FORCES TO WINTER IN CHINA
Fifty Americans Arrive at Tien
Tsin Direct From Pekin—Siege
Battery Not Needed.
Several communications reached
Washington Tuesday from the United
States officials in China, but being
without dates in most cases, the gov
ernment was by no means satisfied
with the state of communications and
the cabinet meeting held Tuesday af
ternoon give the larger part of its at
tention to the problem of rectifying
this state of affairs.
Evidence of interference with the
messages have accumulated to a point
where the government has determined
to take steps to establish channels of
its own nnd to employ the rather ex
pensive device of a man of war plying
between Shanghai and Che Foo for
this purpose. Either the New Orleans
or the Princeton will be ordered on
this duty.
Meanwhile word comes that rapid
progress is making with the short ca
ble which is to connect these points,
and it is believed that within a week
this means of communication will be
open.
Three messages from General CLaffee
were reoeived Tuesday and, w hile they
cast no direct light on the military sit
uation, they were inferentinlly import
aut. One was as follows:
“Taktt, Chinn, Adjutant Gen
eral, Washington: Siege battery
not needed. Chaffee.”
The dispatch is in reply to an in
quiry sent some time ago to General
Chaffee relative to the siege battory
which was taken from Manila to Nag
asaki to be sent to China if needed.
Announcement was received of the
arrival of the Garonne with eight
companies of the First cavalry aboard
at Kobe, Japan, and a companion ship
with animals for the troopers. An
order was sent from here to the gov
ernment’s agents at Kobe to divert the
cavalry and their animals from that
port to Manila, instead of allowing
them to proceed to Taku, according to
their original orders.
General Chaffee’s statement that he
needs no siege battery, taken in con
nection with the diversion of the
First cavalry which was bound for
Taku to Manila, seems to make clear
that there is no intention to enter into
a prolonged campaign iu China, such
as would involve the use of heavy
artillery, or of re-enforcemonts in the
shape of men and horses.
DIRECT FROM TIEN TSIN.
Tien Tsin, August 25, Via Takn,
August 27.—Fifty Americans, includ
ing the Misses Condin-Smith, Wood
ward and Paine, have arrived here
from Pekin, which city they left five
days ago by boat. The commissary de
partment is preparing to establish au
extensive wiuter base at Tong Ku.
Lieutenant Waldrou, of the Ninth
United States infantry, received a seri
ous snipiug wound while patrolling at
Hoshiru (?) (Hoo Se Woo).
The Russians, Germans and Japan
ese are constantly pushing troops on
to Pekin.
Officers who have arrived here from
Pekin report that General Chaffee,
commanding the Amerieau forces in
China, is making all the necessary
preparations to maintain 15,100 men
through the winter.
Fifteen of the American wounded,
including the marines wounded dur
ing the siege of the legations, have ar
rived here by boat from Pekin.
Mgers (?) (possibly Captain Myers),
of the United States marine corps, is
suffering from typhoid fever and can
not be moved. A large batch of refu
gees is due here tomorrow.
The American signal service corps,
co-operating with that of the British,
has completed the telegraph line from
Pekin to Taku.

Mins Jrwvtt Cominenti on the Sentiment
That Cdusml the Akrou Hint.
Lillian Clayton Jewett, president of
the Jewett Auti-Lyncking League,
comments thus:
“Sentiment against the negro seems
to be growing in the north. For in
stance, take the terrible actions of the
New York police, when they so bru
tally bandied tbe negroes with whom
they came in contact during their re
cent riot. New York lias a great dea’
to answer for. I think it would be
almost impossible for such riots as
have occurred in Akron aud New York
to occur here in Boston.”

BOERS FIGHT HARD
Roberts Reports Bloody Engage
ments With Big Forces.
GROUND IS STUBBORNLY CONTESTED
Kruger’. Force. Have Many Dig Gun.
and the Country la Suitable For
Their Tactic.
The following dispatch was received
in London Monday from Lord Rob
erts:
“Belfast (Sunday), August 26.
Engaged the enemy the greater part
of the day over a perimetre of nearly
thirty miles. Littleton’s division and
two brigades of cavalry, all under
Bailer, operated southwest of Dala
manutha. French, with two brigades
of cavalry, moved northwest of Bel
fast, driving the enemy to Lekenvly,
on the Belfasfc-Lydenburg road. As
soon as French reached Lekenvly
Pole-Carew advanced from Belfast in
support. The enemy, in considerable
strength, opposed Buller’s and Pole-
Carew’s advance. He brought three
long toms and many other guns and
pompons (quick-firing guns) into ac
tion. The firing, until dark, was hot
and persistent,
“Biiller hopes his casualties will not
exceed forty. Pole-Carew has not yet
reported. The Boers are makings de
termined stand. They have a large num
ber of guns, the country is difficult
and well suited for their tactics and is
less favorable to cavalry than any we
have hitherto worked over.
“Our casualties yesterday (Sunday)
were wonderfully few, considering the
heavy firing and the number of hours
we were engaged. Buller estimates
his loss at two killed and twenty-four
wounded. His troops had to bivouac
where they stopped after darkness fell,
and accurate returns are as yet impos
sible.
“The casualties of the force operat
ing north of Belfast were three killed
and thirty-four wounded.”
HALF THE GUNNERS KILLED.
During General Buller’s recent at
tack, according to The London Daily
Mail’s correspondent at Lourenzo
Marques, tbe Boers lost heavily. Half
the gunners of the Bethel commando
were killed, as well as its commander,
Commandant von Dalwif, a cousin of
Herr Krupp.
“A counoil of war of the Boers at
Machadodorp,” says the correspond
ent, “decided against the advice of
Commandant General Botha to return
to tbe original plan of retiring on Ly
denburg.”
Former President Steyn and Com
mandant Delarey are reported to have
had an interview with Mr. Kruger last
Saturday at Watervalouder.
General Pole-Carew into touch
with the Boers at their main position
at Dalmanutha on Saturday and shell
ed a plantation east of Belfast. The
Boers replied with loug range guns.
General French, on General Buller’s
flank, exchanged shots with the Boers,
but no damage was done. An artil
lery duel occurred on the British front
also, the twelve pounders bombarding
tbe Boers’ position and the latter dis
playing great enterprise in handling
their guns, which were placed in
strong position. The enemy evidently
intends to contest stubbornly the
ground between here and Machado
dorp.
CONGER TO M’KINLEY.
Mlni.ter Iteplie. to Congratulatory Me.-
■ age On Deliverance of Legationera.
The president on August 19th wired
Minister Conger as follows:
“The whole American people re
joice over yonr deliverance, over the
safety of your companions of our own
and of the other nations, who have
shared yonr perils and privations, the
fortitude and courage which you have
all maintained and the heroism of your
little band of defenders. We all mourn
for those who have fallen and acknowl
edge the goodness of God, which has
preserved yon and guided the brave
army that set you free.
“William McKinley.”
Monday evening tbe president re
ceived this message from Conger:
“The President, Washington—All
Americans here thank you for con
gratulations and successful efforts for
onr relief, and bless God for final de
liverance. Conger.”
