NEW YORK Apg. 21.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
News with reference to Pekin contin-
ues both scanty and contradictory.
There Is still confusion as to the pre-
else date Of the allied forces entry.
whether II happened on the 18th or the
18th. What is more imnlrtant for prac-
tical purposes. the uncertainty continues
to prevail as to the proceedings of the
empress dowager. The Chinese minis
tor here states that he has received a
telegram from Pekin. which shows that
the empress together with the emperor
left the capital some days before the
arrival of the allied forces. No official
news, however. has reached the Chin
ese legation here since .he receipt of
the telegram from Pexin announcing
the entry of the foreign troops on the
18th. Rerlin. like London and Wash
ipgtOn, is supplied with both versions
Of the imperial movements. while a dis
patch has been received from Ii Hung
Chang announcing that the court has
gone westward.
The German consul of Che Foo tel
egraphs that the bombardment of the
palace Is still going on and that the
empress is believed to he within the
walls of the Forbidden City.
With regard to the suggested peace
negotiations. nothing is at present de-
cided at the foreign office. Ii Hung
Chang's application to Washington has
not vet been officially communicated
TO Downing street. which has only just
despatched 20 the British consul at

initiated till the legation stats and
other foreigners are safely delivered at
Tien Tsin without opposition from the
Chinese troops. The opinion of those
qualified to express an opinion Is that
Great Britain would very readily sup

Odessa correspondence of The London News
According To report published by the War
Office, the Russian troops made the discovery of
a regularly formed republic in Manchuria which
has been in existence for upward of half a cen
tCry, but was probably unknown to any of the
European Powers. or, for that matter, to the ma
JOrity of European travellers in the Far East
The Manchurian republic is situated in the basin
of the upper reaches of the River Sungari and
south of Grin. Ii Is known by the name of
Tcha-P'-GOu, and numbered originally ten thou
sand citizens. the population is now about one
hundred Thousand souls. In the beginning the
miniature republic was governed by triumvi-
rate, and subsequently by a President Chan
Yui PaO who took all the executive powers into
his own hands. and organized tribunals trade
guilds, taxes, etc, and regulated native indus
tries and gold mining. A small republican army
was created and has been permanently main
tanned In the battle fought by the Russians in
the valley of the SunSari some two months ago
the republican force offered a more determined
opposition than the Imperial Chinese troOps
The existing President is a relative of the late
Chan Yui PaO named Chai Deu Tu The Chinese
authorities in the province of Grin have since
its foundation always shown friendly tolera-
tion toward the Manchurian republic of Tcha-
Pi-Gou.
