WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE.
The International Forces Nearing the
 North Capital.

Washington, Aug. 13- The Amer ican commander in China, in a dis patch of just three words, received at the war department late this after noon, sent a thrill of eXultation and ex- pectancy throughout official quarters by announcing his arrival at Ho Si Wu only thirty-thrye miles from PeIlin last Thursday. The last heard from him before this was at Yang Tsun. which had been captured after a hard fight. and word of his movements since then had been eagerly awaited. On Thurs day he was eighteen miles beyond Yang Tsun. Lang Fang. the place where the ill-fated Seymour expedition met it's fate ard turned back. had b en left behind.
 The battle of Yang Tsun was fought on the 9th and the advance to Ho Si Wu was accomplished on the 9th, march of eighteen miles in three days. This was four days ago, and at the same rate of progress Chaf- fee is even now fairly within striking distance of the walls of Pekin. It was the communication which the war de- partment had awaited calmly. as it occurred according to calculations. aI-
 
 rapid than was expected. Brief as the dispatch is, it conveys much informa- ton beyond that specifically contained in it's few words. Although it is not stated what force has arrived. the war department accepts it to mean that this is the international force which first took Pei Tsang, and then Yang Tsun. It has gone steadily forward 1 ha 1aFt ha kee ping on the main road which skirts the river bank.
 At Yang Tsun the railway crosses the river and branches off to the west. Now the forces have left the railway far in the rear and are depending upon the highway and river. Ho Si Wu is a place of considerable size and the largest town between Tien Tsin and Ching Chi Wan. The latter place and Tung Chow are two cities of consider able size in the line of advance after leaving Ho Si Wu. It is surrounded by orchards and gardens and is not a place likely to have afforded oppor- tunity for strong defense. It is the highest point on the Pei river. where river water is depended on. as the na- tive wells are the source of supply in the remainder of the route to Pekin. As 1t has now taken five days for Chaffee to report the advance~to Ho Sf Wu, 1t is evident that wire communi- eaton is not open to the front This was hardly to be expected and the safe arrival of the message a least shows that certain means of communication are open. One of the sources of con graduation among officials is that the fanatic hordes of Chinese have not materialized, or at least have not pre- vented the international column from drawing close to the gates of Pelzin.
