Aug 2 ?Dr. George Ernest Morrison, the Pekin corres? pondent of The Times, has been beard from direct The Times this morning prints the following dispatch from him dated Joly 21: There has been a cessation of bos tilities here (Pekin) siuce July 18, bot (or fear of treachery, there has been no relaxation of vigilance The Chinese soldiers continue to strength en the barricadea around the besieg? ed area, and also the batteries on top of tbe imperial wall, but in the mean? time they have discontinued firing, probably because tbey are short of ammunition "The main bodies of the imperial aoldiera have left Pekin in order to meet tbe relief force. Supplies are beginning to come ir and tbe coodi lion of tbe besieget! is improving Tbe wounded are doing well Our hospital arrangement!! are admirable aod 150 cases have passed through tbe hospital "The tsung li yamen forwatded to Sir Claude Macdonald, a copy of a dispatch telegraphed by the em peror to Queeo Victoria, attributing all deeds of violence to bandits and requesting her majesty's assistance to extrioate tbe Chinese government from its difficulties Tbe queen's reply is not stated but tbe Chinese minister at Washington telegraphs that the United States government would gladly assist tbe Chinese au? thorities ' This dispatch to the queen was sent to the tsung li yamen by the grand council oo Joly 3, yet the day before an imperial edict baa been issued calling oo the Boxers to con tioue to render loyal and patriotic services in exterminating the Chris? tians Tbe edict also commanded viceroy and governors to expel all missionsries from China and to arrest ?11 Christians and compel them to re? nounce their faith Other decrees applauding the Boxers speak approv iogly of their burning out and slay ing converts Their leaders are stated in a decree to be princes and ministers On July 18 another de? cree made a complete volte face due to the victories of of the foreign troops at Tien Tsin In this decree, for the first time, and one month after the occurrence, an allusion was made to the death of Baron von Ketteler, the German minister, which was at? tributed to tbe act on of local brigands, although there is no doubt that it was premeditated, and the as ssssination was committed by an im? perial officer, as tbe survivor, Herr Cordes, can testify. The force besieging tho legation consists of the imperial troops under Gen Tung Lu and Gen Tung Fuh >iang. whose gallantry is applauded in imperial decrees, although it has consisted in bombarding for one month defenseless women and chil? dren cooped up in the legation com? pound, using shell, shrapnel, round shot and expanding bullets The Chinese throughout, with chnracter ; istie treachery, posted proclamation assuiing us of protection and the tame night they mad ? a general attack in the hope of surprising us "There is still no news of Pei Tang cathedral The woundod number 138 including the American surgeon, Lippitt. severely wounded and ('apt Myers, who is doing well Heven Americans have been killed ?'All the ministers and members of the legations and their families are in good health. The general health of the community is excellent, and we are awaiting reitet " Aftor enumerating tbo casualties already reported and giving tho total deaths, including American, as 50. Mr Morrison proceeds as follows : st and Fear not?Let all the Ends thou [TER. S. C WEDNE "The Chinese undermined the French legation, wliich is now a rain, bat the French minister, M Picbon, was not present, having fled for pro? tection to the British legation on the first day of the siege. "The greatest peril we suffered during the siege was from firo, the Chinese in their determination to destroy the British legation, burning the adjoining Han Lin Yuen (nation al college), ooe of the most sacred buildings in China, sacrificing the unique library V AN AMERICAN'S TESTIMONY. Chicago, Aug 1 ?A cable dispatch to the Daily News from Chefoo, July 31 via Shanghai, Aug 1, says : Dr Robert Coltmao, Jr, the staff corres? pondent of the Chicago Record in Pekin, who bad not been heard from since June 12, eends the following dispatch : "Pekin, July 21 ?Baron von Ket teler, the German minister wat mar dered by Chiaese troops and his secretary wounded Jane 20th while on hie way to the tsung li yamen. The foreign residents ate besieged in the British legation and have been ander a daily fire from artillery and rifles. "The cowsrdice of the Chinese fortunately prevented them from making successful rushes Oar losses are 60 killed and 70 wounded. The Chinese losses exceed 1,000 There hss been no word from the outside world. Food is plentiful, euch as it is, rice and horse flesh. Yesterday ander a flag of truce a message was sent by Yung Lu aaking if Sir Claude Macdonald, the British minis ter, would consent to a truce The minister replied he was willing pro? vided the Chinese came no closer The shell firing then ceased and everything is now quiet "We hope that, having defeated the Chinese, relief is rearing as We are all exhausted with constant standing on guard, fighting, building barricades and digging trenches both night and day "All the legations except the Brit ieh are utterly wrecked by ahot and shell. The Austrian. Belgian and Holland buildings are burned to the ground The British legation is also much shattered. The United States marines still bold a vital position on the city wall commanding tho lega? tions "After a brilliant sortie on the night of July 3 Capt Myers succeed ed in driving back the Kansnh mounted troops During the figul Capt Myers was slightly wounded Secretary Squires of the United States legation deserves the greatest credit for bis services throughout the siege His military experience and energy are invaluable Many flags and rifles were csptured by Capt Myers. "We fear that treachery is possible when the defeated Chinese troops enter the city Meanwhile we are living in intense anxiety and hoping for early relief M -??-? Infamy and Duplicity That Must be Punished. London, Aug 2. 4 a. m?At last tho story of Pekin has been told. Dr Morrison in The Times today holds up the Chinese government before the world ss guilty, and to a degree of in? famy and duplioity that exceeds the surmise of its worst dstraotors In the same dispatch he gives a more hopeful view of the prospeote of the besieged than hss been expressed by any of the others who have been heard from. Simultaneously tbero comes from the Belgian charge d'affaires at Shanghai an official statement that the allies are expected to reach Pekin in about a week, they boing 18 miles from Tien Tsin yesterday. Commenting upon Dr. Morrison's dUpitoh The Times says: "It is now beyond doubt that the frequent asser? tions of the different Chinese represen? tatives that for a month past the lega-1 tioos havo been eojayiog tho protection I of the throoe are ooo and all, uoquaii ] fied falsehoods. Tho cumulative evi? dence is overwhelming that the whole ! aair has been throughout under the control ?od direction of the Ohio eve I government. ?*lt now rests with the powers to make the Chinese government under- j stand that v. will be held fully re? sponsible for whatever happens in Pekio " THE CHINE8E GOVERNMENT Washington, Aug. 1 ?The Chim-so minister called at tno state department early today ana presented to Secretary Hay s dtJpatOI from Li Hung Chant;, received last midnight from the Cht? nese minister in London : "Jttst received a telegram from Pao Ting F )0 of the sixth moon, 281 day, (July 19). that tho privy oooooil had that day received an imperial edict as follows : " 'Wo have received the memorial of Li Hung Chang and others imploring os to savs aod proteot the ministers of Aims't at, be thy Country's, thy God's BP AY.

Respect this 1 "This telegram has beeo delayed in transmission. The other day I aod other vioeroys seot a joiot memorial, requesting that the different ministen? be escorted out of Pekin, or that tbey first be enabled to freely oommooioate by letter or wire with their respective governments. When ao imperial an? swer is reoeived, I will again wire Commuoioate this to Minister Yaog at St. Petereborg. Minister Yu at Paris aod Minister Wo at Washington for tbem to ioform secretaries for foreigo affairs." Only One Step From War With China. Washington, Aug 2.?The state de? partment has made publio the follow? ing oorrespoodeooe between Li Hoog Chaog aod the state department re? garding the abandonment of the cam? paign oo Pekio : Telegram seot to the United Stetes embassies io Berlin, London, Paris, Rome aod St. Petersburg aod to the United States minister, Tokio. State Department, Washington, Aug. 1, 1900. In reply to a suggestion of Li Hoog Chang that the ministers might be sent under safe escort to Tien Tsin provided the powors would engage not to march on Pekio, the secretary of state, re? plied oo the 30th of July : "This government will not enter into any arrangement regarding dis? position ot treatment of legations with? out first having free oommunioatioo with Minister Conger. Responsibility for their protection rests upon Chinese government. Power ro deliver at Tien Tsin presupposes power to proteot aod to open communication. This is in? sisted 00." This mossage was delivered to Vioe roy Li by Mr Goodoow oo the 3lst. Viceroy Li then enquired whether "if communication were established be? tween ministers and their governments it oould bo arranged that the powers should not advanoo on Pekin pending negotiation \V To this inquiry tbo following reply was sent od the 1st of August: "Goodoow, Consul General, Shanghai: "I do o:>i think it expedient to sub? mit the proposition of Earl Li to the other pjwers. Free communication with onr representatives in Pekin is domanded is a matter of absolute right and not as u favor. Since tho Chinese government admits that it possesses the power to (five communication, it put itself in an unfriendly attitude by deny? ing It No negotiations seem ad vis able until the Chinese government shall have put tho diplomatic representatives of the powers io full aod free commu? nication wt h their respective govern? ments and removed all danger to lives and liberty We woold urge Karl Li earnestly t> advise the imperial au? thorities of China to plaoe themselves io friendly oommunioatioo aod cooper atioo with fie relief expedition Tbey are assuming a heavy responsibility in acting otherwise Hay." You will oommunioate this informs tion to the minister of foreign affairs AN OMINOUS NOTE. Secretary Hay's reply to Li Hung Chang has oiosed the negotiations with China unlesn the old viceroy is able to secure tho full acceptance of our terms relative to the foreigo ministers and that at onee. No orders therefore looking to a relaxation of the prepare tioos for the advanoe on Pekin have gooe out from Washington, for, as the situation is described by ono of the leading officials hers "there will be no bargaining on our part io advance of the concession by the Chinese autbori ties to full and free communication with the foreign ministers 99 Tbero is moreover, a vote ominously close to aotual war iu Secretary Hay's declar I atioo that tho ciDduct of the Chinese I government is "unfriendly.'' That I kind of language is extreme in diplo? macy, and ic is only a norrow step t)2 tween it and formal war Tho impression prevail* here that the l Chinese government, if it is not abso? lutely bereft of power to act in defiaoce of the Baien will accept c ur terms and some suoh action is looked for very soon. Possibly ? brittle, not. more, it is believed, than one at most, will bv required to briOg the imperial govern? ment to th?' point of acceptance, tboogh in that, case it is tjuestionablo whether the original conditions would be regard' ed on still open to acceptance If the Chinese government now aceeptp, how? ever, the United Niates goveroroi it will be faoe to fice wiib one of the most delioatc and roomeotoos dipl.i m.\?io tasks evor undertaken It must attempt to redeem its promise to use its good offices in favor of China, anil in the present temper of Some of tbo European powers, the grrr.tost diffnul licN m?y be ciproted to arise in the prosecution of the attoiDp. It is the oonfideot expectations of the cftioiu's here, however, that if the Chinese land Truth's." the i 900. Xe government actually and io good faith I meets all of the four conditions laid down by the president to his reply to the Chinese emperor's appeal for aid, that si least a majortiy of the powers oow represented io China will accept that as a proper base upon which to ceaeo present noatilities and open nego? tiations for a settlement. The decision of the majority io each case without doubt would reneive the acquiescence of : the minority, else an interminable entanglement might arise Secretary Boot said this afternoon there bad been no developments which would necessitate any changes in the instructions of Qeo Cbaffee or whioh would change the intentions of the I government in the least A oipber cable message wss sent to Qeo Cbaffee by Secretary Root today which contain? ed additional information and faots whioh have developed since the last message was sent him at Nagasaki The message oootained no additional instructions, bat merely information whioh we may use as a goide to oar actions. It is oot believed at the war depart? ment that an advance has been made as yet from Tien Tsin. It is explained that the last dispatohes indioated a great deal of delay in unloading the transports and before any advaooe can be made the troops most have all their equipments and transportation for tbem The indications are that the plans being matured at Tien Tsin contcm- ; plate a rapid advanoe when the move? ments begins, for it seems to be understood that there will be carried with the army a sufficient quantity of sopplies to maiotaio the troops on the march to Pekio and return, if a return 1 r.hnuid be advisable. The fact that no reports were reeeived from Gen Cbaffee during the day was not surprising to the war department rifficials who said that the general was j busy preparing for the campaign and moreover communication between Taku and Cbefoo is uncertain. CHINA STILL IMPOSED CONDI? TIONS. Paris August 2.?The French con? sul general at Shanghai telegraphs to? day as follows: "Li Hung Chang has stated to the United States con sul that the ministers will be put in communication with their respective governments if the allies arrest their march on Pekin. Chang is yet ' unable to secure a reply to the mes? sage, in his care, to M Pich n (the French minister in Pekin), as the tsung li yamen will not consent to the forwarding of cipher messages for the ministers. "It is asserted that the foreigners within the imperial city and their consular corps have decided to en , trust the defense of the concessions to the international naval forces " No Messages Will be Sent to Foreign Ministers. Washington. Aug. 3 ?The state j department makes publio the following telegram reeeived today from the con? sul general at Shanghai. Shanghai, Aug. o. Seoretary of State, Washington Americans left Chunking yesterday Li told Freooh consul today no mes? sages will be delivered ministers be Otase of foreigners advaociog on Pekin. Two pro foreign members of the tsuog li-yamen beheaded 27th for urging preservation ministers by Li Ping Hmg. now commanding troops io Pekin. He ordered Pao Ting ma* siore. Goednow. Washington, August 3.?Another move was made today in the diplomatic situation by the return of an evasive answer by Li Hung Chans to Seoretary Hay's peremptory demand of Aug 1 to be put in communication with the foreign ministers at Pekio. Li's answer is not final and loaves the mat? ter open diplomatically. But Li'> actions are reported by Consul General Goodoow es unquestionably sinister, and will amount to a final rejectioo of 1 the Amsriosn proposition if psrsisted ? ; in. Mr. Goodoow's dispatsh oootsios same fortber information bearing on the I question of responsibility for I'ekin conditions in the statement that the commander of the Chinese troop*, by inference sosworeblfl to the Cbine-e government, ordered the Pao Tins j massacre It is learned here that Li \ Pins Hong. thn commander referred to, i; a civil nffietel, and well known to all I the Chinese officials abroad as one of the mo*t rabid anti foreign loaders in China.

Makes the food more del ROYAL BAKINO WWC rRUK SOUTHRON, Betabllahed Jon* ISM w Series?Vol. XX. No 2 death of two high officials, is regardtd here as a bad sign. Simultaneously with Mr. Goodoow'e dispatoh came a characteristically dip* lomatio message from Yuan Shth K*t. governor of Shan Tang, repeating r" c story of two days that the Cb I 9 government was arrsogiog to de iver the ministers in safety at Tien Tsin. No effort is made to rcoonoiie tb t statemert with Earl Li's refusal to allow communication witb the minis ters. Gen Cbaffee's message as to tb? un? expected resistaooe offered to the Japan? ese reooooaissaooe is regarded by military meo here as forecasting a greater degree of resistaooe to the io teroatiooal advance tbao has beeo an? ticipated, and tbey are now eati-6 d that the Chinese troops will furo sh material for at least ooe severe ban e before the way is elear to Pekio The oavy departmeot today issued *r. order for the cooperation of its > ffi g abroad witb the otfiosrs of tho arn y c laodiog aod transporting troops dew m ed for Cbioese service This revives the situation that existed io Coba wheo Shafter's army corps was landed large? ly throogh the efforts of the oavy and the use of the letter's boats aod 1 earn laooches. It is thought io the depart? meot that the oavy cao leod consider? able assistance to Geo. Cbaffee'e troops out ooly io aiding their dcbarkatioc but possibly io furnishing them boat transportation if a move is made along the Pei Ho. It appears that some misunderstand? ing exists as to a St. Petersburg die patch printed here this morning saying that the Chinese minister there and bis colleagues in Europe had cabled the governor of Shan Tung demanding that free communication be opened between tbe Pekin ministers and their respective governments. This communication waa in fact a joint memorial to the throne concurred in by all Chinese minister* abroad, including Minister Wu ia Washington. It was forwarded bv Minister Yung Lu at St. Petersburg, becauio tbe latter is tbe dean of the Chinese diplomatic servic?. It wae transmitted through tbe governor of Shao Tung to be forwarded to Pekio. This action is considered very impor tan. as indication that the Cbioese ministers abroad have at last reached a unanimous conclusion that the situation is no longer to be trifled with. Their action may be regarded 39 a final effort on their part to iaflueoce tbe home government and its outcome ie awaited with great interest. Meanwhile tbe government of tbe Uoited States, like the governments of Europe, has not abandoned its effort to establish communication with its min? ister at Pekin by independent means and the state departmeot has instructed Consul General Goodnow at Shanghai, Consul Fowler at Ghefoo, and Consul Ragedale at Tien Tsin, to spare 00 effort or expense to open up direet com? munication with Mr. Conger. In addition to his short message rel? ative to the Japanese cheek, transmit? ted through Admiral Remey aod re? ceived this morning, Geo. Chaffee made another and direot cable report this af? ternoon. Tbe message was withheld from publication by Secretary Root, who deolioed to make its purport pub lie. Presumably it was devoted to a recital of Gen Cbaffee's needs io a military way. Io view of the London statement that the advance on Pekio actually began with the present week, there is alfo a possibility that G?o. Cbaffee's tnessaze has some bearing ou this subject, though it is evident from his report of this morning, that the advance, if started, could not have pro? gressed far beyond Tien Tsin, as the outpost affair described by bim took place only ten miles cut of town Second Assistant Secretary Adee is to act as secretary of state for a few weeks during Secretary Hsy'n absence, who left Washington this afternoon to visit his family at their summer home at Suoapes Lake, N H Plague io London.
