WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.-Now that
the excitement and suspense in Wash
ington official circles is ended by the
capture of Pekin, speculation is rife as
to the action of the powers in regard to
China's FIXTURE. j. i, 5.5,
A cabinet official said that unques.
tionably the native Christians in China,
said to number several thousand, would
be included in any arrangement made
between this governmentand China in
cident to the cessation of hostiities.,
At the present stage Of the situation
this subject has not yet been seriously
discussed by the cabinet, but there is
no doubt, according to this member,
that the United States is in honor
bound to protect them and will sacredly
look out for their security.
"What will be done with them?' he
was asked.
"That has not been decided, but rest
assured that in their disposition the
Honor Of the United States
will be fully preserved. It may be ar
ranged for them to go to the Philip
pines, or one of many other places that
ore available may be adopted"
1t was also stated that while the mat.
ter has not been formally considered,
the indemnity to be collected by the
United States will not be for the fam.
flies of the victims, but also probably
to compensate this government for the
expense it has been put to in prosecut-
ing the campaign.
ut has not been a heavy expense,
