/ Nay PROVE SERIOUS
Burning ofthe Chinese Empress
Palace at Pekin a Ser.
ious Incident.
It's Occupation by waldersee
Aroused Bitter Feeling Am.
on1 the Chinese.
Return Of the Imperial Probably
Indefinitely Delayed by
the Affair.


Washington, April 1s.-The secretary
OF state received cable this morning
from squires, United States charge at
Pekin, saying:
..The winter palace, occupied by Won
waldersee, was accidentally DESTROYED
by fire and Gen. schwartzhoff, chief Of
staff, fatally burned"
This incident may prove more serious
than appears on the surface. 1t IS
known from diplomatic communications
received in Washington that intense
feeling has been reused among the Chi
nese over the occupation of the empress
dowager's palace by Count Won Wal
dersee and staff. This is graphically
set forth in letter recently received
here from one of the foremost officials
at Pekin He described In detail the
manner In which the palace had been
turned over to military uses and COM
mented upon the indlgnity which 1t in
volved 10 the Chinese people and imper-
ial family Moreover. il is known this
military occupation OF the imperial pal
ace was the moving cause for the rejec-
tion of all overtures for the return of
the imperial family to Pekin. From a
Chinese standpoint it is impossible even
TO consider the return of the Imperial
family so long as the commander in
chief of the allied forces is in actual
occupation OF the empress palace.
Now that palace is destroyed 1t may
have a bearing on the return of the Inn
perial family While there is no longer
the objection that the palace is soccupied
by the foreign commander. yet q new
objection is created In the removal OF
the palace itself, for under Chinese
usage the imperial family mus; occupy
those exclusive quarters reserved for
them within the prohibited precincts.

Correspondence Associated Press.
Yokohama, March 30. via San Francis
GO. April is. Whether the feverish ac-
livity at the arsena!s and navy yards or
the unanimous voice of the native press
are corroborative of the reports that a
decided stand is being resolved upon by
the government are taken into consid-
Grafton there remains little or no doubt
that Japan has made up its mind to face
Russia alone If necessary.
There is no installing the patriotic
fervor of the people. as IL surpasses in
intensity all that exhibited at the out
break of the Chinese war in 1894 and a
dissenting voice IS nowhere heard thru
out the length ard breadth of the land.
Even the most conservative and mod
crate journals are pronounced in their
advocacy of the firmest kind of stand
on the part of the government. AS out
ward evidence of the feverish activity
every vessel In Japan's immense fleet is
in commission and in state of perfect
preparation. The standing squadron is
maneuvering in the vicinity of the Ko-
1ean coast. The time of relieving the
Korean garrisons has been shortened
and the main battalion was dispatched
thither with three staff officers. The ar
senals are working night ard day and
the hospital ships are being reftted with
all possible dispatch.
The most intense interest is mani
tested in all reports which may furnish,
clue to the possible attitude of En-
gland and America in the event of the
struggle and the opinion of representa-
tive Englishmen and Americans here is
that popular sentiment in those coun-
tries will find 1t hard to resist the sight
Of Japan putting itself alone into the
field against Its colossal neighbor.
