GEN. WILSON CALLED HOME.
Wan Wen sheO, Imperial Treasurer of China
dead
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press)
Washington, ID. c., Oct. 30-Orders
have been sent to Pekin detaching Gener-
al James X. Wilson from duty as chief
of staff under General ChafTee and di-
recting him to return to the United
States. 1t had been the purpose of the
Government to make General Wilson a
member of the projected American COM
mission to treat with the Chinese Gov
ernment for a settlement, but the aban-
donment of that plan in favor of direct
negotiations through Minister Conger
made is unnecessary to retain Geenral
Wilson in China.
The Japanese legation received dis
patch today announcing the death of
Wang Wen Sheo, Imperial Treasurer of
China, in addition to those high officials
whose deaths already have been an
nounced. Wang Wen Sheo was one of
the most loyal adherents of the Imperial
family, and when they took flight from
Pekin, he insisted upon following. despite
his advanced age. His death came from
natural causes, probably from old age and
the fatigues of the flight.
A dispatch received from General Chat
fee at the War Department today says:
Later Hutchinson, no American at Ching
Ting Fu.'
This is in reply to an enquiry sent by
the War Department asking information
about Americans who were supposed to
have been located at that place.
