IF ALLIES ADVANCE.
The Chinese Must Fight So Declares Ii
Hung Chang.

London, August s, 3.45 a. MIN case
fight. The suggestion that the allies
should be allowed to enter Pekin in order
to rescue the ministers Is absolutely i'm
possible y
This is the dlctum OF Ii Hung Chang.
1t was transmitted last night to Mr..
William Pritchard Morgan, member of
Parliament, by his agent at Shanghai.
The agent had carried to Earl Ii mes
sage from Mr.. Morgan ur ging that the
allied troops be allowed to enter the capt.
tai and said that a settlement could be
made at Tien Tsin whereby war OF the
world against China could be avertad
but even the optimistic Iii failed to hold
out the slightest hope of It's feasibility,
although he reiterated to Mr.. Morgan s
agent his declaration that the minister
had left Pekin fixing the date Of their
departure as August 2. The agent makes
this comment:
1.-THE consuIs are without contirma-
ton
These messages have been sent to Lord
Salisbury accompanied by statement
by Mr. Morgan urging that the allies
should take no step TO endanger the lives
OF the ministers, A message from the
Belgian minister dated Pekin, August 2
seems effectually to dispose of the runors
that the ministers have left or are intend
ing to leave Pekin.
The Chinese minister in London says
he has received a telegram from China
announcing that long imperial edict
issued on August 2 authorized the imms
diate and safe conveyance OF all EurOp-
cans in Pekin to lien Ysln.
Several dispatches are printed giving
hearsay evidence Of Sundays battle.
The Daily Mail correspondent at Che
Foo telegraphing Monday says:
The fighting lasted seven hours and
the allies, when my report left, were
pursuing the Chinese; but owing to the
floods progress was difficult
Thus the Chinese will have time to
reform and recover from the effects Of
battle. Only small garrison remains
with IA guns at lien Tsin, where some
anxiety is felt because of a report that
$4,000 Chinese are said to be moving two
days march to til southeast. y
All OF the correspondents agree IN prais-
ing the bravery and organization of the
Japanes8; but none of them bring the
story much beyond Gen. Chaffee' s report.
Ii Ping Hen, according to the Shang-
hal correspondent OF the Standard, has
been appointed generaIlssimO of the
Chinese forces and has left Pekin to
take command of the troops outside the
city.

AMERICANS IN LINE.
Are Taking Part In Advance on
Pekfn.

Washington, August THE informa-
ton which came today that American
troops We're engaged In the battle at
Pietsang, established positively for the
first time that Notwithstanding the
difficulties which Gen. Chaffee had en-
countered in debarking troops and sup
plies at least part and a considerable
part of our force is in the vanguard of
the forward movement. Gen. Chaffee' s
despatch to the War department conveyed
the most satisfactory evidences that the
commanders had thoroughly agreed in
advance upon plan of action and that
this plan had been followed as Gen.
Chaffee on Friday sent the cable saying
that the attack upon the Chinese at
PietSang would be made on Sunday,
the day on which the Admiral Remey
and the press correspondents say the
lighting occurred.
Gen. Chaffee'S announcement that the
present objective of the international
column is Yam Tsan is interpreted by
the officials at the war department to
mean that this point where river, rail
road and wagon road meet Is to be made
the advance base for the operations on
Pekin. The most positive additions to
the news OF the day was the brief line
from the Associated Press correspondent
at lien Tsin stating that the 9th and
14th infantry, Reilly's battery and the
marines were in the battle of Piet-
sang. 1t was this force which with~6he
BRUSH and Japanese bore the brunt of
the attack on the left flank which was to
turn the enemy's position. This plan
had already been made clear by General
Cbaffee' S despatch although he did not
mention what American troops would be
engaged. In view of the particiT alton
of the American troops the war and navy
der artIn6ntS are aDXlouSly eXpectant of
report Of the part taken by our troops
and any losses the AInaricans ma Y have
sustained. No light has yet been throWn
upon the subject of whether the COM
nanders OF the international forces have
agreed upon a commander. The
Chaffee despatch would seem to indicate
that none had been agreed upon. The
movement was planned evidently by the
commanders in conference and their re-
spective parts were agreed upon in ad-
vance. 1t is perhaps noteworthy and
significant that in this plan of attack
upon the enemy at Pietsang, the Ameri-
can, British and japanese forces were
Joined in the movement to turn the enc
nay S right flank, while the Russians
and French operated together on the Op-
p0site side OF the river againsj the enc
my's left. This may the line OF cleavage
among the allies, whose general dessen-
sions were recorded at rIen Tsin It is
also exceedingly significant that General
Chaffee does not mention the German
force at all, The war department. official
do not believe that this could have been
due to an oversight on his part II 1t was
arranged that they were to participate in
the movement. It therefore seem likely
that the Germans were not engaged at
Pietsan. Tt is thought that they may
be acting independently.
