London, August 24.— "Today 1,500
Americans attacked the im|«rial pal

Poet from Pekin, dated August 15,
“an-1 captured four ot the courts. The
Americans (lag is flying over the im
perial granary aud the imperial bank
has been looted."
Describing the relief, the Daily
Mail's correspondent cables:
"August 12, the Taung li Yamun
req nested a conference with a view to
j-eace.
No armistice was granted,
however, and that night we endured
the longest fusillade of the whole siege
It lasted 12 hours. August 13 th«
Taung li Yamun begged to be excused
from any conference, saying that th«
members were too busy. Later they
wrote that they had forbidden firing ot
us and would court-martial any wbc
disobeyed. During the evening many
shells fell in the legation grounds."
The Daily Chronicle publishes at
interview with the Japanese minister
in London, which i«presents him at
having said;
"The empress is the heart and mu
of China. As long as she lives, so long
as she remains in China, whether the
supreme power is taken from her oi j
not, she will always be the greatest
force, the one above all others to bt
reckoned with. The difficulty will I m
to get any one who can s|«ak for her.
I fear that the powers must come to a
final understanding quickly. Riots,
anarchv, bloodshed and misery through
out China will be the inevitable result
of the policy that does not immediately ,
disclose itself. The government must

be re-established."
The Jaapnese envoy expressed hit
approval of the reporte« 1 American sug

power« and said he believed that satis
