Secretary Long Says the Captain Mus,
Explain.

Explain.
Secretary of the Navy Long was inter-
viewed in Boston, Mass, last night in re-
gard to the proable action of the Navy De-
partment in the case of Capt. Chadwick
who has been quoted as making statements
derogatory to Admiral Winfield S Schley
in connection with the battle of Santiago.
Secretary Long stated that the natter
came up just as he left Washington. and
he was not cognizant of the exact nature Of
the captains alleged statements, but in any
event the rules of the department require
that in such an occasion the matter shall b.,
officially investigated. He said that the
action of the department, after the cap
tain explains. cannot be forecasted, as there
may be no truth whatever in the reports as
to what he said; but if the captains reply
to the departments investigation is a re-
iteration of the previous alleged statements
the case will be carried further, as the rules
designate.
Further than this, Secretary Long de-
elined to commit himself

New Orleans Veterans Don't Want
 Gordon to Go to Chicago

New Orleans, August 16.-The Confeder- ate Association of the Army of Tennessee, which includes large majority of the Confederate Veterans in New Orleans, has protested against General J. B. Gordon. commanding the United Confederate Vet erans, attending the Grand Army of the Republic encampment at Chicago.
 As to the proposition that the Confeder ate Veterans issue a circular replying to General Shaw's recent remarks at Atlanta, General Chalaron, president of the associ- ation, insisted that Shaw's remarks should be treated with contempt, but contended that General Gordon should be censured for taking part in such meetings and for having accepted an invitation to attend d similar meeting to take place.
 Many speakers were heard pro and con. and finally General Chalaron offered the following resolution, which was unani- mously adopted:
 Tn view of the recent occurrence at At lanta, and the utterances there of the commander of the Grand Army of the Re- public, this association deprecates and ob- jects to all so-called reunions of the blue and gray, and protests against General John B. Gordon accepting ar invitation to be present at the reunion the Grand Army of the Republic is his capacity of commander of the United Confederate Veterans"

4 CABLEGRAM FROM HONG KONG
 SAYS PEKIN HAS BEEN CAPTURED

London, Aug. IT, 3:45 a. m.-A cablegram to Vienna from Hong Kong announces the capture of Pekin, but the Austrian govern ment, like other European powers, Is still without confirmation of this report. An official telegram dated Taku, August II. has been received at Rome, which asserts that the attack on Pekin began Monday; that Sir Claude Macdonald, the British minister had opened communication with the relieving force, and that the allies have established their headquarters at Tung Chaw.
 Chinese officials in Shanghai are reported admitting that the allies inflicted a heavy defeat on the Chinese imperial troops around Tung Chow Sunday, and then marched direct to Pekin. This, if true, car-

ries the Japanese official advices announce ing the capture of Tung Chow one step further.
 The Americans, according to dispatch to the Daily Express, from Kobe, have ac- cepted the proposals formulated by Japan for arranging an armistice, dependent upon the immediate delivery of the foreign lega- tions to the allies or t-e granting of per- mission to the allies to enter Pekin and guard the legations Upon these bases, the correspondent says, Japan has already be- gun to negotiate.
 Shanghai dispatches declare that the Chi nese had intended to make a final attack upon the legations last Sunday, but wheth- CT the plan was carried out is not known there.

 The Halt at Iung Chow
 The United States declined even to con slider the proposition of Ii Hung Chang for halt and armistice at Tung Chow. Even the supreme appeal of the venerable Chinese statesman that the Chinese em- pire would be shaken by an advance of the allies beyond Tung Chow was not needed
 This second order, already sent to Gen eral Chaffee, states that if the Chinese au- thorities willing to deliver the lega- tioners ito relief column at Pekin," Gen eral Chaffee is authorized to make and carry out the armistice, in concert with other commanders without waiting the slow process of a reference to Washing ton. Whether this arrangement is to be an armistice, truce or some other device of military science is for him to decide at Pekin.
 The latest dispatch from Minister Con- ger was almost a categorical answer to the inquiries of the State Department.
 That the situation is desperate is shown by his statement that one of the attacks upon the legation occurred the night before the dispatch was sent. In response to the request of the state Department Mr. Con- ger gives the list of that brave little band of American marines who fell in defense of the legation. It is evident that the Min ister is informed of the approach of the allied column as he says nearing allied forces give us hope"
 Conger Is Well Advised
  on the 18th and 14th instant, were sent also in duplicate to Minister Conger, so tkat he is we'll advised by this time of the move ment of the troops and of General Chaf- fees authority to negotiate at the wsnS of Pekin.
 Beyond the important diplomatic ex- changes of the day and the receipt Of the Conger message the chief interest centered in the whereabouts of the allied armies From Japanese sources came the most ad- vanced information, first, in the Tokio ad- vices that Tung Chow had been occupied and later in the day in an official dispatch from the Japanese Foreign Office to Min ister Takahira confirming this report.
 Several had elapsed, however, since this occupation of Tung Chow, and there had been ample time to cover the twelve miles between that place and Pekin.
 Secretary Root was satisfied that Tung Chow had been left behind, and this was one of the reasons why 1t was regarded as futile to consider Lii Hung Chang's prep osition for an armistice at Tung Chow
 A dispatch from Admiral Remey con- veyed the Japanese report of the occupa- tion of Tung Chow and added the state- ment also on Japanese authority that the attack on Pekn was expected to be made yesterday

From informal communications with representa- lives of other governments here, we believe all take substantially same position.
