THE COURSE pursued by the Amer'-
can army In China is the same as that
it takes in the Philippines, that is, ao-
cordine to the dispatches received from
there. One yesterday stated that the
American troops the day before attack
ed village near TieDtsin and that five
OF them were wounded, but that they
killed three hundred Cinnamon and
captured sixty-four wounded ones, and
then burned the village. All of which
is of course highly conducive to the
spread Of Christianity and humanity
among the people Of that unfortunate

THE CHINESE TROUBLES.

President Mckinley is branching out
on holder lines in his treatment of the
Chinese situation. Though the Ameri-
cans in Pekin have been rescued, he
does not, according to Washington dis
patches, consider the programme I'm
ished, but proposes to prevent Russia
and Germany from carrying out their
own plans 10 China. In this his course
of action is parallel with that OF England
and JaDsn.
The President is now seriously con-
sdering the project of calling confer.
ence of nations to deal with the situa-
ton In China. He has heard with
deep distrust" unconfrmed reports
that Russia has declared war on China
and that Russia has been acting indie
pendently, to some extent, in Pekin.
The expected German expedition uD-
der Field Marshal Count Won Valdez
see also excites his suspicion. He
fears that these nations propose to get
some special advantage for themselves,
territorial or otherwise, in China, snd
this does not accord with his wishes. II
Russia or Germany takes any indepepd-
ent action in the case it is expected
that President Mckinley, together with
EDgland and Japan, will protest vigor.
ously.
An extra session of Congress, it is
stated in Washington, is considered un-
likely for the moment, as there is no
need of increasing General Chaffee's
forc-s. The President, it is now held,
can keep Chsffee's army quartered at
Tientsin or Taku for some time to come
without Congressional sanction. Pres
sure has been brought on the President |
to withdraw the troops from China al
together pending negotiations, but he |
is unwilling 10 do this.
The War department has received |
two dispatches from General Chafiee,
dated at Tientsin August 81 and %
rhe fact that they are dated at TieD.

Chaffee has returned there from Pekin.
