Chaffee About In Establish Winter Quarters at Tien Tsin. Many Boxers Captured and Execute in Fekin. A DAHGB NUMBER SAID TO HAVE ENTERED THE CITY IN DIS GUISE PROVOST MARSHAL, COURTS ADMINISTERING AF FAIRS Washington, Sept. 27. Evidence ac cumulates that the reported appoint ment of Prince Tuan as a member of the .privy council of China is exceed ingly distasteful to the United States and -may have a deterrent effect on negotiations for peace. It is learned that officials have informally told Wu Ting Fang that the United States would regret exceedingly to learn that Tuan had been maue a member of the emperor's cabinet, and there is good reason to believe Wu has informed Li Hung" Chang that the appointment of Tuan will be regarded .by the Ameri can government as injudicious. CHAJFFEETS TEMPORARY CAM P. Pekin, Sept. 21, Via Shanghai, Sept. 27. Chaffee is about to start for Tien Tsin, where he will establish a winter camp. He will establish an intermedi ate; camp at Yang Tsun, between Tien Tsin. and Pekin. The commanders of the other powers will also select Yang Tsun for, the same purpose because of the facilities or reaching It by railway .nd river. Many boxers have been captured io this city. Pro.foreign Chinese say many boxers are entering the city dis guised. Provost marshal courts -' are ladministerjaig the affairs" of the city. All boxers are executed . . ALL OBJECT TO TUAN. London, Sept. 28. The Morning Post's Berlin correspondent says the Chinese situation has entered a new phase. It is felt in Berlin, he adds, that the situation created by the reap pearance of Prince Tuan as the lead ing Chinese authority must be dealt with Von Waldersee and not by the ministers. The correspondent states hjiis informed the government regards Tuan's appointment to the privy coun cil as an incontrovertible proof that the Chinese are not yet ripe for peace negotiations. This view is shared by France and Japan. MORE MISSIONS DESTROYED . Hong Kong, Sept. 27. The American Presbyterian and Catholic missions at Shek Lung, on the seast river, have been destroyed. The priest in charge of the Catholic mission escaped and was pro tected by a mandarin. Numerous -anti-Christian disturb ances are taking place in the provinces of Kwang -Si and Kwang Ting. The authorities are employing active meas ures to suppress the outbreaks and there have been several executions. Native Christians are nocking to Can ton. SITUATION SERIOUS. New York, Sept. 27. A despatch to the Herald from Shanghai says: "The situation in China is now more serious than ever. The Chinese gov ernment is in the power of the boxer leaders, who are not likely to submit to the empress dowager opinions unfa vorable to them. - x The viceroys of the south .are still loyal to the throne and any foreign ag7 gressions in southern China will pre cipitate an armed uprising. Already the government of Ngonhwei province has addressed a memorial to the enipres dowager declaring that his signature to the viceroys' agreement with the foreign consuls in Shanghai was forged.- There Is. danger that the friendly viceroys will be replaced.

Russia is holding all the forts and strategical points from Taku to Pekin, Russia's possession of the railways shows by the prominent, arrangement which her officers are making that she intends to swallow the north, of China. Germany's assurance7 that she does not desire territory in China if the lat ter be able to pay an indemnity is mis leading. Her demand for tlfe punish ment of the leaders of the boxers as a condition precedent to peace negotia tions means coninued var and perhaps the complete disruption of the Chinese government. Friendly feeling between Russia and Japan is increasing. France is hand in glove with Rus sia. The United States is consistent but powerless. SALISBURY'S POSITION. London, Sept. 27. The"statement that Lora Salisbury had verbally an swered the German' ambassador, Count Von Hatzfeldt-Wildenburg in the same terms as the United States government used in replying to the German note regarding China, has called forth many denials throughout Europe. In the first place, it may be reiterated that Tuesday last the British premier told the German ambassador here that Germany's idea of the surrender of the author of the outrages as a precedent to peace negotiations was not feasible.. Though this was intended as a refusal of what is regarded in Downing street as the only really important feature of the German note, it was not accepted as such by the German ambassador on the ground that Lord Salisbury did "jiot formally" answer the note, and left the latter part of the German pro posal (i. e.), that the ministers at Pekin should designate the offenders, unanswered pending an hourly expect ed message from Sir Claude MacDon ald, the British minister at Pekin. The formal pronouncement may be stayed off at the last .moment by Ger many receding from the position she has taken up and submitting to a com promise. If such is the oase( and a high German official in London has al ready hinted that it might come about) it is only natural that Berlin and the other capitals in accord with Germany will use every effort to conceal the fact that Germany was coerced into a com promise arrangement by the actionof Great Britain and -the United States.' MOVEMENT OF CHINESE WARSHIPS CAUSES ANXIETY Cruisers Despatched to Protect Trans ports Bearing Troops. Berlin, Sept. 27. A St. Petersburg despatch states' that all Chinese ports, especially Fuchow and Canton are blockaded by a Chinese fleet consisting of two warships six floating 'batteries and four gunboats.

The attor neys for James Howard had not com pleted their motion for a new tijial early this morning but some of the af fidavits on which the motion is to be based were filed. Most of them relate to alleged expressions of the Jurors prior to trial of the case. One by B. L. Guffey, son of Judge Guffy; of the court of appeals, is newly discovered eidence to the effect that a few minutes after the shooting of Goebel he went into the executive building and saw a man there who appeared to be in charge of the door and whom he described as a low, stout mon with a slouch hat and short dark moustache, carrying a 38 calibre Winchester rifle. . He says the man was not James Howard and that Howard did not appear there while the affiant was in- the building,, several hours. The facts, -he says, he never communicated to any' one before now. Howard is indignant over the state ment of Robert Noaks that he told the la'tter that "if they did not meet on earth again they would meet in hell." He says Noaks statement is false.
