OFFICIAL DISPATCHES
ARE KEPT SECRET

Washington, Aug. ia dispatch has
been received at the state department
from Consul General GoOdnow at
Shanghai. It's contents will not be
made public as it relates largely to
questions of policy and international
affairs, and ii is stated that nothing
regarding such questions will be given
out.
A dispatch received yesterday by the
state department from Consul Fowler.
at Che Foo was so badly mangled in
transmission as to almost be indeciph-
cradle. The cipher experts of the de-
partment worked on it last night and
today.
So far as made out, the dispatch ap-
pears TO contain q message from Min
lister Conger transmitted to Chez Foo by
courier. The first of the Conger mes
sage contained in the cablegram is that
the situation in Pekin is more critical
and that the Chinese government is
endeavoring to force the ministers to
leave the imperial city under Chinese
escort before the arrival of the relief
column. Beyond this point the dispatch
is unintelligible.

japanese Keep Best Order.


New York, Aug. ia dispatch to the
Herald from Tien Tsin, Aug. 6, says:
Great confusion yesterday attended
the advance of the allied troops, with
the exception of the Japanese.
The advance began at o'clock il
the morning. Under cover of three
batteries of artillery, two regiments of
Japanese infantry crossed the open in
the darkness and the Chinese at once
began heavy fire upon them.
The plan was that the Japanese
should occupy the extreme left, sup
ported by the British and Americans on
the right and the Russians across the
river.
The British and Americans came up
late, remaining in the rear.
The Japanese firing line spread from
our extreme left to the river They car
ried three series of Chinese trenches.
killing several hundred Chinese troops.
AObut $50 Japanese were killed or
wounded.
wish the japanese still leading and
advancing beyond the village Of Pei
Tsans, the other troops were unable to
catch up.
-Four thousand japanese were in the
fight yesterday, and nine guns were
captured. In the advance General
Fukushima's plan was followed.
Fifteen miles were covered. and
scouts reported that the Chinese were
retreating to the north under twelve
flags, about 5000 strong. This was
probably the rear guard, and they
might have been cut off and annihilated
if the Bengal lancers had been on hand
at the right time.
The roads gre good and dry. The
villages along the line Of march are
deserted. The growing crops afford
abundant forage for the pack animals.
From Pei TsAng to Yang TSun there
was 10 OPPOSITION. 1t is expected that
the Chinese Twill make a stand at the
latter place.

May Have Passed Tung Chow.


Washington. Aug. 15.-The navy de-
partment early this morning made
public the dispatch from Admiral
Remey announcing the arrival of Cen
eral Chaffee at Matow, the next town
of Importance after HO ST WI, which
the Americans occupied with slight op-
position on the 9th instant.
The date OF General Chaffee's arrival
at Matow is uncertain. 1t is taken at
the navy department to mena that
Matow was occupied on the previous
day, the 18th, and that the opposition
was Slight both on the road and in
taking the town.
Matow is about twelve miles by road
from Ho 81 WI and the road, as in
dlcated on the war department map.
is Of the worst possible character.
Matow is not walled city and no seri-
Gus opposition was expected here. 1t
is about eleven miles by road from
MatOw to Ching CHA Wan, which is
really the suburb of the walled city of
Tung Chow and the key 60 the gates
of Pekin. If General Chaffee was at
Matow on the 18th, it is quite possible
that by today he is either in possession
of Tung Chow or engaged with the re-
treating Chinese army that it was
thought might make a stand behind its
walls. The war department is highly
oA6NAlNO DIT luC IEpOIL Oh NeneIdl
Chattee'S steady advance, which for a
week past has been secuted as a fool
hardy adventure by some of the Euro
pean war officials.
Tung Chow Is Strong.
During the course of a conversation
between Secretary Root and Baron Won
Pternberg, the German charge daft
aires, Mr.. Root gained considerable
Information concerning the rO11te which,
.ias yet to be traversed by the allied
armies. Baron Sternberg told him that
Tung Chow was a very strong place
and If the Chinese army should make
a stand at this point the International
forces would find it difficult TO over
come the forts and walls. While it is
not known what resistance has been
made or will be made to the advance
at Tung Chow, Secretary Root and
other officials would no. be surprised
to learn of a serious battle at that
place.
Some of the japanese officials believe
that when the allies reach Tung Chow
they will find Pel<in a deserted city
ahead of them, as it was recalled that
these tactics of withdrawal had oc-
Cured in 1866, when the British French
expedition reached Tung Chow.
1t is expected that the German force
now on its way to China will land in
the vicinity of Lin Yu, which is di-
rectly east of Pelxin. The advantages
of this point are found in the fact that
ice viii not interfere with the going
and coming of ships with supplies. It
is also said that the road from Lin Yu
to Pekin is muchbe tier than that be-
tween Tien Tsin and Pekin, as the
ground is higher and the country more
suitable for military operations.

athletics.
The most important announcement of the
week was that of the Harvard football
game for next fall. The date has not been
definitely fixed. but it was expected ar
rangements will be made TO have the game
played on November 10 at Cambridge. The
Cornell game has not been arranged for,
and the Ithacan university may be dropped
as one Of Pennsylvania football compet-
ltors, owing 10 the persistent playing OF
Halfback Walbridge for the Comedians,
when his professional status is said TO have
been established by the football authorities
of the local university. 1t has been said
that the Thanksgiving Day game would
hereafter be with Columbia, but the feel
ing against Cornell may snbside. Coach
Stagg. OF the University of Chicago, was
here yesterday and arranged for football
and baseball games between his university
and Penn" The football game will be
played On Franklin Field probably ON No
vefnber 3.

the Knickerbocker Athletic Club games in
New York February TO-. This team viii
compete in an intercollegiate one-mile
relay race against teams from Harvard
Brown Princeton. Cornell, and Columbia
II will be an important contest, and Muir

4 Talk with the Former Light

George Dixon, former lightweight cham
Dion of the prize ring. is in Washington
visiting friends. He called at the White
House yesterday in company with Bob
Armstrong to pay his respects to the
President Mr.. Mckinley was busily en-
gagged at the time, and was unable TO
meet the fighter.
Dixon said last night: 81 shall never
fight again. l have had enough of the
prize ring, and l have quit that branch
of business forever. l made up my mind
more than three years ago that when
should be fairly put out I would quit.
That is my ultimatum on that point
In stating his reasons for the decision
he had reached. he said that he bad been
fighting. training and giving exhibitions
constantly for twelve years. He said there
had been no let up. and that he was tired
of the business and would never take it
up again whatever might happen. Dixon
The times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1897-1901, 1900-01-14

declares that he has taken part in nearly
two hundred fights. the majority of which
he has won by knocking out his man.
They have not all been great fights, he
frankly admitted. but they were bouts
which required training and effort 10 win.
1T is clear he remarked. that / have
carried the honors of the championship
well, and l think | have earned rest,
which mean to have. No, nothing can
ever tempt me into q fight again. and I
shall train no man but Bob Armstrong"
Dixon said of MeGovern that he is the
most capable fighter he had met in the
past six years.
In talking of prospective ring encounters.
Dixon expressed the idea that Jeffries and
corbett would meet and that it would be
the fight OF the year. on the supposition
that Corbett puts himself in as good con-
dition as when he met Fitzsimmons, at
Carson City. Dixon sees no reason why
the championship may not return to its
former holder
Regarding his future plans. Dixon thinks
he may go into business in New York.
Dixon will go to Baltimore today and visit
friends in that city.
