PRAISE FOR THE JAPANESE.
Copyright. 1900. by the Associated Press.
Shanghai. Monday, Aug 13.-The follow
ing dispatch has been received from our
correspondent with the allied forces, dated
Pei-Tsang August 5, and forwarded b?
mail to Che-Foo and Shanghai:
1.-THE glory Of to-day's fighting belongs
to the Japanese. They did all the hard
est fighting. The Americans were in re-
serve, and had no casualties. The Jap
anese, advancing across the plain, had no
shelter, and fianked the Chinese from
their strong mud walls and trenches ex-
tending five miles. The feature Of the bat
tie was the magnificent Japanese cavalry
charges, which resulted in the capture Of
ten field guns
1.-THE Chinese retreat was orderly, and
they left but few dead on the field. The
correspondent OF the Associated Press
counted 200 dead or wounded Japanese. The
British loss was two men killed and few
wounded.
1.-THE British naval brigade guns and two
big Russian guns had a duel with the
Chinese guns. which resulted in silencing
the latter.
1.-The Russians found the plains east Of
the river flooded. and joined the main army
west of it.
Every vehicle in Tien-Tsin is impressed

CANTON FORTS PREPARED.
London, Aug 14.-Secret inquiries at Can
ton show all the forts have been newly.

and that the garrisons number $1,000 men in
all, armed with Mausers and Winchesters.
The Chinese have also been trying to en-
gage a foreign electrician to lay mines in
the Bogue or entrance to the Canton River.
Doctor Marks. Ii Hung Chang's physi-

OREGON MAY RETURN.
Permanent Repairs to Be Made at
Mare Island.

Washington, Aug. I.-The question of
making the permanent repairs on the Ore
gon at home, instead Of in Japan, has been
discussed by some Of the authorities of the
Navy Department, and may result in her
being brought back to the Pacific Coast.
1t is pointed out By some of the naval ex-
perts that If ship of the Oregon's size
is needed on the Taku station it would be
necessary to send the Indiana to serve dur
ing the four months that it is estimated the
Oregon will be in dry dock. The repairs,
so far as the department is informed, will
amount to 100000, and it has been urged
that as the run to San Francisco could be
made in sixteen days, it wouli he better
to have the Oregon repaired where she was
built, anG where the department will feel
that absolutely satisfactory work can be
done. rather than have ner laid up for
four months at the Kure docks, in which
case the money for her repairs would
h AaaRs AhSaad instead Of at home.

New-Chwang dispatch.
1t is denied here that Admiral Remey was
directed to send a man-of-war to New
Chwang. But, In accordance with the
custom of keeping naval officers ADVISED of

This Government does not intend to loo;

either Great Britain or Russia. A high Of
fetal stated that the United States proposed
to accept the word of both Governments
that the troops are occupying New-Chwang
and Shanghai solely to protect foreign In
terests, and when there is no longer need
for their presence it will expect their with
arawal.
While it would not be surprising if japan
were to protest against the occupation of

the occupation on the Chinese is also feared

Britain in the Yang-tse Valley.
The st. Petersburg Gazette has inter-

bassy as to the reasons why the United
States assumed a hostile attitude toward
China and the motive of Ii Hung Chang
declaration that Minister Conger could DE
sent safe to Tlen-Tsin on condition that the
United States abandon the idea of march

Embassy in question is quoted as saying

many troops to China.
ROUTE ALLIES MUST TRAVEL.
Washington, Aug. H-While the War De-
partment has no specific information as TO
the future movements of General Chaffee
it is thought that he may have covered
the twenty miles between Ho-Si-Wu and
Iung-Cnow. The Pei River makes a great
bend between Ho-Si-Wu and Matow, the
next town of Importance on the road. 1t
Is low, marshy country. where the river
doubles back on itself in its efforts to get
forward. The road here cuts across coun-
try, reducing about twenty-five miles of
boat travel to eleven miles of deep and al
most impossible road journey through
sWamps and quagmires. This country pre-
sents no defensive features. but about
eight miles beyond Matow comes the i'm
portant city of Ching -Chai-Wan This is
strong defensive point. where the Chinese
will make stand. if they make it at all
this side of Pekin
From Ching-Chai-Wun it is practically all
a continuous city for the next three miles
until the walled town of Tung- Chow Is
reached. Here are stored the immense sup
plies Of grain on which Pekin would de-
pend In case of siege. The city would be
almost as hard to carry as was Tien-Tsin,
possibly more so, owing to the labyrinth Of
streets and houses outside its walls where,
In case OF determined resistance mines
and ambuscades of all sorts would natural
ly be encountered at every street corner
In case determined stand Is made by the
Chinese at this point. there Is no question
that the international column would be
forced TO wait for all the reserve force it
can command But the officials here
are very much in hope that China will
come to reasonable terms before our forces
are committed to the extremity of forcing
this key to the gates of Pekin.

serted that the Chinese were strongly In

The Hanover Courier. discussing the plan
of campaign, saws to-day that Foreign Of
flee circles regard the success of the pres
ent movement as next to impossible and ex-
pect that the first task Of Count Waldersee
after his arrival at the front will be to lead
the advance upon Pekin.
Lieutenant Colonel Reinhold Wagner, dis
cussing the military problem In the Ma
tional Zeitung. argues that the roads lead
ing from Pekin to the interior ought to be
seized in order to prevent the escape OF
the rebels and that then. with an army OF
from 7O,00O to 5000 men an advance should
be made along both banks of the Pei-Ho.
