MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
A Railway Train Plunges Into SAN
dusky Bay-So Lives Lost.

Sandusky, O., August 17.-Lake Shore
train No. 3, westbound, was wrecked
at Bay Bridge, near Sandusky, at /
o'clock this morning. The train left
Cleveland at 1885 O'Clock p. m. and
struck a broken rail near Bay Bridge.
The engine and two mail cars passed
over the bridge safely. The neNt three
cars, consisting of two mail and a
combination car, went over the bridge
into SanduSky bay, into twenty feet
of water. The rest of the train left the
track, but did not go over the bridge,
and beyond a severe shaking up and
a bad scare, no one was injured in
these cars.
The three cars piled up in a mass in
the water below, imprisoning the mail
clerks, and the passengers in the COM
bination, baggage and passenger coach.
Not a life was lost, passengers and
employees climbing through windows
and doors and being rescued from the
water with slight injuries.

HOW THE CAPTURE WAS MADE
The success Greater Than the Wash
ington Officials Dared to Hope

Washington, August 1I.-The allied
armies have captured and entered Pc
kin in the face of obstinate resistance
and the members of the foreign lega-
ions are safe.
Official confirmation OF the fall Of
the Chinese capital came to n United
States government tonight in the shape
of two cablegrams, one from Admiral
Remey and the other from Consul Gen.
eral Fowler at che Foo. The cable
gram from Admiral Remey came to
hand first, early in the evening, follow
ed very soon after by thai of Consul
Fowler, and the officials. realizing the
great public interest in h events
which it was believed a happened IN
Pekin, at once made them public.
Previous information which has been
received here showed that the allied
armies took possession Of Tuns Chow
on the 18th instant. From that city
TO Pekin the distance is not very
great, not more than a dozen miles. 1t
seems evident, therefore, that the ar
mics halted for a time at Tung Chow,
probably for the urpo Of giving the
men a rest and to prepare for the at
tack on the capital city in force, after
waiting until the rear or the advancing
host should arrive at the front. Posi-
bly, also the delay was the result OF ne
gotiationS inaugurated by the Chinese
officials looking to the delivery of the
ministers with a Chinese Or other eS-
cort. If negotiations were attempted
they must have failed. as the army
continued on it's march and attacked
the capital three days after reaching
Tung Chow.
The officials here were aware Of the
fact that the stronghold OF the Boxers
was in the Chinese city and that for
the allies to attempt to force their
way through it n the Tartar city in
which the legation compounds are To-
Gated might mean a great loss OF life
and possibly a defeat.
1t was also known hat the imperial
troops which nave sided with the Box
erS were many of them in or near the
Chinese city and that such of the ar
tillery and rifle fire which has been
poured into the legations had been
from the walls separating the two
cities. The facts evidently were COM
municated to General Chaffee and the
other commanding officers of the al
lies. Realizing these obstacles it ap-
pears the allies decided to attack the
city by the east gate. There are four
entrances to the city on the east, two
leading to the Chinese city and two to
the Tartar city. Just which of these
was selected as the attacking point
Consul Fowler's dispatch oes not dis
close. Contrary to the press reports of
today Consul Fowler's dispatch shows
that the attack on the city met with
strong resistance. The Japanese ad-
vance engaged with the enemy, accord
ing to the understanding Of the officials
here, numbered TO- 900 men. so that the
loss suffered by them was over l per
cent. No mention Is made of h losses
of the forces of the other armies, but
it is presumed that it was in proper
ton to that suffered by the japanese.
Nothing has come to the wal de-

THE NATIVE CHRISTIANS
To be included I'm Any Treaty Between
Our Government.

Washington, August IA cabinet
official said today that the native
Christians in China, said to number
several thousand, will be included in
any arrangement made between this
government and China incident TO the
cessation of hostilities. At the present
stage of the Chinese situation this
subject has not yet been seriously dis
cussed by the cabinet, but there is no
doubt. according to this member, that
the United States is in homo bound
to protect them and will Sacredly look
out for their security.
1t was stated that, while the matter
has not been formally considered the
indemnity to be collected my the Unit
ed States will be not only for the fam
lilies of the victims, but also probably
to compensate this government for the
expense il has been put to in prosecut-
ing the campaign. cit has not been
a heavy expense compared to the Span
ish war, he said, 'ibut it will be suffi-
cient, together with the indemnity to
the families of missionaries and other
victims and for all loss to the property
of the United States government or
of American citizens to make it a very
serious matter, financially, to China"
