The secretary and Admiral Crownin-
shield returned to the navy depart
ment, where the necessary orders were
dispatched to Admiral Remey. The ef-
feet of this transfer is to make Taku

FRENCH MARINES AND BATTERY.

received here from Saigon (the capital
of French Cochin China). says the
French armored cruiser auban and
the transport Caravane have sailed
north with FIVE hundred marines and
battery Of artillery.

China result in war between the Pow
ers, in which the United States might
become involved, Admiral Dewey would
be the first TO apply for fsea service.
The admiral will not say this. for he Is
hopeful that the question can be settled
without conflict among the nations.
When told that Rear Admiral Remey
had been ordered TO Taku TO take SUI
preme command. and OF the dispatch
from Rear Admiral Kempff, stating
that the American force had fallen into
an ambuscade.
II am very sorry TO hear that some
OF our men have been killed." said the
admiral but | can understand how II
occurred While | have never gone from
Taku 10 Tien Tsin. II has been reported
TO me that the road is very narrow
one. fanked on both sides by paddy
fields and swamps.
"Barricaded and defended. it Is the
kind OF road that can be held by a
small force, and there Is no means for
an enemy to flank them. For some rea-
son. the gunboats do not appear to
have gone up the Pei-Ho. The Mono
cacy can proceed as far as Tien- -Tsin.
and I notice that she has crossed the
bar at Taku. The failure OF the gun
boats 10 enter the Pei-Ho may arise
from the fact that the channel Is NIL
ing up.
THE Chinese don't dredge. you know:
In fact they are anxious that the cham
mel should be blocked. to keep out the
foreigners. The Monocacy ought to do
good work at Tien-Tsin. She is equip
ped with a first -class battery for
opera ting against the Chinese. and can
accommodate a large force OF men.
The roads In china are very much
like those OF Iuzon. Before the rail-
road connecting Tien-Tsin and Pekin
was built transportation was primi-
tive. Visitors to Pekin were conveyed
carts over narrow roads 20 their des-
tination. As the railroad was de-
stroyed. Vice Admiral Scymours coll
