On Bis War to Pekin Finest Teasel Lost.
Washington, Nov. 22—In aooord-
anoewltha suggestion of Japan, the
state department has notified Ministers
Dan at Toklo and Denby at Pekin, to
transmit direct any offer that China
may wish to make to Japan. The
Chinese legation her* is not notified
what coarse Its government will take.
An Associated Press oable from
Japan stated that China has intimated
a willingness to pay an indemnity of
100.000. 000 taels and in addition all war
expenses incurred by Japan. As the
war expenses will reach 150,000,000
taels, the total offer of China would be
250.000. 000 taels. The tael is a Chinese
silver ooin worth about 75 cents at the
present exchange.
It is believed here that arrangements
between the two cations oould be ef-
fected on terms providing for a smaller
indemnity. Diplomats say under or-
dinary circumstances it would take
some time for China to formally pres-
ent its offer to Minister Denby, but
owing to the fact that the Japanese
are now at the walls of Port Arthur and
about to make the last blow at China's
greatest fortress, it Is anticipated
China may hurry negotiations to a con-
clusion.
DeoltiT* Blow Kx pec tad.
Washington, Nov. 22—The advanoe
on Port Arthur la regarded as having
an Important bearing on the peace ne-
gotiations Lieutenant Miyoka, naval
attaohe of the Japanese legation here,
says the advanoe movement has been
most cantlons, as the gronnd for forty
miles around Port Arthur has besn
found fairly alive with powder mines
oonneoted with eleotrlo wires to oper-
ate together.
Three days ago the Japanese were
within a day’s march of tne fortress
but it was nsosssary to send ahead a
small scouting party to piok a routs
away from the mines of eleotrio wires.
It ts regarded as likely this oautlous
march will have been completed today,
and the Japanese legation Is honrly
expecting word that the decisive blow
has been strnok, though a; long setge
may be neoessary, as the fortress has
one of the strongest defenses of mod-
ern times.
admonition npon the subject from his
ecclesiastical superior. Father Duoey
has denied that he has appealed to the
higher authority of Mgr. Satolll. "I
feel entirely competent” said Father
Duoey, "in the present juncture of
affairs, to maintain the freedom and
Independence that bolougs to my
priestly and person*' character.”
When asked if he wontl attend fatnre
sittings of the Lexow commission ho
evaded the question frying: “At pres-
ent I am a soldier in the ranks. I may
protest in my own mind against the
no rightful demands of a superior. I
may obey while 1 am in notion under
that superior officer, though feeling
that he is violating every individual
right. Having yielded obedience in
aotion I have it in my power to protest,
by acts after tbe fight is over, and T
may be one of the ‘ins' or ‘onts.’'
He added, If summoned to give testt-j
mony he wonld be pleased to go before
the commission.

and other things. He said: "A shot
fired by some person outside was fol-
lowed by a ory. 'all together,’ and a
terrific blow opened the sonth door
four feet, when I gave the command to
fire. After the flrBt volley I gave the
command to oease firing. None of our

At Guatemala they say the Mexioan
