Word Sent.

to the Associated Press from Tien Tsin,
dated Sunday, August s, 5 a. M, via Shang-
hal, August Z, is the only press message

Various Tien Tsin dispatches of earlier
dates allude to accommodating encounters
with the Chinese preparatory to general
attack on the Chinese positions, which are
five miles long. The reconnaissance has
developed that the Chinese are in greater
strength than expected, and the allies, ac-
cording to news agency dispatch from
Tien Tsin, dated August 2, are each day
pushing nearer to the Chinse positions.
The Russians, who have been fighting
around Tasi Chow. are reported, according
to dispatch from Shanghai. dated August
g. to have killed 5000 Chinese.
The Tao Tai of New Chwang has refused
the Russian demand to give up the forts
there.

PLANS FOR THE ADVANCE.
COMMENT ON CHAFFEE'S OUT
LINE OF CAMPAIGN.
Allies Had About Fourteen Thousand
Men-Enemy Has Strategic
Points Well Manned.

washington August THE dispatch
Of General Chaffee, written before the
battle Of Sunday, confirms the dispatches
received at the navy department yester-
day, and also the press dispatches re-
ceided today concerning the attack on the
Chinese at Pei Tsang. General Chaffee's
dispatch dated Friday, was not sent from
Che Foo until today, an ineXplicable de-
lay.
The most interesting feature Of the dis
patch is the information regarding the
positions of the Chinese army and the
fact that the advance upon Pekin Is made
by two columns, one on each side of the
Pei Ho river. The international force as
given by General Chaffee would aggre-
gate about $4,000 men, while the other
dispatches say 1900. but this difference
can easily be accounted for as more men
might have been available when the
movement began than when the confer
ence was held on the third instant. This
conference is supposed to have been be-
tween the several commanders present
at Tfen Tsin. It is evident that the for
eign commanders do not underestimate
the task which they have before them.
as the dispatches shows that thorough
reconnaissance OF the Chinese position
has been made and that even before the
advance of the information force from
Tien Tsin the commanders were in pos
session OF full information relative to the
Chinese. position. This is one of the most
welcome features Of the dispatch as It
proves conclusiveiy that the international
column did not blunder upon an intrench-
ed position of the enemy. According to
the war departments map, the town OF
Pei Tsang covers both sides Of the river.
but the main portion of It is on the left
side where the Japanese, English and
American forces have arranged. accord
