WILL DESTROY FORTS.
Omission of Provision from Protocol
 Will Not Be Regarded.

Pekin. Aug. 2e.-The omission from the peace settlement protocol of pro- vision for the destruction of the Chi nese forts was due chiefly to Lii Hung Chang's protest. He represented that 1t would be a great disgrace to himself who had built the forts. to sign an agreement for their destruction. More over. he might be punished therefor. The omission in no wise affects their destruction. which will be carried out on the ground of military necessity. The clerical work of preparing copies of the protocol is likely to delay the signing for a few days.
