Chafree Reports No Dispatches Received
since Aug. IL.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Adjutant
General Corbin has received dispatch
from General Chaffee, saying that he
(Chaffee) had received no dispatches
from General Corbin since Aug. IL
This was the date on which the allied
army attacked and entered Pekin.
Many dispatches have been sent by
General Corbin since that date and the
delay in their delivery is astonishing,
even with the strange conditions which
have existed in China. Like the Con-
ger dispatches the one from General
Ohaffee is undated. The only explana.
tion that can be made as to this lack Of
dates is that the dispatches have been
butchered en- route. probably on their
way through China.

Policy Of fSending No More Troops
10 That Country Is Being
Carried Out.
Washington Informed That OF
cial Messages to Chaffee
Are Delayed.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Action has
been taken by the war department car
rying out the recently announced pol
icy OF the government to send no more
troops to China at present. An order
was sent to the departments agents at
Kobe, Japan, to divert the First United
States cavalry and their animals from
that port to Manila, instead Of allowing
them to proceed to Taku according to
their original orders. The department.
was informed that the Chrome, with
eight companies Of the First cavalry
and the Packing with the animals OF
the organization, had arrived at Kobe.
Another important development over
night was General Chaffee's statement
that he had not heard from the war de.
partment since Aug. IA, fortnight
ago. News has come from China
within that period Of time and the fact
that nothing has gone forward to Chat
fee and without doubt Minister Oonger
is in the same state, goes to confirm
the officials here In the conviction that
the wires are being manipulated,
Probably by Chinese Agents
between Che Foo and Shanghai, the
cable connection. The discovery cer-
tainly will tend to hasten the construc.
ton Of projected cable connections be-:
tween Shanghai and Che Foo, thus
placing the entire control Of the circuit
from Washington to Pekin outside Of
Chinese officials at any point. The
subject may also be made the basis Of
some strong representations to Sheng,
