Of this the hemp exports were valu ed at neatly $S,ooo,ooo and raw sugar about the same only one tenth of which came to the" United States. The remainder was made up of copra, leaf tobacco and cigars. The exports by countries, including gold and sil ver, show: To China, $6,910,498; the United States, $4,040,255; England, $3,701,563; Japan, $1,983,896, and Spain,$i, 170,231.

Another ca lilcgram came to the state department late yesterday from Minister Conger at Peking, the first which ha (Mine direct from the minister since June 12, the other having been received through the inter mediary of the Chinese minister here, Mr. Wu. This telegram shows that the situation in the Chinese capital is of a very serious character, that the ministers re still hi danger from the Chinese troops nud that their supply of auimuui tlou and provisions has been reduced to .4 very considerable extent. So important were the statements contained in the dis patch that a conference was held by wire between, several of the officials here and the president at Canton, lasting for ser- j eral hour. i The following is the cablegram from Minister Conger as received by the state department, dated Tsi-Xan Yanivu, Aug. "Still besieged. Situation more preca rious. Chinese government insisting upon our leaving Peking, which would be cer tain death. Kitte firing upon us daily by imperial troop. Have ubundant courage, but little ammunition or provisions. Two progressive Yamen ministers beheaded. All connected with legation of the I'uited States wall at the present moment." The cablegram came in the olticial ci pher of the department. The dispatch reached the department nt 4 :2 p. ni., but was not made public until late in the evening. Those who were nt the White House in conference with the president included Acting Secretary Adee of the state de partment. Secretary Hoot and Adjutant General Corbin. Captain Michael, the chief clerk of the state depurtmeut, through whose hands the cablegram pass ed, was also present part of the time. What the result of the conference was the officials declined to say. That it will stimulate the energies of the government to its utmost endeavor to press forward the ndvance movement toward Peking is certain, for Mr. Conger's message makes it clear that for the ministers to leave Pe king would result in thuir death. Secre tary Root did not care to make any state nisnt when asked about the situation. The officials had been led to believe from the more recent dispatches, which purported to emanate from Chinese sources as well as from imperial edicts, that the condition of the legationers was much improved, but this dispatch shows a very different aspect of affairs. Secretary Root stated late last night that so far as he was aware there would be no change in the president's intentions to return to Washington on the 18th inst., making this reply to a tjuestion as to whether th latest developments in Peking would necessitate his return tc the capital earlier. The word "yamen" following the name of the city Tsi-nan. at which the cable gram from Mr. Conger was put on the wires, as understood here, probably re fers to the official building or residence from which it was transmitted or at which it was received by courier from Peking. i The information that United States troops were engaged in the battle at Peit sang established positively for the first time that, notwithstanding the difficulties which General Chaffee had encountered in debarking troops and supplies, at least a part and a Considerable part of our force was in the vanguard of the forwaid movement. General Chaffee's dispatch to the war department conveyed the most satisfactory evidences that the command ers had thoroughly agreed in advance upon a plan of action aud that there is every indication that this plan has le-n followed, as General Chaffee on Friday sent the cable saying that the attack : upon the Chinese at Pietsang would be made on Sunday, the day when Admiral lteniey aud the press correspondents say the fighting occurred. General Chaffee's announcement that the present objective of the international column is Yaugtsun is interpreted by the officials at the war department to mean that this point, where river, railroad and wagon road meet, is to be made the advance base for the operations on Peking. I The engagement at Peitsang is nnder stood here to be the result of a recon- 1 noissance in force, and while Couimandei I Taussig mentions only the Uussian and , Japanese troops it is apparent that othei ' trocps were engaged, because he says the loss was sustained "chiefly" by the IIus- : sians and Japanese The report also disproves the state- meuts sent from Washington about th Chuffee dispatch making it appear that the Ilussiaus were sulking in their tcnit ' and would not move. The dispatches Me at follows: "Chefu. Aug. 0. British Fame reports, unofficial, engagement Peit-.ang Sunday, 3 to 10:30. Allied loss killed, wounded. l.U"0, chiefly Hussian, Japanese.

LEGATIONS STILL Late Dispatch riir That Fact Snn da'a Battle Desrritied. LONlON, Aug. S. A message from the Belgian minister, dated Peking. Aug. 2, seems effectually to dispose of the ru mors that the ministers have either left it are int-ndii' to leave Peking. The Chinese minister in London, Sir Chi Chen Lofengluh, says he has receiv ed a telegram from China announcing that long inipcii.il edict issued on Aug. 2 authorising the immediate and safe conveyance of all Luropeau iu Peking to Tientsin. Several dispatches are printitl giving hearsay account of Sunday's batle. The l'aily Mail's correspondent nt Chefu, tel egraphing Monday, says: "The fighting lasted seven hours, and the allies, when my report left, were pur suing the Chinese, but owing to the floods progress was dirticuit. "Thus the Chinese will have time to re form and to recover from the effects of the battle.

They have no shells and are nipht raiders, says the New York World.
