Won WaIdersee's Reply Inclined to

Act According to Circumstances.
Indemnities to Christians 10 BE
Left to the Diplomats.
Pekin, March 5.-Gen. Yin Tching by
order of Ii Hung Chang, wrote to Count
Won Waldersee, making the following re-
quests:
IF it be possible, let there be no more
expeditions.
Give permission to the Chinese troops
70 remain within ten miles of the allies
for the purpose Of preventing Boxers
and robbers.
"Drect the allied troops, while search
ing for and Furnishing robbers and Box
ers' TO ask assistance of the Chinese
officials
Prevent native Christians from MAX
ins extortionate claims which the mis-
sionaries often help to enforce"
To this communication Count Won Wal
dersee sent the following reply:
The headquarters staff of the allied
army cannot enter into an agreement to
undertake no more expeditions, but must
reserve the right to act according to cir
cumstances. If no general conditions,
political or otherwise arise, like the ap-
pcarance of bands of robbers or the be-
havior of the Chinese regular troops, that
would necessitate expeditions, Count
Waldersee is inclined to agree to the re-
quest of III Hung Chang to have no
more expeditions.
THE local authorities will be asked to
ascertain the guilty so far as possible.
'Indemnites to native Christians or
missionaries win be settled in future by
the mutual agreement of the diplomats" ="

CUBA MUST ACCEPT.
WashinEtOn's View of the Situation.
The Cubnns DO Not Like What
Is Ofered Them.

Washington, March 5.-No eredence Is
given here in official circles to the report
from Havana that Gen. Wood has in
formed members of the Cuban constitu-
tlonal convention that the declaration of
Congress as contained in the Cuban
amendment to the army appropriation bill
is merely a basis for further negotiations
as to the relations between the United
States and Cuba and that the rejection
OF the amendment by the convention
would be followed by the reconvening OF
the American Congress in special session.
There is authority for the statement
that such remarks are contrary to the
view held by the principal officers of the
administration.
The expectation in Washington is that
the Cuban convention will accept the con-
ditions jaid down by the American Con-
gress eventually il not in the immediate
future and that the Cuban delegates will
be given to understand that the action of
Congress was final except in the event OF
the development of radical and unlocked
for change in the situation. An official
says the declaration of Congress will
stand until the convention is ready to act
in accordance Herewith. otherwise the ex-
isting military government will continue
in power at beast until December next.
when Congress reassembles In regular
session, and the Cuban question can bc
again taken up for such legislation as
may seem to be necessary.

death. This occurred during January
Later the Count took the matter up,
sending his seconds to Mr.. Durant.
The latter went to Ostend with his
mother, who afterwards left for Glasgow.
A duel was arranged and was probably

Durant, reported killed at Ostend, comes

Albany in December, when. his friends
