T.e capture of Yang Tsun on the

OUR LAST DEMANDS
eve are availing ourselves of the
opportunity ffered by the imperial
edict of the 5 of August allowing
to the foreign ministers free com
munication with respective govern
ments in cipher. and have sent CON-
munication to Minister Copger, to
which We await an answer
we are already advised by him,
in brief dispatch received Aug I,
that imperial troops ere firing daily
; upon the ministers in Pekin We de
mand the immediate cessatioa Of
hostile attacks by imperial troops
upon the legations and al foreigners
therein
eve are alec advised by the same
dispatch from TIE minister Conger
that N his opinion for the foreign
ministers to leave Pekin as proposed
in the ediet of Aug ,, would be
certain death. In view Of the fact
that the imperial troops are now firing
upon the legations and in view Of the
doubt expressed By the imperial gov
ernmens III its edict of Aug 9 to its
power to restore order and secure
absolute eafe.y in Pekln, it is evident
that this apprehension is well found.
ed, for if your government cannot
protect our ministc! in Prkin, it will
presumptively be unable to protect
him upon journey from Pekln to the
coast
eve therefore urge upon the lm-
perial government that it ehall adopt
the course suggested in the third
clause of the letter of the president
TO his majesty. the emperor of China,
of July %, 1900, and enter into com
munlcation with the relief expedition
so that cooperation mag be secured be
tween them and that liberation of the
legations, the protection of foreigners
and the restoration of order
may be accomplished Such ac
ton on the part of the imperial
government would be satisfactory
demonstration of It's friendliness and
desire to attain these ends

The Amerlcans Suffer Serl-
ous Lcss.-.Casualties Of so.

Washington, Aug 9-Ihe capture
of Yang Tsun, the final objective
point of the international forces, was
the supreme news Of importance
received todary On tie Chinese situa
ton. The first word of this capture,
effected last Monday, came in brief
dispatch TO the signal Office at the
war department from Col Scriven, the
signal officer at Chefoo, saying
Cbefoo, Aug 9.

Half an hour after this message q
cablegram came from Gen Chafee,
giving additional details of the cap
ture aud showing that it had been at
the cost of about 90 casualties among
the American troops Gen Chafee's
dispatch is as follows:

A JAPANESE REPORT.
Hardly less importan: was a dis
patch from Gen Terauchi, second in
command on the japanese staff, sent
to the war Office of Japan. and trans
mitted to the legation here. stating
that the international army would
total $4,000 men on Aug Is. at
which time the real advance on Pekin
would begin. Gen Terauchi's dis
patch stated that on the 4th, when it
was forwarded. the advance had not
yet begun This was at first incom-
prehensibie, in view Of the fact that
fighting has actually occurred But
the later statement that the interna
tional force would total $4,000 on
the 18th appears to make clear Gen
Terauchi's meaning and to reconcile
it with Gen Chaffee's dispatches
The present movement OF some Is,
900 men doubtless is viewed in the
light of a reconnaissance in force,
the main movement of the army Of
$4,000 to follow on the 18th This
makes clear the meaning of Gen
Chaffee's dispatch that Yang Tsun
was the objective point The war
department here has been considera
bly, puzzled over this statemet of an
objective point. far short of Pekin
1t would appear, however. from Gen
Terauchl S dispatch that the first
force OF 10000 men having opened
up communications to Yang Tsnn,
brought forward supplies and es,sb
lished this advance base. the way
would then be clear for the advance
of the larger force on the 18th. The
capture of Yang Tsun is therefore an
important strstegic branch of the fast
maturing military plans. The place
is about l8 miles beyond Tien Tsin

opinion is that the landing of troops
here at the present moment would be a
grave mistake. .
