Shaft .e Recommends Withdraw al of American Troops. Suspicious Kegardiag the Intentions of Eussia in China. OUR GOVERNMENT BNIEAVOR- ING TO FINI OUT IF THE AN NOUNCEMENT OF THE RUSSIAN GENERAL AS TO WAR WITH CHINA IS TRUE THE NOTE TO f .THE POWERS. Pekin, Aug. 18, via Shanghai, Aug. 25. At a conference of foreign minis ters and the commanders of the vari ous troops today it was decided to ap portion certain parts of the city to each nation for police purposes. The Americans were assigned the guard of the southwestern part of the Chinese city. They will issue a proclamation for residents to return to their work and for business men to open iip their stores . There has been no shooting going on, but the Japanese and Russians have captured great quantities of stores and coin. It is rumored an army of boxers is Just outside the city. The telegraph line -between .Pekin and Tung Chow is reported cut . American and other cav alry will patrol the lines of communi cation hereafter, ' . , ' London; Aug. 25. The nature f the Chinese situation which chiefly puzzles Europe is the absence of all authentic accounts of tthe efforts to seize the legations during the two months they were practically cut off from communication with . the world. The policy of the respective powers, or rather two of them, increases as the prospect of extensive military opera tion diminishes. Russia and Germany are, of course, the nations whose atti tude, or possible attitude, arouses ap prehension. The continent perhaps would say that Great Britain is the only legitimate ob ject of suspicion, but it can be said England has no selfish designs in Chi na, unless the time comes when she will be unable to prevent the dismem berment of the empire. In the latter case England will, try to get all she can, and it is useless to deny she is making certain preparations for that contingency. THE DIPLOMATIC SITUATION. Washington, Aug. 25. There has been no marked change in the Chinese situation since yesterday and officials say there, is no cause for worry. It is indicated by the authorities here that there is not likely to be anything in re gard to the diplomatic phase until the powers have received the note of the United States inviting an arrangement f or the recognition of some central au thorities in the empire with which the powers may conduct peace negotia tions. Until the government is satis fied that none of the European pow ers or Japan intend to declare war against China the president will- re main in Washington. He intends to stay until some -definite -responses are received from the powers to his note, and until it is learned from the Rus sian government whether the Russian commander at Pekin was justified in making the assertion that his country was at war with China. The opinion, here is that the Russian general did make a declaration of that character but it is believed the government a St. Petersburg will repudiate it. How ever, the report cause concern and of flcials are anxious to get reliable ad vices. EMPRESS. London, Aug. 25. -r A Shanghai , de spatch of this date repeats the report Valuable Mineral .

The i-eport tele- grphed from-Washington that Ger many is preparing to make San Fran cisco a base oflsuppliea, with a view to sending a very powerful army to China, has attracted considerable at tention. Your correspondent has made Inquiries on- the. subject in shipping circles and finds that German orders for stores and provisions are suffi ciently extensive to lend probability to this rumor. It certainly would ' Hot surprise the diplomatic authorities here if the ' German force should even tually reach' a total of 40,000 or 50,000 men. TROOPS POURING TN. Taku, Friday, Aug. 24. The tran sports are pouring into Taku. Three large German vessels have arrived and are unloading. One regiment that has disembarked is on its way to Pekin and another is .bound for Tien Tsiri. Three Russian vessels also are in the harbor. The Fifteenth infantry, the Third ar tillery and 500 marines are camped at Tien Tsin awaiting orders. Rations for forty days are being f orwarded to the Pekin contingent by boat. A hundred civilians have left Pekin. including the customs force, and are on their way down the river. " The foreigners here desire that a hew expedition shall be sent against Pao Ting Fu to destroy the city and avenge the massacres of foreigners which occurred there. PREDICTS UPRISING. Oakland, Cal., Aug. 25. In a lecture on the situation in China, delivered here, Consul Cen Hoyo said: "Recent advices inform me that the United States will keep troops in China.. I hope it, will not be . There will be great danger in such a course. I fear when It is known that the Chi nese capital is in the hands of for eigners there will be a terrible upr's- ing all over China. The Chinese will rise in a body and, it wlll;iake much money and mny lives te ultimate suppress them. Would your Christ wish you to advance religion at the sacrifice of millions of lives?" CONSULS TO RETURN. Washington, Aug. 25. The state de partment ia taking steps to have all the American consuls in China return to their several posts as soon as im mediate danger from anti-foreign out breaks is passed. The attention of the department has been cal'ed to the statements emanating from various consuls to the effect that they left their posts at the direction of the de partment. The officials say this. Is not correct; that the consuls merely were permitted by the department to leave their posts on their own responsibility if they considered their lives were in danger. Now that the danger is pass ed the department is getting ready to have them go back to their posts and take up their routine work. LI'S WHEREABOUTS. Washington Aug. 25. Chinese offi cials express the belief today that Li Hung Chang has started for Pekin or Tien Tsin. fWhile there are said to be no official advices to this effect, yet it is so in accordance with the expecta tion of the Chinese course that the offi cials accept it as a ..-fact.. If this proves to be correct it may bring about an early opjKJrtunity for possible ex changes between Li and the command ers. The Chinese government has been en tirely silent since the capture of Pekin, except in the two communications from Li Hung, and up to the present time Minister Wu has received no word responsive to the American answer sent him by Mr. Adee Wednesday. Three days have elapsed and' tbsre has been .ample time for Li Hung to formulate the next move. In the cir cumstances it is felt that he accepts the American and German answers and such others as may have reached him as negativing any present ipros !pectof negotiations along the lines he proposed. The opinion is expressed that this will prolong the uncertainties of the diplomatic situation during which Efeirl Li will tay, to meet the requirments Laid, down by the United State's and the other powers, awhile the latter will en deavor to reach some common ground of -understanding for the future. A cablegram has been received from Admiral Remey in which he states it is reported"" that the Russian commander at Pekin has forbidden any communi- caion between his forces and the Chi nese '.

San Francisco, Aug. 25. News comes from Sydneyby the steamer Mariposa of an outbreak of latent savagery In two aboriginal blacks,- who had lived for years .in close association with whites, and if resulted In the slaughter of five wo mew and children in one place and of five people in another. At Breelong, in New South Wales, the Mawbry family offended two natives known as Govern or and UtncLerwood, who, in revenge. broke into the Mawbry house, armed with tommahawks and war clubs. In the house were Mrs. Mawbry, her two daugh'tera, Grace Jind Hilda, her niece, Elsie Clark, Miss Kerced, a school teacher, and three boys, Percy, aged 13, George, 12, and Albert, 9. Of these only the two youngest boy escaped by hid ing. All the others were either killed or mortally wounded. The blacks seem ed to have blood madness upom them, for in their flight across the country to the Queensland mountain they killed Alex McKay and his wife at Gulong, old ,Mts. O'Brien and her young child at Meruwa and Kerin Fitzpatrick, an old man of 60, at Mudge. Their horses were captured by the police, but they escaped. STILL ON GUARD AT AKRON. r Cleveland, Aug. 25. Governor Nash fears there may be more rioting at Akron. For that reason troops will be held there until Monday, at least. This decision was reached today at a conference here between the governor and Assistant Adjutant General Ad ams. Governor Nash said he would keep the troops on duty until he was absolutely satisfied that -the lawless el ement would make no further trouble. "The ill feeling among the Akron cit izens who participated in the' riots seems to be directed especially against the city officials," said the gov ernor. "I am afraid that when the lawless element fully realizes that the negro was taken into the city and sen tenced and then taken away again without their knowledge the trouble may arise again. The state will pro tect life and property at Akron as long as necessary." Speaking in regard to the punish ment of the rioters, the governor saTd the state officials will take no hand in the prosecution unless the civil author ities at Akron should express- t him their inability to cope with the situa tion.
