRITISH TOO LATE.
London, Aug. 22.-Admiral Bruce
cables from Taku that the British COM
manding officer at Peking General
Gaselee) reports under date Of August
II as follows:
II regret that owing to the heavy
road the forced march Of the naval
brigade did not avail, in order that
they might participate in the entry yes
terday."
A second dispatch from Admiral
Bruce today r-ports fighting six miles
south of Tien Tsin on August 10.
CITY OCCUPIED"
Washington, Aug. 22.-"City occu-
pied" was the message flashed by
Major Scriven at Peking to the head
quarters Of the signal corps last night.
1t bore date of August II. which was a
day later than any previous dispatch
from the Chinese capital.
Major Scriven's telegram was inter-
preted by the war department officials
to mean that all Of Peking is in the
hands of the allied troops. In includes.
In their judgment, all the cities enclosed
by the outer wall Of Peking. They are
the Tartar, Imperial and Forbidden
Cities.
With that view verified it will be
true that for the first time in history
the armed host of the foreign devils"
occupy the sacred vessels and temple
Of the imperial city. Until 1894 not
even the ambassador of foreign power
entered the inner city of the Chinese
capital. The occupation Of the inner
city, as indicated by the Scriven re-
port, would be logical sequence Of
events reported in previous kilograms.
1t is presumed that Scriven would use
other words If only part of the city
were occupied.
An unpleasant feature Of today's dis
patch was the statement that fighting
is going on around Tien Tsin. 1t had
been hoped that the Chinese had been
SO thoroughly beaten that they would
be subdued. Activity on their part will
necessitate the sending Of reinforce
ments to protect the long line Of COM
munication between Tien Tsin and the
capital. AS Peking will be garrisoned
until the powers had collected the pen
atty for the outbreak and satisfac-
tory government is installed, there
viii be a demand for a large force prob
ably all winter. President Mckinley
has not yet formulated the American
program. He is waiting to hear from
the people in this country and from
General Chaffee.
