UNITED ACTION.
Diplomatic Negotiations Looking
to a Coalition Against
China.

London, July 21.--Active diplomatic
negotiations are passing between the
powers regarding a coalition against
China. England and the United States
foreign offices are arranging close ac-
cord on the question of partition. These
two governments probably will declare
openly against it in a few days.
Numerous dispatches are passing be-
tween Hay aud Salisbury with the idea
of the two countries forming Identical
policies.
When the proposition was made to al
low Japan owing to her proximity to the
scene of trouble, to land more than her
quota of troops i'll China and take the
lead i'll the advance On Pekin all the
powers agreed to it. Russia was most
hearty in her approval of the scheme.
Then England, between whom and ia
pan there exists a secret treaty OF ALL
ance proposed to the. powers that Japan
be given mandatory power to settle the
China difficulty.
To this Russia did object and objected
most strenuously.
England then appealed to Germany to
use her influence to secure RusSia's con-
sent to japanese supremacy in the oper-
atiOns and settlement of the outbreak.
Germany replied in diplomatic Ian
guage, but with a strong accent, that she
would do nothing of the kind.
Japan, not being given mandatory pow
ars. has held back and some even hint
that England is holding her back.
Now that the United States is leaguing
with England, Russia may be forced, in
the interest of humanity, to waive her
objection to japanese authority and save
the ministers, the women and children
and their brave defenders from the fury
of the Chinese mOhs.

WITHDRAW THE TROOPS.
Force in Cuba Reduced to 5000
Men-Constitution Conven-
= ton in the Fall.

Washington. D. c.. July 21.-Gen.
Wood, encouragement Of Cuba, had a
conference today with the secretary of
war with the result that it was deter
mined to keep a force of about 5000 men
in Cuba for several months yet. This
decision will permit of the withdrawal
from the island OF another regiment in
addition to those previously ordered
home. The First regiment of infantry,
posted in Pinar del Rio and Guanajay,
has been selected as the fourth regiment
to come home and orders to that end
were telegraphed to Cuba by Gen. Wood
1t also was decided that the constitu-
tional convention should be convened
during the early fall, the date being left
to Gen Wood. Gen. Wood says that
peace and quiet prevail in Cuba and that
the troops are kept there simply for their
moral influence and as an indication to
the people that lawlessness will not be
tolerated. He left here this afternoon
for New York and will make visit to
his mother at Boston early next week
He expects to sail for Havana to resume
his official duties next Saturday.

THE FATE OF ANDREE.
Dying Man, Two Corpses and Bal
loon Wreckage Found by
Indians on Hudson Bay.

Fort William, Ont, July 2O.-Indians
hunting on the east coast of Hudson bay,
many miles north of Fort George, in the
early spring, bring back to civilization a
story that may give to the world the
history of the fate of Andree and his
companions.
George Renison, son of a former pas
tor of st. Johns church, returned last
Sunday after an absence of months, dur
ing which time he was as far north as
Moose Factory, the Hudson Bay COM
panys post on the west coast of James
bay. Before he left the last packet from
York Factory brought word that Indians
who were hunting above Fort George on
the east coast of Hudson bay had found
vast quantity of wreckage, the bodies
of two men, and a man in the last stage
of the death struggle.
The Indians could not understood the
language he spoke, but it was not Eng
lish. He died while they were there and
they returned to their post without
bringing away any evidence of the
never seen a balloon, the nature of the
wreckage was judged only from descrip-
tons given by them. bur Mr.. Renison
says they described accurately the car
and other fixtures that could belong to
nothing else.
Hudson Bay company officials are firm
ly convinced that it is the Andree party
and have sent out men guided by the
same Indians to find and bring back evil
dence to establish the identity of the par
ty, as the Indians assert that books and
papers were lying around.
Mr.. Renison left Moose Factory June

BY A SECRET PASSAGE.
Ministers May Have Escaped and Are
Hidden in the Palace.

Hidden in the Palace.
London, July 21.-One of the best-in-
formed men of the veteran military serv-
ice said that he accepted the text of
Mr.. Conger's message as full and salts
factory proof that the ministers were
alive. When asked how he could ex
plain the protracted defense of the in
closure, protected by a palisade of mod
crate height he asserted that the mill
tary guards had probably seized COM
handing position on the, great wall,
where they had held the mobs at
bay. He also was confident that the
ministers and the women had been trans
ferred by a secret passage under the wall
into the imperial city and had been hid
den in the palace. Another veteran of
the consular service in China informed
me that while he could not account for
the American minister's reputed message
he could not comprehend how it had been
possible for so weak and indefensible
position as the British embassy enclosure
to be held for weeks against persistent
assaults Of soldiery armed with artillery,
and that he was reluctantly forced to be-
lieve that the ministers and all refugees
had persisted.
