COUNT WALDERSEE
Suggested to Command in China.
Subject Will be Taken Up Later.

Subject Will be Taken Up Later.
WASHINGTON, August 9.-The sub
ject of the appointment of Count
Waldersee to command the internal
tional forces in China has been pre-
sented to the United States govern
ment, but no answer has yet been re-
turned Count Waldersee is regarded
by the authorities here as an eminent
soluIer, and it is believed that he will
be satisfactory 1t is stated that his
selection would be for a campaign of
much broader scope than that in which
our forces are engaged, as the present
movement is for the relief of the min
listers in Pekin, and Count Waldersee,
who is now in Germany, cannot pos
sibly reach China until that object has
been accomplished or defeated 1t is
thought by this government that it is
not necessary to Immediately decide
upon a commander for future cam
paign. The matter will be taken up
with President Mckinley when he ar
riVes in Washington next week.

IMPEACHING WITNESSES
Continues to be the Chief Aim of
Both Sides i'm the Powers Case.

GEORGETOWN, KY, August cit
is believed the defense will complete
tomorrow its testimony on behalf of
former Secretary of State Caleb Pow
ers, charged with completely in the
Goebel shooting
In to-day's session OF the Powers
case the business of impeaching and
contradicting witnesses continued. The
prosecution claims to be well satisfied
with the testimony of Surveyor Cool
man, who was introduced by the de-
Tense.
They declare they have proved by
his demonstration that the shot, if
fired from the lower sill of the second
window in the Office of the secretary of
State, would have passed through the
body at identically the same point as
shown by Goebel's wounds. During
the afternoon session the proceedings
were again interrupted by a spat be-
tween Mr.. Owens. of the defense, and
the court.

TROOPS LANDED
By the British to Protect Foreigners
at ShanGhai-No Protest.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The State
Department has received a cablegram
from Consul General Goodnow at
Shanghai, announcing that a consid-
cradle British detachment of troops
had been landed for the protection of
the foreign settlement at Shanghai.
No protest mas been made by the
American Consul General, but ne says
the merchants of Shanghai disapprove
of the action of Admiral Seymour,
fearing it will incite the anti-forelgn
Chinese.
1t is learned at the State Depart
ment that the United States govern
ment will enter no protest to the land
ing of troops, as it comedies the right
of any power to protect its citizens
where they are deemed to be in
danger.

SPLENDID PROGRESS.

The editorials generally incline
to view the progress towards Pekin
as thus far splendid, but one which
cannot be maintained at the pres
emit rapid rate, as the concentra-
tion of supplies and the establish

able delays.
The commissioner of customs at
Shanghai has received a routine
message from Sir Robert Hart,
director general of imperial GUS
toms, showing that the latter is

Piohon, have convinced everybody
except the Washington officials,
that steady application of force
is the only argument Pekin can

SITUATION IS IMPROVED.

Secretary Root regards the situa-
tion both from a military and Dip
lomatic point OF view, as much i'm
proved. The promise OF cipher
communication with the ministers
in Pekin, together with the ad-
vance of the international forces
toward that city, is believed to
have co-relative significance. 1t is
also believed that the resistance by
the Chinese has not been and will
not be as great as anticipated by
some authorities who said that the
Chinese force consisted of the best
of their army. The movement on
Yangtsun is in accordance with in
formation contained in the des-
patch from Gen. Chaffee, which
was not made public, and also in
despatch which was made public
after Peitsang had been taken. Il
is the expectation of the officials of
the War Department that thespres-
ent reconnaissance in force will
continue. although nothing is said
as coming from Gen. Chaffee to
that effect.

LIFE IN THE TROPICS.

Advice to Those Who Contemplate Do
Ing to the Philippines.
American women who contemplate
going to the Philippines need have no
fear in regard to health If they care
fully consider the situation. its re-
Quirements in the matter of food and
clothing. and the house one is to live
in. 1t Is foolish to take much furni-
ture. as 1t would be useless to attempt
to furnish house in the tropics sim
liar to one here. Furniture absorbs
heat, and the less OF 1t there is
around. the better. Carpets are not
wanted. either. unless one wishes to
start moth farm" Much ornamen-
tation about the walls is Questionable
for the same reason as furniture, and
leather articles. lace curtains. photo
graphs and paintings rot from the
dampness. and may as well be left at
home. Polished wood, mating and
marble should furnish the tropical
home as much as possible. They have
a curious yet effective way Of build
ing house in the tropics. The house
is built, then about three yards over
and around it is built shell, or outer
wall. This prevents the sun and rain
from getting at the walls Of the house
proper, and allows a place for the
cooling draughts to circulate. A bath
room in the house for frequent baths
is an absolute necessity. In the mat
ter Of food. alcohol and meat should
be taken as little as possible. Co1ee.
too, is bad, because 1t has too great
ofport thn a..
tables are eaten little, being replaced
generally by rice. Preserved butter,
condensed milk, canned vegetables.
native fruits, chicken and fish are the
chief articles of diet. Curiously
enough, the natives eat young, lean
pork without its seeming to hurt them
any. Children under six thrive better
in the tropics than they do at home,
and need little looking after and little
clothing. In fact, the less clothing for
any one, the better. Duck, linen and
silk are the best materials, and fan
mel bands for the stomach are OF the
greatest Importance. White is tho
best color for clothing, and the ever
popular shirt waist and separate skirt
seem to be as great favorites in the
east as they are here. AS the sun
is the great foe of white folk in the
tropics, it Is Of the highest import
ance that every one should wear a sun
hat. Children especially should never
go out without one. Next in import
ance to diet IL the matter Of exercise.
1t II wrong to imagine that 1t is inn
possible to work in the tropics. Walk
ing, tennis and good physical labor
should be INDUCED in. Without them
the white man in the tropics would
be reduced to low physical and mem
tai condition that is far from desirable.

CAPruREp RoER GUNS.

London, June S.-Little or no
information was forthcoming
yesterday from the seat of war
IN South Africa beyond lists of
casualties. Other than this the
war office had no intelligence for
publication. The breakdown OF
two out of the three cables which
connect Great Britain and South
Africa, and the fact that the re-
naming wire was largely mOnOp-
Clized by government messages,
probably accounts for the dearth
of news. However, the Daily
Telegraph received a cablegram
from Bennett Burleigh, OF which
the following is as accurate
transcription as possible in view
of the mutilation to which the
message has evidently been suh-
iected. 1t appears that the point
of the message is that the British
captured some, if not all, of the
Boer guns and a number of the
officers and men. The message
follows:
