New York. Jan. 31.---A special to the
Herald from Washington says: While
vigorously opposing the execution Of
Prince ,Ti,;;.siIs and Gen En- Hsiang, Mr.
eConger. With the approval of the United
States. has agreed to the decapitation Of
the ringleaders in the outrages Of last
summer Two of these are Prince
Chwang, a deputy commissioner in chief
of the boxers, and Yu Hsien, who was
removed by the empress dowager from
the post of governor of Shansi 1t is
understood that before agreeing 10 the
execution Of the four officials the au
thorities ascertained that the Chinese
government would be able to comply
with such demand The case of Gen.
Tung Flu Hsiang Is different. Sur
rounded by an army devoted to him, he
would resist an attempt to execute him,
and civil war would be precipitated.
The strong position of Prince Tuan also
makes decapitation impossible in his
case. Mr.. Conger has cabled stating
that he was strongly opposing the exc
cution of the Chinese general and other
leaders whom the Chinese government
could not reach. In acquiescing in the
execution of the minor officials the
United Statea yields to the wishes OF
Great Britain and Germany, with whom
Russia and Japan had agreed. The
United States was alone in opposition,
and it was deemed important. in order
to obtain concessions in the future, to
acquieace in this matter.

geous military pageant. Detachments
