American Policy Unchanged
by the Reports From
Chinese Sources.
WILL ACT WITH POWERS
Department Officials Are Preparing
to Execute the Plans Outlined by
President McKinley In His Reply
to the Chinese Emperor—Oregon Is
Docked at Kure.
Washington, July 27. Secretary
Hay signalized his return to Washing
ton from Canton by the announcement
that under no circumstances will the
United States government accept the
Chinese offer to turn over the foreign
ministers to the internationals at Tien
Tsin in consideration of the suspension
of the campaign against Peking. A
long cablegram was sent to Rear Admi
ral Remey at Taku.
The state department chaims to be
pursuing an entirely consistent course in
this decision. The officials point out
that all of the bitter criticism in the
European papers directed against the
United States policy is based on a total
misunderstanding of the fundamental
principles which have governed the ac
tions of the department. At no time,
it is said, has the state department al
lowed the belief that the foreign min
isters at Poking were alive to interfere
in the slightest degree with the military
plans for reaching Peking. On the con
trary, the news that the ministers were
alive was accepted by the state depart
ment not as convoying absolute verity,
but as an additional reason for hasten
ing the relief column forward to Poking.
It was the department’s contention
that even though a degree of improba
bility surrounded the Chinese nows as
to the state of affairs in Peking, yet
every consideration of humanity and
policy demanded that it should bo given
careful consideration and that it should
be acted upon as if true, provided that
action went toward the reliof of the for
eign ministers and did not operate to
prevent the consummation of any of the
objects laid down in Secretary Hay’s
identical note. The department is abso
lutely satisfied that its attitude was per
fectly correct and that even European
critics will, in time, admit that fact.
Secretary Hay’s decision to decline
the latest Chinese proposition was based
upon his determination to adhere strictly
to the conditions laid down in the reply
to the Chinese emperor’s appeal. The
state department required that the min
isters to Peking be put in communica
tion with their governments and the
most significant condition of all that
the Chinese authorities co-operato with
the relief expedition for the liberation
of the ministers. Until these things
are done, the state department abso
lutely refuses to be led into any arrange
ment looking to the mitigation of the
punishment of the Chinese government,
such as the abandonment of the expedi
tion to Peking.
A special cabinet meeting was held in
Secretary Hay’s office at 11 o’clock, the
usual hour. The secretary of state,
fresh from his personal intercourse with
the president, was In position to advise
his colleagues of the administration’s
purpose and the whole Chinese situation
was discussed. Besides Secretary Hay
there were present Secretary Gage,
Postmaster General Smith and Secre
tary Root.
When the cabinet conference ad
journed it was stated that no further
definite plans concerning the action of
this government had been prepared.
Secretary Hay laid before the members
the latest information he had received,
including a dispatch from Consul Gen
eral Goodnow at Shanghai.
The government has received infor
mation presumably from Admiral Ro
mey that the number of allied troQps at
Tson Tsin is 28,000. The movement of
the troops from Tien Tsin to Peking,
Secretary Root said, would depend on
tho arrival and mobilization of troops.
All tho United States troops that
could possibly bo spared havo boon or
dered to China. There was no official
advices from anv Chinese source over
night, except a snort message from tho
signal service officer at Nagasaki an
nouncing that all was well with tho
troops.
Hold For Killing His Father.
New York, July 27.—Patrick Logan,
23 years old, has been arrested in Brook
lyn, charged with the murder of his
father, Edward. Tho dead man was
etruck behind the ear during a fight and
died shortly afterward. When the son
was arrested his mother was taken to
the hospital in an unconscious stupor.
After she came to her senses she said
her son had killed his father while de
fending her from her husband.

DEPARTURE OF THE
FOREIGNERS REPORTED
Chinese State The Ministers
Are Enroute to Tien Tsin.
MINISTER WU IS ELATED.
Hopes to Hear of Their Safe Arrival at
Any Time—London Regards the Re
port as Part of a Deep Laid Plan to
Hide the Date of the Massacre.
Boston, July 27. Tho American
board of commissioners for tho foreign
missions today received a cablegram
from Rev. Henry B. Porter, a mission
ary of the board, dated Oho Foo, July
23, containing the words:
“Peking alive.”
Mr. Porter, who was stationed at
Pang Ohung, province of Shan Tnng,
North China, escaped to Che Foo after
the Boxer uprising.
The cablegram contained only two
words, “Peking alive,” no intimation
being given as to the evidence on which
the conviction has apparently prevailed
at Che Foo was based.
London, July 27.—This morning’s re
ports from Shanghai reiterate tho alle
gation that tho surviving members of
tho diplomatic corps have already loft
Peking on their way to Tien Tsin and
added that tho foreigners are being es
corted by troops of Jung Lu, com
mander-in-chief of the Chinese forces.
This move is stated to be tho outcome
of very stormy interviews between Li
Hung Chang and the foreign consuls
and to have been taken in the hope of
abating the wrath of the powers and de
laying the advance of the allies toward
Peking.
A dispatch received from the same
source states that half tho foreigners in
Peking have been killed or wounded or
have died from the privations they have
undergone.
Simultaneously comes a cable dispatch
from Shanghai announcing that a letter
has been received from Sir Claude Mac-
Donald, tho British minister to China,
under date of Peking, July 6, saying tho
legations were under constant fire and
that three were still standing, but that
the foreigners were receiving no assist
ance from tho authorities. Owing to
tho cowardice of tho Chinese, when Sir
Claude wrote it was hoped the legation
ers would be able to hold out for a fort
night, but if they were pressed their re
sistance could not last more than four
days at the utmost.
Sir Claude concludes by advising tho
relief force to approach by the eastern
gate or byway of the river.
The losses of the fore, iners in Peking
up to July 6 were 4u killed and 80
wounded.
The Belgian foreign officers have re
ceived a dispatch from Shanghai men
tioning the receipt of aTetter from Sir
Claude MacDonald dated July 4, in
which it was stated tMht the besieged
foreigners in Peking were reduced to
horse flesh. Tno Belgian consul at
Shanghai reports that a servant of the
German minister who left Peking July 9,
states that the British legation was only
attacked at night and if re-supplied he
believed could hold out.
Tho alleged departure of tho minis
ters from Peking has led to the reasser
tion of the belief that the story if part
of a deep laid plan by China to conceal
the date of the massacre at Peking, the
suggestion being that Chinese officials
will claim that the ministers left Peking
under a strong escort, but were am
bushed and massacreed by Boxers en
route to Tien Tsin. However, although
it is still believed a massacre has oc
curred of the foreign colony at Peking,
the disposition ndw is to think the min
isters were somehow rescued from a
tragic fate.
Minister Wu Elated.
Washington, July 27.—Minister Wu
was elated when informed that the sur
viving members of the diplomatic corps
wore being conducted to Tien Tsin by
tho troops of Jung Hu, commander in
chief of the Chinese forces. Ho said
that he would not bo surprised to hear
at any time of their arrival at Tien Tsin,
Minister Wu said he had received no
nows from China in the last 24 hours.
Chinese Leaving Shanghai.
Minneapolis, July 27.—Charles Good
now has just received a letter from his
brother, Consul Crenoral Goodnew, at
Shanghai, in which the latter estimates
that the conditions are even worse than
has boon indicated in his official cable
grams. He writes:
“Chinese are leaving this city at the
rate of 2,000 or 3,000 a day. The pur
purpose of their going or their destina
tion is not known.”
While he does not say so, Mr. Good
now evidently believes that they are
being mobilized somewhere.
Ching’s Forces Defeated.
Berlin, July 27.—A dispatch received
here today, dated Tien Tsin Tuesday,
July 24, says: “A messenger who left
Peking Saturday, July" .15, brought- to
tho customs officers hero nows that
Prince Ching’s forces had Been fighting
Prince Tung’s trOops and had been de
feated. Tho foreigners wore defending’
themselves in the northern Cathedral,
near tho Forbidden City.”

THE REBELLION IS
BROUGHT TO AN END
Treaty of Peace Between In
surgents and Government.
SURRENDER 1$ COMPLETE
It Came After 11 Hours of tho Fiercest
Fighting In the History of Colombia.
Hundreds Killed and Wounded.
Bodies Cremated.
Panama, July 27.—A treaty of peace
between the government and the revo
lutionists has been signed.
This action followed directly after the
most desperate battle of tho entire revo
lution in which the losses on each side
were very heavy. Owing, it is believed,
to some misunderstanding of the terms
of the armistice brought about by the
American, English and French consuls,
tho insurgents suddenly renewed thoir
attacks on the suburbs of Panama. Tho
fighting lasted 11 hours with tho excep
tion of only a few minutes interval, and
was very heavy from start to finish.
The rebel troops made charges upon
tho trenches of tho government forces,
pushing forward with remarkable
bravery and with a recklessness ap
proaching closely to madness.
Every assault was repulsod with a ter
rible loss of life, but the rebels were un
daunted, and with extraordinary cour
age and renewed vigor repeated tho at
tacks again and again. These desperate
were kept up all night long and
were mot with equally brave resistance
by the regulars. In ono of tho intrench
ments defended by a detachment com
posed almost entirely of young men from
this city nearly every one of tho defend
ers was killed or wounded. It was 6
o’clock Thursday morning when the
revolutionists were finally compelled
to give up the attacks and forced to re
treat to the positions they held when
the armistice was declared. The tide of
battle was turned against thorn by tho
arrival of 800 fresh troops to reinforce
the government. Those gave the regu
lars the advantage and tho rebels retired
after 11 hours of such fierce fighting as
the isthmus never saw before.
How many were killed will never bo
known, but will roach into tho hundreds.
Cartload after cartload of corpse were
gathered up and cremated.
Dr. Carlos Hendoza, secretary general
of the revolutionary government went
to the old station of the Panama railroad
under a flag of truce at noon.
He conferred with General Alban,
governor of Panama and discussed with
im terms of a treaty of peace between
tho hostile forces.
After a long conference a treaty was
drawn up and signed by General Alban
on behqlf of the governor and Dr. Hen
doza and Polizario Perras as representa
tives of the revolutionists,’ Under the
terms of this treaty tho surrender of tho
insurgents is.complete. . They |agree to
deliver up aH arms, amunition and
ships in their possession. The govern
ment grants full amnesty to all the
revolutionalists and the officers aro per
mitted to retain their swordfr Those
who hav.e. fought with insurgent ranks
ore - to bo allowed to return to their
homos.
.Senator Jones In Nw York.
New York, July 27. —Senator James
K. Jones, chairman of the national Dem
ocratic committee, hgs reached the city
from Washington. He said that no na
tional headquarters would be established
in this city at present; that -the state
Democratic committee would manage
tho campaign in New, York state until
such time as it might bo deemed neces
sary to est&blish national headquarters.
Brown Ore Land Purchases.
Birmingham, Ala., July 27.—1 tis
given out that the Sloss-Shoffiold Steel
and Iron company has purchased the
immense brown ore properties of Adler
Bros., in the Russellville district. The
purchase price paid Is said to have been
$3’50,000.
AGED NEGRO WOMAN KILLED.
She Is Shot to Death by Mob —Order
Restored.
New Orleans, July 27.—The situa
tion hero is much quieter and it is now
believed that, except for some isolated
disorders, the authorities have the law
less forces well in hand. The night
passed with comparative absence from
violence, except for tho atrocious mur
der of Hannah Mabry, an old negress,
at hor homo at 1929 Rousseau street. A
mob went to hor house at 1 o’clock, os
tensibly to catch a couple of desperate
negroes who were said to reside there.
In tho house were Hannah, her 62-year
old husband, a son and an infant child.
The woman and her husband were
sleeping together. Tho mob broke into
the house and shot the woman so that
she died on her way to the hospital. Hor
son claims that ho recognized two of the
murderers and gave their names to the
police.
There were disturbances reported from
various parts of the city, due to the fact
probably that more negroes than on yes
terday ventured out. Tho special po
lice, however, during the night and
early morning, gathered in a large num
ber of characters on the streets who
wore unable to give a satisfactory ac
count of themselves, and it is thought
that the effect of these arrests will be to
gradually restore order.
Ono negro was beaten on Poydras
street about 8 oclock, but citizens inter
ferred and caught one of the toughs.
The. city has been full of rumors of the
capture of Charles, the desperado who
slew Day and Lamb and wounded Mora,
but he has not yet been apprehended.
Mayor Oapdeviello remained in his
office throughout the night and said at
daybreak that tho situation had very
much improved. Several hundred ne
groes have left tho city to bunt homes
elsewhere.

Bryan Devotes Most of His Notifica
tion Speech to Imperialism.
Lincoln, Neb., July 27.—William J.
Bryan said today that in his notification
speech at Indianapolis, he would follow
the plan which he pursued at the notifi
cation meeting In 1890.
“Tho platform of that year,” he said,
‘♦declared tho money question to be a
paramount issue, and in my notification
speech I devoted all the time to the dis
cussion of that question, This year the
platform declared the question of impe
rialism to no tho paramount question
and it will be the only one dealt with at
any length in my notification speech.
Tho remaining questions covered by the
platform will be taken up in my letter
Os acceptance and subsequent speeches.”
RUSSIA BUY{=F SOFT COAL.

United States government is in the mar
