Galyeston.s Death List.

Galveston. Sept. 25.-The Galveston
News list of dead from the storm of
Sept. 8 represents a total of 1850
names. The indications are that not
more than 1000 people will be actually
accounted for. The News has made a
diligent effort to get as complete list
of the dead as possible. 1t is reason
able to assume that 500 or 1000 people
were lost whose names are not obtain
able. which would make the total
death list on Galveston island about
5000. The News is of the opinion that
the death list OH the island is slightly
below. rather than above. 5000. This
statement is made Notwithstanding
the fact that there are close observers
at Galveston who are still estimating
the death list on the island as high as
1000.

drawn from Peking 1--WE shall give in
structions to the commander of the
American forces in China to withdraw
our forces from Peking, after due con-
ference with the other commanders
as to the time and manner of with
drawal." That time has now come
and Yesterdays action marks the be-
ginning of the disappearance of the
American army from China for al
though some military force is to re.
main, it will not be of the character
Of an army. but under the conditions
laid down in the order to General
Chatfee. and especially under its Off
cial designation as ''legation guard, ;"
will be rather of the nature of civil
guard. This small force will not be
included in any military operations
which may be conducted by the allied
armies and so will not fall subject to
the direction of Field Marshal Count
Won Waldersee, the comma.lder-in-
chief.
Much thought has been given to the
proper number of troops to be allotted
for this purpose, and it is believed that
the 1.4O0 men selected will be quite
sufficient to protect the American lega-
tion against any force that could be
brought against it. 1t is estimated
about week will be required to bring

diately it will at least be the end of

FINALE OF THE BOER WAR

Lourenzo Marquee Correspondent Says
Strife is Completely Ended.
London, Sept 26-"The war is COM
pletely ended" says the Lourenzo Mar
quez correspondent of the Daily Tele-
graph.
MANY guns have been destroyed and
hundreds of wagons and thousands of
tons of stores of every kind have been
burned. Wreckage of every kind lies
in every direction in the Hector
spruit region.
"a good police force of 10000 men
can effect the complete pacitication of
the country. 1t will be impossible for
the Beers in the future to mass a
force exceeding 1900. They are sick
of the war and the Irish. American
and other mercenaries are clamoring
for payment and threatening the Boer
officials"

REPLIES TO POWERS.
Attitude of the United States is Now .
Waiting One.


Washington, Sept. 24.-With the
three pending diplomatic notes bear
ing on the Chinese situation disposed
of by answers to the respective pow
ers,i the attitude of the United States
is now a waiting one.
Germany's proposition to demand the
delivery of the Chinese ringleaders in
the recent riotous demonstrations is
automatically declined.
Russia's inquiries as to the course
which this government will pursue
relative to the withdrawal of troops
answered in a way which indicates
that, while America is determined to
proceed along lines which are entirely
independent, those lines will, in a
measure, be in accord with what Rus
sia proposed in it's recent circular note
to tifr powers.
Prince Ching is told that he and Lii
Hung Chang are recognized as medi-
ators in the preliminary peace nego-
tiations.
Companion to these notes, in signiti-
cance, is the formal announcement
from Secretary Long that our naval
forces in both Chinese and Philippine
waters will be Immediately strength
ened
Now that the notes are acted upon.
the question Of the commission to ne
gotiate peace is again revived. Among
others whose name was suggested
last night as one of the commissioners
was Judge William r. Day of Canton,
the former secretary Of state.

effective counterpoise to Russo French
Vaccinations and the weakened pol
icy of America
| Meanwhile the news from China in
dicates that events are rapidly drift
ing in the direction of war between
China and Germany.
, '''There is the best reason for believ-
ing says the Shanghai correspond
ent of the Morning Post, that Count
Won Waldersee, on arriving at Taku,
will present an ultimatum demanding
the surrender of five leaders of the
anti-foreign uprising. After few
hours grace, he will formally declare
war, and taking advantage of Ger
many's position as belligerent he will
proceed to seize everything available
with the German forces and fleet.
'It is expected that Germany will
/, take the WI Sung forts and the Khan
gan arsenal, thus dominating Shang-
hal. 1t is also believed that she will
attack the Kiang Win forts on the
Yang Use from the land side and en-
deavor to seize the Chinese feet, in
Guiding the valuable new cruisers
Failing this. she will at least occupy
the province of Kiang Su north of the
Yang tse Kiang. The French will sup
port Germany.

firmed at the foreign office. Prompt

Russia has handed over the Taku-
Peking railway to Germany"
i The Shanghai correspondent of the
Standard, telegraphing Monday, says:
I"Chinese officials report that Prince
Tuan has issued secret edict in the
name of the empress dowager to the
effect that the imperial court has de
cided to continue the war against the
powers at whatever cost. The edict
threatens that any official failing to
support the Manchus will be be-
headed as a traitor, his whole family
cestors demolished"
Prince Tuan's ascendancy creates n
very great danger. The only hope for
foreigners is that the pro-foreign vice
roy of Nankin has not vet been re
moved. Tuah's emissaries are working
hard to get him out of the way by
murder and suicide.
According to various accounts of the
Pei Tung affair." the Chinese had an
ticipated that the allies would attack
in force. The Britishers and others
who left Tien Tsin with the inten-
tion of cutting off the retreat of the
Pei Tang garrison arrived too late.
They We're only half way to their des-
tination when the forts were captured.
