WU A Demand Is Made That tho Tiro on Pekln Legations Shall Cease The Imperial Government Asked to Co operate with the Belief Force nnd Bescuo (Ministers General Chaffee Sends Account of the Casualties of tho Advance of American Forces. Tho United States Will Not Ques tion tho Right of British Govern ment to Protect Subjects at Shang hai. Washington, Aug1. 9. The capture of Yang-Tsun, the first objective point of the lntei national forces, was the su preme news of importance received to day on the Chinese situation. The first word of this capture, effected last Monday, came In a brief dispatch to the signal olllce at the war depart ment from Colonel Scrlven, the signal officer at Chefoo, saying: Chccfoo, Aug 9. fciKnaR Washington: August 6. Yang Taun captured today. Wires up. Need own transportation, all well. (Signed) Screhcn. Yang Tsun is the town which Gen eral Chaffee indicated in his dispatch received late yesterday as being the objective point of the International forces on their then pending move ment. It is at the Junction of the Pel Ho and the railroad leading to Pekln. Its capture will insure tho interna tional troops, it is hoped, two routes of transportation to Pekln. It Is 17.8 miles from Tien Tsln. Half an hour after this message a cablegram camo from General Chaffee giving additional details of tho cap ture, and showing that It had been at tho cost of about sixty casualties among the American troops. General Chaffee's dispatch Is as follows: Vang Tsun, Aug. 6. Yang Tsun occupied to day. Wounded: Second Lieutenant Frank H. Lone, Ninth infantry, moderate; casualties about eity men, Ninth United Statu infantry, Fourteenth United States infantry and Dattcry F, Fifth United States artillery. Nearly all from Fourteenth infantry. Kaincv later. Many men prostrated heat and fatigue. (Signed) Chaffee. Tcrauchi's Dispatch. Hardly less important was a dis patch from General Terauohl, second In command on the Japanese staff, sent to tho war office of Japan, and transmitted to the legation hoie, stat ing that the international forces would total 00,000 men on Aug. 15, at which time the real advance on P.ekin would begin. General Terauchl's dispatch stated that on the 4th, when It was forwarded, the advance had not yet begun. This was at first Incomprehen s ble, In view of the fact that lighting has actually occurred. Hut the later statement that the International force would total 60,000 men on the 15th ap pears to make clear General Terauchl's meaning and to reconcile It with Gen eral Chaffee's dispatches. Tho present movement of some 16,000 men doubtless Is viewed In the light of a reconnols sance In force, the main movement of the army of 50,000 to follow on me I5th. This makes clear the meaning of General Chaffee's dispatch that Yang Tsun was the objective point. The war department here has been considerably puzzled over this state ment of an objective point far short of Pekln. It would appear, however, from General Terauchl's dispatch that the first force of 1CO0O men, having opened up communications to Yang Tsun, brought forward supplies nnd established this advance base, the way would then be clear for the advance of the larger force on tho 15th. Tho capture of Yang Tsun Is, therefore, an important strategic branch of the fast maturing military plans. The place Is about '"hteen miles beyond Tien Tsln, nnd little less than a quarter of the way to Pekln. Colonel Scrlven's state ment, "ulro up," contains much mean ing, as It Is accepted as showing that there Is direct telegraphic communica tion with the army In the field. Aside from the assurance this gives of speedy transmission of news from the front, It gives the additional assurance that the line of communication Is In tact back to the first baso of opera tions. The capture of Yang Tsun on the day following the battle of Pelt sang Is regarded as a highly feuccess Xul military achievement, especially In view of the fact that it was looked upon as a stronghold whose capture might give the foreigners considerable trouble. Diplomatic Aspects. Aside from tho military news of the day, the diplomatic aspects of the crisis was made more clear by tho publication of tho demand of the Uni ted States on the Imperial government of China and transmitted to Minister Wu last evening. The document Is as follows; We are Mailing ourst'lte of the opportunity offered by the Inipeilal edict of Hie Mh of Au gmt, allowing to the foreign inlnlsi r free turn munlcatlon to JllnUtrr Conger to which we await an ans'tcr We are aluadt ahUrd by Mm In a 1'iicl dUputth dated August 7th, that the Imperial tronpi are flrliij'upon the mliiMirs in I'ckln. We demand the immediate ceutlin of hostile attrika by Impel lal troops upon the legation ami uigo tin a'slawt of fury Kirr tnd energy of the imperial gourmnent for the protection of the ligation and fortigner theicin. We are aUo udticd lit the mime dispute ll from Minister (in?ira that in liU opinion fur the foreigner tn leate I'ekln u proord hv the r"K( oi August , would bj certain ilea h. In of the fait tlut the Impirul troops me now firing on tho legations nnd In tcw of the doubt expressed by the imperial government, in iM edict of August 2, as to Its power to restore order and secure absolute safety in I'ekln, it Is etident that this apprehension Is well founded, for if your governmnt cannot protect our mm. iter In I'ekin It will presumptively be unable to protect him upon a Journey trom I'ekln to the roast. We, then fore, urge upon the Imperial govern, rotnt that It shall adopt the cnurrc suggested in the third clause of the letter of the president to his majesty the emperor of China, of July 22, 1900, and enter Into communication with the re lief expedition so that co operation may lie se cured between them for the liberation ot the legations, tho protection of foreigners, and the restoration of order. Such action on the part of the imperial govcrnmnt would be a satisfactory demonstration of its friendliness and desire to at tain these end (Signed) Aha A. Adee, Acting Secretary, Department of State. Washington, Aug. 8, WOO. Minister Wu worked assiduously on the message during tho day, trans lating It first from English to Chinese, nnd then from Chinese into the cipher code of China. Owing to the gravity of the document this work required scrupulous exactness nnd time, but It is probably that It is by this time on Its way to the Chinese government. The various foreign representatives In the city showed keen interest In this latest move by the United States, and called at the state department to In quire concerning it. They were fur nished copies of the demand, and In an informal manner expressed their approval of what had been done. This action by tho United States was taken 6olely on Its own responsibility, with out consulting other powers as to the advisability of the demand. The use of the word "demand" in tho American note thoroughly indi cates the urgency of the message. In tho teohnlcal parlance of diplomacy It differs from an ultimatum, which usually fixes a date or sets a time within which there must bo compli ance, the lack of compliance during the stated time being a ground for war. While the demand Is less specific as to the tlmo of compliance, It none the less asserts a positive right which the government will enforc, If the right be not conceded. Owing to the difficulties of communication with Pe kln, it is expected that sjme days must elapse before an answer can be received, and there Is a disposition to grant nil reasonable, time for this transmission. Situation at Shanghai. Late in the day the Rtate department received an Important dispatch from Consul General Goodnow at Shanghai, announcing the landing of British troops at that point. The consul gen eral did not state that he had pro tested against this action and the state department Judged from this that no protest would have been made by him In the absence of instructions. He stated, however, that tho merchants of the city strongly disapproved of the landing of the British troops, fearing that it would incite tho antl-forelgn Chinese to hostllltlees. The govern ment at Washington has taken no no tion In the nature of a protest, and it Is stated officially that no such action would be taken. On the contrary the United States government recognizes the right of any power to protect Its citizens or their Interests when they are supposed to bo in Jeopardy. As In dicative of this policy, It Is stated In tho highest official quarters that If the United States citizens nt Amoy, China, were reported to be In danger this gov ernment would maintain its right to promptly send an armed force for their protection. This right of protection claimed by tho United States Is con ceded to be open to all powers alike. At tho same tlmo the state depart ment recognizes that there Is a ques tion of wisdom Involved in this par ticular landing of troops. As to wheth er our government would express doubt upon the wisdom of the move ment tho officials decllno positively to say. Secietary Root regards tho situation both from a military and diplomatic point of view as much Improved. The promise of cipher communication with the ministers In Pekln, together with the advance of the International forces upon that city Is believed to have co-relative significance. It Is nlso believed that the resistance by tha Chinese has not and will not be ns great as anticipated by some au thorities who said that the Chinese forces consisted of tho best of their nrmy. The movement on Yang Tsun Is In accordance with Information con tained In the dispatch from General Chaffee, which wns not made publlo, nnd also In a despatch which was also made public nfter Peltsang had been taken. It Is the expectation of the officials of the war department tint the present reconnolssance In force will continue, although nothing Is said ns coming from General Chaf fee to that effect. ALLIES AT YANG TSUN. Progress Toward Pekin Has Aroused Favorable Comment. London, Aug. 10, a. m. In the cap ture of Yang Tsun, the losses of the allies, according to a despatch to the Dally Kxpress from Chefoo, dated Aug. 8, purporting to give an account of that engagement were 200, the major ity of these being killed. "The allies marched on Yang Tsun," says this report, "at dawn Monday. The position held by 1,500 Chinese was well entrenched to the east of the riv er. After four hours heavy fighting tho Chinese were driven from their defence works." Another despatch to the same paper, dated Tien Tsln, Aug. 6, recounts a teconnolssance that morning by ths Japanese beyond Usl Ku, the result being that the enamy was developed In strong force, well fortified, at Wei Ho. The Chinese were superior In numbeis, nnd after facing the flro of seven guns the Japanese retired on Hsl Ku, with 3 killed and 27 wounded, but having enptured 200 horses. With tha exception of these messages General Chaffee's report is the only account published by the London morning papers telling of tho capture of Yang Tsun. The editorials generally Incline to vlow the progress towards Pekln ns thus far splendid, but one which can not be maintained nt tho present rap id rate, as the concentration of sup plies and the establishment of bases will cause lnevltablo delay. The collector of customs of Shanghai has received a routine message from Sir Kobert Hart, director general of Imperial customs, showing that the latter Is still conducting the business of imperial customs, a rather curious condition of affairs when taken In con Junction with the words, "Happily, still alive," which he included in the dispatch which was dated Pekln, July 27. Commenting upon Washington's lat est communication to the Chinese gov ernment, the Dally Chronicle describes It as "Idyllic diplomacy" and It de clares the Chinese attempts to get the ministers to leave Pekln as described by M. PIchon has convinced everybody except the Washington officials that a steady application of force Is the only argument Pekln can understand. M. PICHON'S DISPATCH. French Minister Sends Instructions as to Best Method of Bescuo. Paris, Aug. 9. The foreign office re ceived the following dispatch, which reached here In cipher from M. PIchon, the French minister nt Pekln, via Shanghai today, August 9, tht Pekln date not being given: "The diplomatic corps has Just been Informed by the Chinese government that the powers have repeatedly de manded our departure from Pekln under escort and beg us to arrange our departure and fix a date. We have responded to the tsung-11-yorren that we could not leave our posts without Instructions from our governments, to whom wo leave the question. "I rhould Inform you that should we not depart from Pekln the foreign forces coming to our rescue should be of sufficient number to Insure the safety and convoy of 800 foreigners, of whom 200 ore women and children and fifty wounded, and more than 3,000 na tive Christians, whom we cannot leave to be massacred. In any case, a Chi nese escort should not bo considered. "I hope that my cipher No. 1, dated August 3, has been transmitted." The dispatch referred to by M. PIch on hns not yet reached the French foreign office. ADDRESS TO DEMOCRATS. Bryan, Stevenson, Jones and Hearst Sign the Important Document. Notification Pnrty Leaves Indian apolis. Chicago, Aug. 9.

In the streets It was much hotter, and the thermometers placed In the sun regis tered as high as 120 degrees. There was less humidity than on nny of the previous days during the present hot spell, which made tho weather more bearable. At noon tho temperaure was 90 degrees, and at S o'clock tonight registered S9. Reports from many parts of the state tell of numerous prostrations. At Easton, Samuel Nevln, n prominent merchant, died "from the effects of the heat. He was 83 years old.

A Washington dispatch to the Brooklyn Eagle says that Admiral Georgo Dewey came town today from his country home in the suburbs of Washington. "I rega.u the news from the Philippines as particularly encouraging," the admiral is quoted as saying to the Eagle correspondent. "Aguin.ildo's lieutenants are surrendering one alter another. Whatever show of resistance to our authority there is at the" present time in the Philippines will be kept up until after our election in November. The insurrection is kept alive by the leaders who hold out to the soldiers the hope or Bryan's election. "I regard the situation in China as exceedingly grave. The difficulties that our Soldiers will have to contend against are many and various. The conditions that exist there are very much the same as those in the Philippine Islands." When asked whether in his opinion there was really a condition of war existing between this country and China he said: "I should say, most assuredly, yes. They are killing our people and our soldiers are fighting hard for their lives. "The navy can be of little service in this Chinese difficulty. Our warships can, however, keep things quiet at Hong Kong and Shanghai. Our naval commanders can do just as I did at Manila, when Aguinaldo said he was going to take the city. I sent him word that if he did he would not find one brick upon an other and that I would raze the city to the ground. This certainly would have been done If he had per sisted in his purpose. The warships of the allies ought to be able to keep things straight in those cities within reach ot their guns on the coast. It is very significant the sending for Li Hung Chang by the dowa ger empress. In this day of dire distress it is not surprising that such government as there is at Pekin should turn to the only really great man of the country. I think the allies are doing well to keep Li Hung Chang where he is. It is better for our people to have him under their eyes than at Pekin."

Cavalry Charged the Crowd in One of the Streets Alarmed by a Movement of tho Populace Feared the Young King's Life Was in Danger The March to the Pan theon Italian Capital in Deep Mourning.

Tho casket was then raised to the top of a catafalque, surmounted by n wreath and lion, and on It was placed tho helmet and sword of King Humbert. At that moment, so touching was the beautiful scene that tho emotion of those, present was plainly audible with in tho stilled church. Twirs dimmed many eyes and sobs could be heard throughout the hall. An hour before tho nrrlval of the funoial procession Queen Helena, the dowager.
