CAPTURE OF YANG
TSUNG MONDAY
BY THE ALLIES

can Casualties at About
Sixty Men.
REALADVANCENOTBEGUN
Merely a Reconnoisance in Force to
Prepare the Way For the
Main Movement.
THIS WILL BEGIN ON THE FIFTEENTH
Fifty Thousand Men Will Then Begin the March
on Pekin. A Message From the French
Min is'er at That Place Puts the
Number of Foreigners There
Awaiting Rescuse at 800.
(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, August 9.—The cap
ture of Yang Tsun, the final objective
point of the international forces, was
the supreme news of importance re
ceived today on the Chinese situation.
The first word of this capture eject
ed last Monday, came in a brief dis
patch to the signal office at the War
Department from Colonel Scriven, the
signal ofgeer at Che Foo, saying:
“Che Foo, August 9th.
“Signals, Washington.
August 6th. —Yang Tsun, captured
today. Wire up. Need own transpor
tation. All well.
(Signed) “SCHIUVEN.”
Half an hour after this message, a
cablegram came from (General Chaffee
giving additional details of the cap
ture, and showing that it had been
at the cost of about sixty casualties
among the American tifiops. General
Chaffee’s dispatch is as follows:
“Yang Tsun, August 6tli, 1900.
“Yang Tsun dfccupied today. Wound
ed, Second Lieutenant Frank It. Long,
Ninth Infantry, moderate; casualties
about' 60 men, Ninth U. S. Infantry;
Fourteenth U. S. Infantry and Battery
F, Fifth U. S. Artillery. Nearly ail
from Fourteenth infantry. Names
later. Many men prostrated, heat and
fatigue.
(Signed) “CHAFFEE.”
Hardly less important was a dis
patch from General Terauchi, second
in command on the Japanese staff,
sent to the War Office of Japan, and
transmitted to the legation here, stat
ing that the international army would
total 50,000 men on August 15th at
which time the real advance on Pekin
would begin. General Terauchi’s dis
patch stated that on the 4th, w-hen it
was forwarded, the advance had not
yet begun. This was at first incom
prehensible, in view of the fact that
lighting has actually occurred.
But the later statement that the in
ternational force would total 50.000
men on the 15th, appears to make
dear General Terauchi’s meaning and
to reconcile it with General Chaffee’s
disnatches. The present movement,
of some 16,000 men, doubtless is view
ed in the light of a reconnoisance in
force, the main movement of the army
of 50,000 to follow on the 15th. Thi<
makes clear the meaning of General
Chaffee’s dispatch, that Yang Tsun
was to be the objective point. The
War Department here has been consid
erably puzzled over this statement of
an objective ]>oint, far short of Pekin.
It. would appear, however, from Gen
eral Teraudii’s dispatch that the first
force of 16,000 men having opened up
communications to Yang Tm.ii,
brought forward supplies, and estab
lished this advance base, the way
would then be clear for the advance
of the larger force on the 15th. The
capture of Yang Tsun is therefore an
important strategic branch of the fast
maturing military plans. The place is
about eighteen miles beyond Tien
Tsin and little less than a. quarter of
the way to Pekin. Colonel Schriveil’s
statement: “Wire up,” contains much
meaning, as it is accented as showing
that, there is direct telegraphic com
munication with the army in the field.
Aside from the assurance this gives of
s]>eedy transmission of news from the
front, it gives the additional assurance
that the line of communication is in
tact back to the first base of opera
tions. The capture of Yang Tsun on
the day following the battle of Pcit
Sang is regarded as a highly success
ful military achievement, and espe
cially in view of the fact that it was
looked upon as a stronghold whose
capture might give the foreigners
considerable trouble.
Aside from the military develop
ments of the day, the diplomatic a.s-
T»eet of the crisis was made clear by
the publication of the demand made
by the United States on the Imperial
Government of China, and transmitted,
to Minisiter Wu last- evening. The
document is as follows:
THE AMERICAN DEMAND.
“We are availing ourselves of the
opportunity offered by the imperial
edict of the fifth of August, allowing
to the foreign Ministers free com
munication with their resoecfiive Gov
ernments in cipher, and have sent a
communication to Minister Conger, to
which we await an answer.
“We are already advised by him, in
a brief dispatch received August 7th
that imperial troops are firing daily
ujkju the Ministers in Pekin. eW de
mand the immediate cessation of hos
tile attacks by imperial troops upon
the legations, and urge the exercise
of power and energy of the Imperial
Government for the protection of the
legations and all foreigners therein.
“We are also advised by the same
dispatch from Minister Conger, that
in liis opinion, for the Ministers to
leave Pekin as proposed in the edict
of August 2nd would be certain death.
In view of the fact that imperial
troops are now firing upon the lega
tions, and in view of the doubt ex
pressed by the Imperial Government
in its edict of August 2nd as to its
I tower to restore order and secure ab
solute safety in Pekin, it is evident
that this apprehension is well founded,
for if your Government cannot pro
tect our Minister in Pekin, it will pre
sumptively be unable to protect him
upon a journey from Pekin to the
coast.
“We therefore urge upon the Impe
rial Government that it. should adopt
the course suggested in the third
clause of the letter of the President
to His Majesty with the relief expedi
tion so that co-operation may be se
cured between them for the liberation
of the legations, the protection of for
eigners and the restoration of order.
Such action on the part of the Impe
rial Government would be a. satisfac
tory demonstration of its friendliness
and desire, to attain these ends.
(Signed) “ALVEY A. AD EE,
“Acting Secretary, Department of
State.
“Washington, August Btli, 1900.’’
Minister Wu worked assidiously on
the message during the day, transmit
ting it first from English to Chinese,
and then from Chinese into the cipher
code of China. Owing to the gravity

Populist National Executive
Com, Minus its Head,
Fears That He May Take the Bit Be? en His
Teeth and Attempt to Prevent Steven
son’s Nomination.
(By the Asociated Press.)
Chicago, August 9.—The Populist Na
tional Executive Committee hold two
sessions here today, but contrary to ex
pectations Senator Marion Butler, of
North Carolina, the chairman of t.he Na
tional Committee, was not present, and
no one seemed to knew whether he would
come to Chicago for the meeeting. Harry
Tracey,, of Texas, was the only other
member of t'he committee who was not
present.
The committee discussed informally the
withdrawal of Charles A. Towne, the
Populist candidate for Vice President, but
the members did not fix upon a date for
the calling together of the entire Na
tional Committee. The Executive Com
mittee has no power to fill the vacancy.
This must be done by the National Com
mittee, and it is apparently expected that
it will meet before long and select Adlal
E. Stevenson as the Populist candidate
for Vice President. There seemed to be
a good deal of apprehension among the
members of the committee in regard to
the attitude of Senator Butler on the
Vice Presidential situation. There has
been a strong rumor to the effect that
the North Carolina Populist would take
the bit between his teeth and insist that,
a Populist be named for Vice President
on the Populist ticket. It is said that a
member of the committee takes the other
view of ithe situation and believes Mr.
Bryan will be able to win over Senator
Buitle.r in case the latter takes a.n antag
onistic stand regarding the selection of
Mr. Stevenson. J. G. Johnson, chairman
cf the Democratic National Committee,
was in conference for a short time with
the Populists.

“To the Democrats of the United
States
“The Democratic party and its friends
must meet the forces of corruption and
intimidation in politics this year by
thorough organization. A Democratic
club or society should be organized in
every city, town, village and precinct in
the United States. Democrats, and. all
who arc in sympathy with the principles
set forth in the Kansas City platform
are earnestly urged to join in the Demo
cratic clubs and when none exists to as
sist in organizing them. This work in
uniting the forces of law and liberty
into one great systematized civic army
should be carried on simultaneously in
every part of the country without delay.
The friends of the Government,according
to the hitherto unchallenged American
theory of political equality everywhere
under our flag cannot afford to less
zealous or less active than the advocates,
of an American colonial empire suppor
ted by rifles. No patriotic citizen can
ignore the attacks which are being made
upon the very foundations or our present
irreproachable form of government.
This year every citizen should
be a politician. Clubs and so
cieties should at once communi
cate with the ‘Secretary of the National
Association of Democratic Clubs, 1370
Broadway, New York City, so that the
united membership may work systemati
cally in defense of the Republic as the
fathers made it. All Democratic commit
tees, State and local, are requested to
aid the National Association of Demo
cratic clubs in this work.

At Lebanon, Ind., the only stop was
made of any duration on the run of the
Bryan-Stevenson party from Indianapolis.
There the candidates showed themselves
to the crowd which had assembled and
shook hands with many. Each of them
spoke a few words, but they were mere
pleasantries. Mr. Bryan said:
“We are just returning from the notifi
cation and we found the Indiana people
clown there not only present in number,
bint they brought their enthusiasm with
them. The work commenced yesterday
will be increased in energy and vigor
until election day and then we* expect
to hear from Indiana on the matter of
that election.”
Mr. Stevenson said:
“I am very much gratified to be able to
inform you, gentlemen, that Mr. Bryan has
accepted the nomination. It has been a
matter of doubt whether he would or not,
but we have got him on record and he
has accepted.”
To this Mr. Bryan said: “Btlt I would
not do it until Mr. Stevenson consented
to run with me.”
Thy remarks were accepted by the
crowd with laughter and they cheered the

The “Palestro” Strikes Up
on That Fatal Reef.
SHE IS A BRITISH VESSEL
There Are Now Twelve Feet of Water
in Her Hold.
THERE IS LITTLE HOPE OF SAVING HER
Life Saving Crews Go to the Ship’s Assistance.
A Dense Smoke in the Early Part of
the Day Hid Her From
Their View.
(By the Associated Press.)
Cape Henry, Va., August 9.—The fol
lowing wreck report is received front
Weather Bureau Observer Dosher, at
Hatteras, N. C.:
“The British steamer Palestro, Cap
tain Armstrong, from Pensacola for Liv
erpool via Newport News for coal, strand
ed at 9 o’clock this morning on Diamond
Shoals. Six men have just landed at
Cano Hattcras and Greed’s Hill Life
Saving Station, who went to the assist
ance of -the ship.
“A dense smoke has prevailed in this
locality all day, until this afternoon about
2 o’clock, when it lifted and the ship
was discovered by the life saving crews.
The second mate who came ashore in the
ship’s boat, reports 12 feet of water in
the main hold and thinks it doubtful if
the ship can be saved.”
The weather Bureau Official Dosher,
at Hatteras, reports that the remainder
of the crew, 24 men, of ithe stranded
British steamship Palestro were safely
landed at Cape Hatteras tonight by the
life savers from the Creed's Hill and
Cape Hptteras station and the entire
crew cf thirty men are now being cared
for by Captain Etheridge, of the Cape
Hatteras station.
At 6 o'clock this evening the ship had
27 feet cf water in iher hold and was
fast settling, her forward position being
then nearly all under water. She lies
about 12 miles southeast of Cape Hat
beras lifeht-house on the outer Diamond,
and heir position and condition are such
that nothing can be done toward saving
either the ship or cargo and both will
prove a total loss. The accident as be
fore reported, was due to the unusually
smoky weather, which, prevailed this
morning.
END OF POWERS TRIAL NEAR.
It is Believed the Defence Will Complete Its
Testimony Today.
(By the Associated Press.)
Georgetown, Ky., August 9. —It is be
lieved the defense will complete tomor
row its testimony in behalf of former
Secretary Powers charged with complicity
in the Goebel shooting.
Colonel Campbell, of the prosecution
stated that his side will consume only
one day in hearing rebuttal proof. There
will be four speeches on each side when
the evidence is finished.
Whether the trial of Henry Youtsey.
another alleged conspirator, will be ta
ken up following the Powers trial or will
be laid over has not yet been decided.
In today's session of the Powers case
the business of impeaching and contra
dicting witnesses continued. The prose
cution claims to be well satisfied with
the testimony of Surveyor Coolman, who
was introduced by the defense. They de
clare that they have proved by his dem
onstration that the shot, if fired from
the lower sill of the second window in the
office of the Secretary" of State, would
have passed through the body at the
same point as shown by Goebel's wounds.
During the afternoon session the pro
ceedings were again interrupted by a
spat between Mr. Owens, of the defense
and the court which resulted in an
other $lO fine.
The prosecution cross-examined Sur
veyor Coolman, again going over the
greater part of the ground covered by
him yesterday. The defence had shown
by the witness that the bullet, if fired
from the Secretary of State's office
passing through Goebel's body at 1 3-16
inches depression to the foot would have
entered the ground near the fountain
and that bullet cut out of the hackberry
tree could not be the one fired by the
assassin. The prosecution sought to break
down this contention, and the cross-ex
amination was strung out at great length.
Ex-State Auditor L. S. Stone was re
called by the prosecution for the purpose
of laying foundation for a contradiction
of his testimony regarding W. H. Cul
ton whom Colonel Stone, while on the
stand last week, accused of stealing sl,-
000. Stone was asked if he did not tell
Jailer Pflanz in Louisville in March that
Culton was “an honorable young man and
could be trusted anywhere.” He admit
ted part of the conversation but denied
that it was in such broad terms.
Robert Noakes, re-called, denied the
substance of a number of alleged conver
sations.
Nelson Cummings testified as to the
character of members of the Corbin mil
itary company which Noakes had testified
was made up of disreputable persons as
in accordance with instructions toom
Powers. He said the men with whom
he was acquainted bore good reputa
tions.
L. F. Sinclair, one of the attorneys for
the defense, testified as to an alleged
conversation with .Wharton Golden in
PRICE FIVE CENTS,
April, in which he sakl Culton and Yout
sey were fools to have confessed as they
-'ould get nothing for it. Witness said
-as in the hallway of the executive
/?»/fYben the assassination occurred,
unded to him as if fired from
4 J j, ' building. He saw no
one *0 r or at The door. Wit
ness "Tut. . . into the Governor's
reception ro. * And met Governor Tay
lor, who was standing in the door of hits
office. He was very much excited. Wit
ness pushed him aside into the office and
pulled the, door to. Governor Taylor
had a pistol.
Witness and Taylor walked over to a
window and saw the body lying on the
pavement. Witness recognized it as Goe
bel. On cross-examination witness ad
mitted that he testified before the April
grand jury at Frankfort but did not
upon that occasion t*-!! of things he had
related on the stand this afternoon.
