MAY Be SERIOUS
BURNING or WINTER PALACE AT.
PEKING MORE GRAVE THAN
WOULD APPEAR.
WILL RETARD NEGOTIATIONS

Military Occupation Of the imperial
Palaces the Moving Cause for Re-
jectlng overtures for the Emperor's
Return 20 the Capital Destruction
Of the Building Makes a Better Ex-
cuse Than Ever.
Washington, April 19.The secre-
tary Of state has received a cable mes
sage from Mr.. Squires, United States
charge at Peking, saying that the
winter palace occupied by Won Wal
dersea accidentally destroyed by fire.
General Schwartzkopf, chief of staff,
fatally burned"
This incident may prove more Sc
Fious than appears on the surface.
It is known from diplomatic communi-
cations received in Washington that
intense feeling has been aroused
among the Chinese over the occupa
ton of the empress dowager's palace
by Count Won Waldersee and his mil
itary staff. This was graphically set
forth in letter recently received
here from one of the foremost officials
at Picking. He described in detail the
manner in which the palace had been
turned over to military uses and com
mented upon the indignity which 1t
involved to the Chinese people and to
the imperial family. Moreover, it is
known that this military occupation OF
the imperial palaces was the moving
cause for the rejection Of all over
lures for the return Of the imperial
family to Picking. From the Chinese
standpoint it was impossible to even
consider the return Of the imperial
family so long as the commander-in-
chief Of the allied forces was in actual
occupation of the empress palace.
Now that the palace is entirely de-
stroyed it may have a bearing on the
return of the imperial family. While
there is no longer the objection that
the palace is occupied BY the foreign
commander, yet new objection is
created in the removal of the palace
itself, for, under Chinese usage, the
imperial family must occupy those
exclusive quarters reserved for them
within the prohibited precincts.
