fairs, this evening, a telegram which
he received to-day from the viceroy of

TO PEKIN.

General Chaffee and His Forces
viii Seek the Chinese Seat of
Government-Conger Still Silent.
Awaiting a Casualty List.
WASHINGTON, June 26.-The pur-
pose of the government to place an adj
equate military force in China was
made perfectly clear to-day when Or
ders were issued to Brig. Gen. Adna R.
Chaffee to take command of the forces
In China and to proceed at once to as
, sumo his new duties.
More significant probably than the
assignment itself was the wording of
the formal orders to Gen. Chaffee, is
sued late in the day by acting secretary
OF Ma Meiklejohn, directing him Ito
take command of the troops ordered to
China" and to proceed to Pekin by way
of San Francisco and Taku, accompan-
led by his aides. 1t had been expected
that the military forces would be CON
centrated at Che Foo or some other
convenient military base. but the di-
rection to proceed to Pekin the capitol
OF the Chinese empire, indicated a firm
determination on the part of the gov
eminent authorities to have a strong
military force at the seat Of the Chi
nese government.
The announcement of Gen Chaffee's
assignment, and the orders to proceed
to Pekin came after the State Depart
ment had declined to accede to a sec
ond proposition from six great viceroys
of China that foreign troops be kept
out of China until Ii Hung Chang
reaches Pekin. In more formal man
ner, with the signatures of the six vice
roys representing the greater part of
the empire, Minister WI repeated to-
day his plea of yesterday that the for
eign troops be kept out of the country.
Secretary Hay laid the formal request

forces to such points as were menaced
and where u officials and citizens
were in danger. While the viceroys
spoke for their provinces. they could
not speak for Pekin. and it is to Pekin
that the officials most a%nxiously look.
Minister Conger is still silent. and
the latest adviceS have shown that
little reliance can be placed on the
dispatches from Shanghai saying that
the ministers and legations at Pekin
were safe. For this reason the orders

kin took on an added meaning.
General Chaffee was in conference
with the war department Authorities
much of the day, and in the afternoon
spent nearly an hour with Secretary
Hay, going owe these phases. of the
Chinese situation, in which diplomacy
will have to be mingled with military
action.
Secretary Long received nothing
during the day beyond the early dis
patch from Admiral Kempff, stating
that the combined forces had entered

through your columns to correct

The impression intended to be con-
yeyed by the above articles is that the
'Leowa" was poorly built and OF 'aulty
construction, while the truth OF the
matter is that the men in charge OF her
were at fault and, from the manner IN
which they handled her. evidently CID
not understand even the first principles
of sailing yacht. The first time they
attempted to sail the "Leowa," without
my guidance, they capsized her IN the
harbor within a hundred yards OF the
wharf, and that they injured her m the
race is not to be wondered at. Then,
too. they hauled her up on the dry dock
while she vas full of water, and lett
her there without the proper supports.
To ask me to constantly mend her
leaks and injuries caused by such gross
carelessness without charge is rather
an unusual proposition to address TO

them, but they declined to sell 1T to me.
