Yokohama, Aug. IL, via San Francis

the laurels her troops are winning in
China. Their feat Of blowing up the
gates of Tien Tsin was one of the most
daring. The wires which were to ig-
mite the gun cotton refusing to work,
one of the soldiers deliberately went up
to the gates, and applying II match was
blown into atoms as the gates came
down. A second soldier then climbed
over the inner wall, and in the dim
light of the morning opened the city to
his comrades, who swarmed in while
the astonished Chinese threw down
their arms and fled. Japan is quietly
sending more troops to China. Picked
men are being dispatched to supply the
constant losses. The large fleet of
transports is still In constant service

THE POWERS ARE
WATCHING EACH OTHER

Washington. Aug. 29.-After a Cabi-
net meeting to-day it was announced
that the government was in a waiting
attitude regarding the Chinese situa-
ton. The lack of late advices from Pc
kin and the falIure of the powers to
show their hands as to future policy
makes it necessary for this government
to await developments. The admins
tratiOn considers it of the greatest i'm
portance that in the negotiations for a
settlement of the Chinese diff
Guilty all the powers should act
in unison and harmOniously, and
its efforts are being directed to
that end. The powers, however. are
slow to declare themselves. Several re-
plies have been received to the instruc-
tions sent to our ambassadors and min
listers last week. asking them to sound
the government to which they are ac-
credited on two propOsitions-tirst, the
Willingness of these governments to
accept the sufiiciency of Ii Hung
Cbang's credentials to treat with the
powers for settlement, and, second, to
ascertain, if possible what the future
policy of each power is to be. Regard
ing the latter inquiry the replies thus
far have developed nothing. The pow
ers appear to be watching each other.

yet of their own. With regard to the

Our Attitude Toward China

Washington. August 24.-Regarding
the attitude of this government in case
serious differences among the powers
should arise as to their future course
in China, it was stated on authority
to-day that this government remained
opposed to any territorial division of
China. as was plainly stated in Secre
tary Hays note of July 3rd.
Every source of diplomacy will be ex-
hausted to prevent partition of the em-
pire, and it was said that the diversion
of American troops to Manila, already
announced by the War Department,
was practical evidence to the other
powers of the good faith of the United
States in this matter.
Our work in China has been accom-
plished in large part by the relief of the
legations, and our further obligation.
that of aiding to restore and maintain
peace, can be accomplished through the
troops already on Chinese soil.
