FROM PEKIN TO THE SEA.
All But the Russian and American Comman-
ders Want 9 Foreign Military stations
(By the Associated Press.)


Pekin, April 6-The meeting of the
allied troops and Count Won Waldersee
this morning was of great interest and
Importance. Though It was known be-
forehand what had been practically de-
cided upon, still the meeting showed con-
clusively the attitude of the different
powers. The only dissentients from the
plan adopted were General Chaffee, the
American commander, and General Wo-
gack, commander of the Russian forces.
who both thought that the number of
troops was too great. The other generals
were unanimous in the opinion that nine
points on the railway should be occupied
between Pekin and Shan Hal Hi, with
six thousand men, exclusive of the two
thousand in Pekin. This will be per-
manent measure, while the reduction of
the present forces will be made accord
ing to the wishes of the respective Gov
ernments. The railway between Pao
Ting Flu and Peidn will not be guarded, it
not being line of communication with
the sea.
General Chaffee suggested that it was
only necessary to occupy two points be-
tween Yang Tsun and Tien Tsin and three
between Tien Tsin and Shan Hal Kwan,
with a total of 1000 men. exclusive of
those at Pekin. 1t was not necessary,
he said, to have soldiers at Tong Ku, as
naval vessels were always there, and also
because the reliefs were always passing
backward and forward
General Wogaek thought 1000 men
would be sufficient for occupying Tien
Tsin and Shan Hal Kwan.
The views of the majority will be pre-
scented to the ministers for immediate ac-
tion as the generals feel that the accept
ance by the Chinese of these terms, in
Guiding the total destruction of the forts
at Shan Hal Kwan. Pei Tang, Taku, Tong
Ku, Pei Tsan and Hang Tsun, will mean
complete submission when arrangements
ought to be made for the withdrawal OF
majority of the forces from China.

student. Professor Hoyey says there
is no danger of spread if it is the
bubonic plague"

trustworthy source that Russia's diplo-

The text Of the identical note as it ap-

"That in the present circumstances, a
special agreement in the Manchuria af-
fair instead of being an open testimonial
of friendly sentiments on the part of
Russia towards China might entail vari-
Gus difficulties for the neighboring State.
Russia does not in any way insist upon
the conclusion of any such agreement,

gotiations in this matter. Inasmuch as
the Imperial Government ever adheres
faithfully to it's original and oft-repeated
programme it will quietly await the furth-
