Americans Did No Innffnr

Washington, Sept. 1.-Oficials of the
war department are positive that the
soldiers of Gen. Chaffee's army took
no part in the extensive looting which
followed the fall of the Chinese city
of Tien Tsin. Peremptory orders were
issued to military officers to exert ev-
cry effort to prevent looting and to
severely punish disobedience of such
orders, and from reports which have
come to the department the officials are
confirmed in the opinion that our men
refrained from disregarding the orders
of their superiors They think that
the Chinese themselves are responsible
for much of the pillaging.
