CHINA'S PEACE
PROPOSALS REPULSED

Washington, Aug. 24.-The govern
ment yesterday sent the following in
reply to Ii Hung Chang's appeal for
peace negotiations:
Answer sent to the Chinese minister.
August 22nd.
Memorandum in response to the
Chinese minister's communication of
cablegrams from Viceroy Earl Ii Hung
Chang, dated August 10Th and 2lst,
proposing the imemdiate cessation of
hostllities and the appointment of an
envoy to conduct negotiations, received
al the Department of State August goth
and 21st. 1900. While the condition set
forth in the memorandum delivered to
the Chinese minister August 18th has
not been fulfilled, and the powers have
been compelled to rescue their minis
ters by force of arms, unaided by the
Chinese government. still this govern
ment Is ready 10 welcome any over
lures for truce and invite the other
powers to join when security is estab-
lished in the Chinese capital and the
Chinese government shows its ability
and willingness TO make on its part an
effective suspension of hostilities and
elsewhere in China. When this is done,
and we hope IL will be done promptly,
the United States will be prepared to
appoint a representative to join with
the representatives of other similarly
Interested powers and of the authorita-
tive and responsible government OF the
Chinese empire to attain the ends de
clared in our circular TO the powers OF

BRITISH REPORT OF
CAPTURE OF PEkIN

London, Aug. 23-Generai Gaselee.
the commander of the British forces at
Pekin. has telegraphed TO the war Of
fee as follows:
"Pekin, Aug. II Wednesday,, via
Che Foo. Aug p tTuesday).--At a con
ference August 18th, it was agreed
that the allies should concentrate with
in five miles Of Pekin August 18th,
and the assault should begin August
18th. The attack, however, com
menced early in the morning Of Aug
ust 18th, and our troops had to make
n forced march Of fifteen miles from
Tung Chow In great beat. We Were on
the extreme left and attacked the
southeast gate of the Chinese city.
There was practically no opposition.
as we were not expected at that point.
The Indian troops broke down and
rushed the gate and entered with
cavalry and guns. then sent other
cavalry and the Puujab infantry to
the temple of heaven to secure our left
flank and camping ground, and with
the other corps pushed on toward the
legations. At 3 o'clock we got on the
canal opposite the water gate and
were slgnaled from the wall held by
the legatiOners. |. with a portion of
the stan. and seventy Indians, rushed
across the almost dry moat and en-
tered through the water gate without
loss, We found all well in the lega-
lions. Macdonald immediately showed
me around the positions with view
OF further action.
I'm the meantime our field artillery
had been brought up to lombard the
central gate Of the Tartar city. but
SOrtle by the Americans and Russians
OF the garrison along the wall anttcl-
pated the bomhardment and the gate
fell into our hands.
Two field guns We're then brought
into the legation and the rest were
sent back To the temple of heaven.
"At about In the afternoon the
Americans. under Geucral Chaffee, en-
tered the legation and then we moved
on toward the central gate Of the Tar
tar city for the night.
by niEhtfall we had 100 u'r1 in the
legation"
Here apparently some words are
missinCD
During the evening at the temple of
heaven we were engaged and intiict-
ing heavy losses we occupied the south
gate OF III, Chinese city"

Washington. August Regarding
the attitude Of this government in case
serious differences among the powers

No Nor, TROOPS to Ii. sent to China.

Washington, Aug. 2J-The important
development in the Chinese situation to
day was the decision of the government
not to send any more troops TO China.
All the troops now at sea. amounting TO
about 1000. together with those under
orders for service in the far east which
have not sailed. amounting TO about g.
600 more, will be sent 10 Manila. These
troops will sail on the same route and
upon touching at Nagasaki will go 10
Manila unless there are developments
In China not now expected, which will
make their presence in that country
necessary.
Secretary Root said today that no
more troops were being sent to China
because they were not needed. With
the arrival AZ Taku of the Hancock and
the troops she carried General Chaffee
will have 5000 available men, which Is
deemed sufficient for all present pur-
poses. The decision of the department
was not based upon any recommended
tIon made by General Chaffee. but up
on reports received by him which made
It apparent that no more troops were

Hawaii a Part of the Nation.

rracewell of the treasury holds that
the Hawaiian islands, under the act OF

fore, officers of the navy therein are
serving within the realm of dominion
OF the. United States, and consequently
are not beyond seas" within the mean
ing of section IL of the navy personnel

not entitled to the same pay and allow
