PEkIN ENCOURAGED
BY Capture Of the Hu-kow Forts and
Retreat of Southern Troops.


Pekia, July 27.-The capture of the
Hu-Kow forts by joint land and ma
val attack, Friday night. is regarded as
the most important news which reach
ed Pekin, today, from the seat OF the
rebellion in the South. In the capture
of the forts, the rebels lost their hold
on the YangTse river IN Kiang-Si

for the Northerners to Marking where
the forts held by the rebels prevent

important Changes in Nicaraguan
Treaty. - -


Washington. July o7.-Important
notifications are TO be made in tn.
proposed treaty with Nicaragua by
which the United States would es-
tablish a protectorate over the South
ern republic. 1t has been discovered
that by the terms of the agreement
originally outlined by Sec. Bryan, Me
aragua would have been prevented
from ever joining with other repub-
lies to form a single central Ameri-
can union. (NfaaR
This was not contemplated by. the
administration when the treaty was
proposed; and the suggestion has
created suspicion among other Cen
trail American countries. At a con-
ference, Saturday, between Bryan and
tons committee, it was agreed that
the original draft of the treaty should
be changed and definite statements. he
included in the compact, providing
that 1t should not stand in the way of
any future action of Nicaragua might
decide to take. toward joining a Cen
trail American combination.
Secretary Bryan assured the COM
mittee, Saturday. that the government
was making no direct proposals to
other Central American countries fol
similar treaties. The Nicaraguan sit
uation was peculiar, he said, because
that country proposed the negotia
tons and asked for the establishment
Of the American protectorate. In the
case of other countries, the United
States is holding itself OPEN t
treat with Them If the suggestion
comes from their governments.
