TEE Mill Official ft)*33 A(iES Steps Will Be Taken By Govern ment to Supply Lines. 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. COULDN’T HAPPEN I.\ r BOSTON. 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.” B J w A Pale Face U a prominent symptom of vitiated blood.

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.
