cHAFFEE MAY DE PROMOTED.
Likely to Ec Made "a Major General if
1t iS Possible.

The proposed heavy increase of the Amer
lean army in China gives an air of proba-
bility to a rumor that 1t is the purpose of
X. Chaffee, the officer selected for that COM
mand. Gen. Chaffee is now a brigadier gen
eral Of volunteers, and as there will be a
division of troops in China, it Is said that
he will be raised to the rank of a major
general of volunteers If it can be done un-
der existing conditions. If there is no va
cancy to which he can be appointed it is not
improbable that Gen. Miles recommenda-
ton will be followed in the assignment of
Maj. Gen. Bates to the command of the
forces in China. Gen Bates is now in COM
mand of a department in the Philippines,
and could reach the scene of action in a
short time. In that event 1t is also likely
that Brig. Gems. Hall and Grant might also
be detailed from the Philippines to assist
Gen. Chaffee in command of the brigades
of the Chinese force
Lii Hung Chang Sails for Hong Kong.
The Secretary of State has received a

WILD TALK OF REVENGE.
Journals Favor Hanging
the EmpreSs DOwREer.

European Journals Favor Hanging
the Empress DOwaGer.
LONDON, July 11.-European journals
are today ndulging in a great deal of wild
talk, crediting the powers with having de-
capital TO Canton and hang the empress
and Prince Tuan, but the writers fail to
take into account the difficulties which
would attend such undertakings. However,
the chancel!ories fully recognize the mag
nitude of the task confronting the great
powers. As a matter of fact, as has already
been pointed out in these dispatches the
only thought for the moment of the powers
is how best to reach Pekin. Once there,
they can be depended upon, according to
ever peEalty appears to be the most strik-
ing and effective.
This mornings news Of the success Of the
allied forces at Tien Tsin, though that
clear the air somewhat. This victory over
the Chinese, 1t is hoped, will enable the
allies to resume preparations for an ad-
vance, especially as today it IS officially
announced that the japanese force of -, 600
will all be disembarked by July 10 at the
latest. The suggestions of scattering the
forces throughout China in pursuit of the
Boxers emanate wholly from irresponsible
quarters. In official circles there is full
realization of the necessity of having the
coast towns occupied and secure before pro-
ceedng to Pekin. The only course open to
the powers is to remain in the capital until
fanaticism wears itself out and the ele-
ments of an orderly native government be-
gins to emerge.
According TO Shanghai dispatch pub
lished here today 10000 Chinese troops
armed with Mauser rifles and mod
ern artillery are encamped at three points
within forty miles of Shanghai, ready to
besiege the town in the event of an at
tack by the Europeans upon -Woo-sung
forts.
According to a telegram from Chefoo re-
ceived here today, 40 of the allied troops
were killed in the assault upon the native
city of Tien Tsin.

the Chinese, the Americans, French, Japan
ese and Welsh Fusiliers advanced toward
the native city and Joined with the other
attacking forces The Japanese infantry
and a mounted battery advanced to the
foot of the walls, supported by the Ameri-
cans and French Despite valiant attacks,
the allies Were only able to hold the posi-
tid rs gained outside the walls preparatory
TO snewing the assault in the morning.
TIE casualties sustained by the allies
were exceedingly heavy, especially those to
the Americans. French and Japanese.
Several eXposions in the native city were
caused by the bOmbardment.
