Officials Rafuse to Disclose Anything , From His Last Despatch. Say Newspapers Would Hardly Pub lish It if They Had It. CHINESE OFFICIALS MUST SOON DECLARE FOR POLICY OF WAR OR PEACE, AND THE ALTER NATIVE DRAWS CLOSER AS THE ALLIES MARCH ON PEK1N. London,- Aug. 16. In- view -of the un expected collapse of the Chinese oppo sition to the advance of the allies there la a growing1 inclination here to believe that Pekin has teen reached. A tele gram from Shanghai says the troops ar rived at the capital Monday, but -the saurce of ithe despatch destroys its val ue. Eveo assuming that the telegram was accurate, it conveys (nothing1 to al leviate -tftie anxiety regarding- the mem bers of the legations and other foreign ers, all the news of whom is conveyed io the official messages to the various governmenite. The situation in China, apart from the capital, seems to be more peaceful. - CRISIS APPROACHING. Washington, Aug. 15. Information received4 here within the past -few days show tthe situation at Shanghai is eo alarming that the cruiser New Orleans has been ordered from the. Philippines to'-Shanghtal with all despatch: Washington, Aug.. 15. As rher- Chi nese situation approaches the point where the policy of the Imperial au thorities, whether for peace or war, must be disclosed, evidence accumu lates of official Chinese duplicity. The crisis is now on and the next few days must determine the course that the Pekin government will pursue. The besieged foreigners are in desperate straits but determined not to surrender or trust the Chinese. j The movements of the allied forces are involved in mystery. They were only thirty miles from Pekin Saturday, the date of the last advices as to their whereabouts. In this situation, a hopeful feeling that the allies will res cue the ministers through an amicable arrajigememt satisfactory to ithe Chinese government and powers, is coupled with fears for the success of the ex pedition, based on the knowledge that the Imperial authorities have been act ing in a way that is the reverse of fidel ity, while professing to be on terms of amity with the foreign ministers and their governments. ! It was learned today that several J cipher messages from Minister Conger have been very much mang-led. ""This garbling has been so frequent that it I has given rise to a suspicion among offi cials that there is Chinese duplicity at the bottom of it. Some of the translat- , ed information contained in (Minister Conger's message, delivered through the Chinese minister, has not leaked out. The officials admit it "Is of a character which compels its suppres sion. They say even if the newspa pers obtained it they would hardly publish it on account of its nature, but they decline to indicate in! any way the purport of these, significant sen tences of Conger. ATTACKS ON LEGATIONS RENEW ED. London, Aug. 15. Transports with British troops arrived In . Shanghai roadstead Tuesday, The viceroy pro tested to Admiral Seymour against the landing of the troops and according to a Shanghai cablegram despatched at midnighjt, Admiral iSeymour wired to his government for Instructions as to how he should act. The British resi dents of Shanghai are indignant and attribute the viceroy's . .action to in trigues on the part of the French' and Russian' consuls; Taotal Shengs American adviser, Mr. Ferguson, who has been criticised by the press and by the Americana, for his contlmied re lations with the Chinese officials, has resigned his position. An English cor respondent sending this information from; Shanghai says: . s. "The Intimacy; of American officials with ShJeng has been remarked by Englishmen."

The French foreign office has received the following de spatch from M.. Pdchon, the French minister at Pekin, dated August 9: 'We have been advised that Li Hung Chang Is charged to negotiate tele graphically with the powers. We are ignorant of the events occurring our. eide the legation. It is surrounded by hostile defenses. How could we t nego tiate without the diplomatic corps re gaining Its rights and the legation grounds being evacuated? If the ne gotiations prevent the march of the al lied troops, which is our only salvation, we risk failing into Chinese hands. The section -wherein lies the French le gation is occupied by imperial troops who have not entirely ceased to fire. We are reduced to siege rations. We have provisions,, horses, rice and bread for fifteen days." PUSHING ON TO PEKIN. London, Aug. 15. 'Rear Admiral Bruce, telegraphing from Taku to the British admiralty, says: '"Have re ceied from the general at 'Ho Si Wu the following, dated August 10: "The troops are about twenty-seven miles from Pekin. They experienced little opposition. A position had been pre pared by the enemy, but as the allies advanced they fled. The Tartar cav alry was charged by two squadrons of Bengal lancers. Many of the former were killed.' "The standards of Generals Ma and. Sung were captured. The troops are much exhausted by the heat, but their health and, spirits are otherwise excel lent." A second despatch dated Ba Si Wu, August 11, says: "The advance may be somewhat de layed as rain is falling." j WEREJ SAFE AUGUST 13. London, Aug. 15.

Excellent Werk of North Carolina Men in the Phflipnines. The following from Manila Freedom) refers to services of some North Car olina men. It says: "The Fourth cavalry has - been ordtered Into barracks at Pasay and will in a few days all he assembled there. Rumor has it that they are soon to return "to -the States.; I dont know whether this 4s.ttrue or not, hut I do know that this most excellent or ganization has done as much bard and successful campaigning as any other command on the Island jand possibly more and they deserve the best of treatment. The writer has been on the island eighteen months, and during this . time has had abundant opportu nity for making, observations . and he makes the above statement with no de sire to say anything In disparagement of any of the other faithful regiments, for they have all done good work. The campaign made by the- detach jment of the Fourth cavalry under Col. Hayes through the northern end of the island, beginning early in last Octo ber, was fraught with many difficult ies, hardships and privations, but 'the brilliant success with which these ef forts were crowned speaks in the high est terms of the ability, pluck and courage of the commanding officer and his excellent corps. Majors Augur, Morton and Rogers, Captains Cameron, Erwln, Rivers' and Lockwood, 'Lieutenants Davis, Munro, Arnold and O'Shea these (all are high toned, educated soldiers and gentle men and have under" their command a fine body of well disciplined men who are always ready to 40 effective work. Lieutenant Plummer, the veterinary surgeon of the regiment,-and perhaps the most skilled man in his profession on the Island, was of great worth in the field and did much valuable work. Dr. James K. Stockard, the surgeon who accompanied this detachment, also won the lasting gratitud'? of the men on account of his kindness and the faithful and efficient work done among them. He made a campaign covering a distance of more than a hundred miles, through marshes, across rivers and over hills and mountains, with erpsipelas in one of his feet, and the foot in such condition that he could wear nothing on dt but a piece of cotton and a bandage. Some of the officers advised him not to go under the drcuirnstances. He not only Went, but whenever there was a call to arms, by day or by night, he was always one of the first men on the scene, ready to render any assistance needed. . On one occasion when our troops had been attacked at night, the writer saw him limping out to the firing line in the darkness with only one show on, right in the face of the enemy's guns, where the Mauser bullets were flying thick and fast, to look after the interests of the men. . He also did some very excellent, ef ficient an4 elective, work in the in surgent hospital captured at San Do mingo, when sent there by Colonel Hayes. The hospital, containing about 20 sick and wounded insurgents, was found to be In a deplorable condition foul and filthy In the extreme. The doctor immediately had the place thor oughly cleaned out and disinfected ; the cots all nicely washed off; the patients well bathed and sponged and their wounds, which had been long neglect ed and were very offensive, properly dressed; sent out among the dnhabi tamts of the town and procured clean shirts and trousers for each of the pa tients and a proper allowance and qual ity of food; examined and prescribed for them ; had the premises cleaned up, and left everything in a cleanly and orderly condition. He visited the place at different intervals after tuis to see that this state of affairs was maintain ed, and always to find, to his gratifi cation, great improvement in every way in the condition of the sick and wounded.

The republican convention for the Ninth congressional district today nominated Major James M. Moody, of Waynes ville, for congress, and J. Williams, of Hendersonville, for presidential elec tor. The convention passed strong resolutions endorsing the contest and the course of Hon. Richmond Pearson in congress and denouncing the frauds in the recent election. The convention was very largely at tended, the court room being well fill ed. It was a gathering of the best class of 'representative republicans in the district, and the action of the con vention was harmonious and enthusi astic. Chairman V. B. McGaha called the convention to order soon after 1 o'clock. He appointed a committee on credentials, which reported no con tests. Colonel V. S. Lusk was elected permanent chairman and C, B. iMoore secretary. Colonel Lusk in taking the chair adl" dressed the convention briefly. He contrasted the present era of prosper ity under a republican national admin istration with the four years of demo--cratic administration that preceded it. In this state, Colonel CLusk said, one of the most exciting campaigns ever known in North Carolina had just end ed. It was fought by the republicans under very unfavorable circumstances. "We were not beaten in that, cam paign," said the speaker. "Our prop erty was stolen." Colonel Lusk spoke of election frauds as being an evil in diginous to the eastern counties that, like the cattle disease, had traveled westward until it had crossed the Blue Ridge. A democratic registrar in a Haywood county precinct mistook the creek for a ballot box and dropped in to it the ballots cast by republicans on August 2. Colonel Lusk said that un der republican administration in North Carolina there was not a precinct in the state In which a democrat could not go and deposit his ballot and have it counted. When the democrats got into power they passed an election law to tie the hands of their political op ponents. He believed the majority of the democratic party was honest but it had fallen into the hands of the Philistines. They wanted office so bad ly that they were willing to acquire it by fraud. He spoke of the vote in Halifax county. 'We meet out justice to sheep thieves, let us meet out Jus tice to ballot box thieves. Registnjdfs of election will then be able to distin guish between a creek and a ballot box." Colonel L,usk s3RT that "16 to 1 is no longer in evidence. It is folded up and laid away." It is now "imperialism. the grandest humbug of all campaign issues ever devised. Imperialism, (Continued on fourth page.) Don't Get Hot standing over a hot vtove in a hot kitchen.
