through the dykes which gridiron the
country thereabOuts. The Russian and
French forces were to attack the enemy's
left on the right bank of the river be-
tween the river and the railroad. This
makes 1t probable that the flooded dis
trict only extended to the line Of the rail-
road which at this point is about mile
and half from the river.
General Chaffee's dispatch also shows
another important feature of the plan Of
campaign agreed upon by the interna-
tional commanders. It is expected that
the present objective Of the column is
Yang Tsung. This is a town about is
miles beyond Pei Tsang, at the point
where the railroad crosses the Pei river
from the right on the way to Pekin. Once
In possession of this point, the interna-
tional force would have both the railroad
and river in its rear for keeping open
communication with Tien Tsin. 1t natu-
rally would become the advance base
from which the operations on Pekin
could be projected. At this point the
river veers to the right and from It the
column would have to move over and
along the line Of the river. The Chinese
evidently are as much impressed with
the strategic advantages of Yang Tsung
as the international commanders them
selves, as General Chaffee says in his ca
BILE that the enemy is reported 10000
strong at the crossing Of the road over
the Pei river. Without doubt after the
fight at Pei Tsang, the Chinese force
there, If the report of Admiral Remey
that 1t was forced to retreat proves cor
rect, retired to Yang Tsun. There is no
information as to the number OF the en-
emy which met the advance at Pei
Tsang, but judging from the casualties
to the International force, 1t must have
been large and may, perhaps, double the
Chinese army which the column must
encounter when 1t reaches Yang Fsun.
TIL general feeling at the war department
is that unless the Chinese generals have
been completely demoralized by the Pei
Tsang attack there is very severe fight

NATIONAL PARK I'm DANGER,
FIRE RAGING IN THE GREAT FOR
EST RESERVES.
Soldiers Fighting the Flames, but Are
Too Few to Make Much
Headway.

Helena, August 1.-THE big fire that is
raging in the Yellowstone National park
Is being fought by every soldier In the
park and all the men engaged in road con-
struction work. Deputy United States
Marshal Jackson. who has returned from
there and who reported the fire, said that
when he left 1t was reported that the fire
had extended for a distance of 10 miles and
was still spreading. Men who have been in
the park for years say 1t was the worst
they had ever seen. Deer and elk have
been driven out of the fire area by the
flames. Buildings in the upper geyser basin
are in danger. In the dense timber region
everything Ia unusually dry and winds are
carrying the flames with great rapidity. In
Marshal Jacksons opinion, 1t will be i'm
possible for the force engaged to make any
headway against the fire.
Later.-The forest fire started in the park
last Friday Is now under the control of the
soldiers. A heavy rain and hail storm
stayed the progress of the fire. which is
now confined to the Shoshone lake region.
8. s. Huntley. superintendent of the Park
Transportation company, who arrived here
this afternoon from Mammoth Hot Springs.
says that the fre Is now burning on the
Snake river. just south of Shoshone lake
and near the government forest reserve.
1t is 20 miles from the line of travel and Is
now we'll under control.
