To Open C' nummkntl ?n.
Pekin,?I5y t.V.hle.?The meeting of
the {.-eiMd'als of tile allied troops and
Count \o:j Waldcrsee last week wan
of grewt ir. teres} and importance.
Though it v-a.; known before iiaml
wliat had practically be* n decided
upon, still the meeting showed con
clusively tbo attitude of the different
powers. 'I lie only dissentients Iron)
tho plan adopfed were Gen. Chaffee,
the American commanded and Gen.
\Vogack, commander of the Russian
forces, who both thought that the num
ber of troops was too great. The
other generals were unanimouc in
the opinion that nine points on tho
rujlroad should be occupied between
Pekln and Shan llai Hi. with 0.000
men exclusive of the 2,0^0 in Pekin.
This will be- h permanent measure,
while the reduction of the present
forces will be made according to tho
wishes of the respective governments.
The railway between l\io Ting Tu and
Pekin will not be guarded, it not
being a line of communication with
the sea. Geti. Chaffee suggested that
it was only necessary to occupy two
point between Yang Tsun and Tien
Tsin and three between Tien Tsin
and Shan llai Kwan, with a total
of 2.00t) nii-n, exclusive of those at
Pek.n. It was not necessary, he said,
to* have soldiers at Tong Kii, as naval
vessels were a'.wave there and also
because Hie reliefs were always pas
sing backward and forward. (Jen.
Wogack thought 1,000 men would ho
sufficient for occupying Tien Tsin and
Shan Hal Kwan. The views of tho
majority Will be presented to the
ministers for Immediate action as the
generals feel that the acceptance by
the Chinese of these terms including
the total destruction of the forts at
Shan llai Kwan. Pel Tang. Taku.
Tong Ku, I'ei Tsan and Hang Tsuti,
will mean complete submission when
arrangements ought to be made for
tho" withdrawal of a majority of tin?
forces from China..
