Commanding Officers Are Severely
Criticised For Their Hardness.
TEN TsIN, July S5, via SHANGHAI,
Aug. 3.-Pending the order to advance
for the relief of the legationers at Pc
king, the events at the Chinese capital
are seemingly but slightly regarded.
High officers are entertaining nightly at
elaborate dinners, with military bands
playing operatic airs. Foreign residents
and friends Of the besieged in Peking
who come to Tien TSin to await news or
to accompany the expedition are In
tensely dissatisfied with the progress of
preparations They accuse the army Of
indifference and of magnifying the diff
culties to be encountered in reaching
Picking.
President Tenny of the Tien Tsin uni
versity, who h.; volunteered to guide
the army to Picking, said today:
''This business is not progressing in
accordance with Anglo-Saxon traditions.
Twenty thousand soldiers are staying
here while women and childrt
of their own race are starving and
awaiting massacre 80 miles away. Mill
tary and naval officers, meanwhile,
wasting time in pickering over petty
politics, is a sorry spectacle. 1t will be
dark blot on the reputation of every
commanding officer here if the white peo-
pie in Peking are allowed to perish with
out desperate effort to save them"
President Tenny and many others
who are acquainted with the conditions
think there were sufficient troops here
to push forward and pursue the Chinese
after the fall of the native city of Tien
Tsin. The position Of the legations de-
manded that the army take extraordi-
nary risks by securing the surrounding
country and communicating animals and
wagons and that boats sufficient for pur-
poses of transportation might be impro-
vised, is the prevailing opinion of civil
ians, and many officers, notably jap
anese and Americans, confirm this view.
While people at Tien Tsin are totally
ignorant Of diplomatic conditions abroad
or Chinese affairs, the lack Of harmony
here among the representatives of the
powers binders vigorous action.
The Japanese are giving splendid
exhibition of organization. Their whole
machine moves like clock work. The
management of the Japanese army and
the bravery, spirit and intelligence of
the Japanese troops are revelation that
commands the respect and admiration
of all foreign officers.

Pritchard Morgan Believes the Expe-

LONDON, Aug. 3-"This fresh adj
vance upon Picking, believe, will prove
a terrible military and political mis-
take" said Pritchard Morgan. my
latest information, he continued, sis
that there are 10000 Chinese troops be-
tween Tien Tsin and Picking and proba-
bly, 3OO,0 900 IN and around Peking itself.
This expedition probably will be COM
PEELED to return like Admiral Seymour s.
Besides, the Chinese government may
lose the power to protect the legations
any longer when the news that for
eign army is advancing becomes known.
"The release of the ministers could
have been secured by Lii Hung Chang If
the powers had consented to negotiate
through him. But the ministers refuse
to leave Picking, because while they are
there the Chinese government is respOn-
sible for them.
The failure to agree upon a COM
mander-in- chief of the allied forces Gre
ates CONSERVATION. LaBouchere cyni-
cally observed:
"When the allied armies begin to fight
with each other the Boxers will have to
be called in to restore peace.

THE DISPATCH rs VERIFIED

Original Conger Message Is Sent to
Consul Fowler at Che Foo-Minister
Wu's Conduct Causes Comment-Ac-
ton of the Officers at Tien Tsin I'm
favorably Received.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3. - Bad news
comes this morning from Admiral
Remey indicating that serious resist
ance has developed against the advance
of the Picking relief column. His adj
vice confirms the opinion of the experts
here as to the fights already reported
near Tien Tsin being nothing more than
the result of reconnoisances. Still
scouting party 800 strong, is no incon-
siderable force and the fact that the
japanese suffered severely is regarded
here as positive proof that the relief
column will have some lively fighting
ahead.
A feeling akin to indignation was ex-
cited here by the press report from Tien
Tsin of the apparent Indifference of the
manders there to the critical state of the
legationers at Picking. The war depart
ment officials are satisfied that General
Chaffee, at least, is blanleless, for he is
undoubtedly exercising all of his influ-
ence with the other commanders to get
the column in motion. Meanwhile, the
sharp check received by the Japanese
scouting party is an indication of what
he might experience should he take the
desperate chance of pushing forward
alone.
Secretary Hay and Minister WI added
another score to their credit today when
dispatch came from United States Con-
sui Fowler, at Che Foo, apparently re-
moving all doubt us to the authenticity
of the famous Conger cipher dispatch.
Minister WI and the German ambas-
sador were at the state department in
quest of information, having, as they
said, no news themselves.

ANARCHY REIoNs IN PEKINo.

Chinese Fighting Among Themselves.
Streets Running With Blood.
CHE Foo, July 26, via SHANGHAI,
Aug. 9.-The latest reports from Peking
were brought by disaffected officers of
the Chinese army. They are considered
reliable. The officers left Picking July
Is. They say anarchy had reigned in
Picking for months and the streets ran
blood, the Cinnamon fighting among
themselves. Jung Lu, communicating
chief of the Chinese forces, and Prince
Ching espoused the cause of the foreign
ers and endeavored with the part of the
army loyal with them to expel the Box
ers. Later, with the majority of the
imperial troops under anti-foreign lead
ers, Prince Tuan and General Tung Flu
Sian were victorious and Jung Lu and
Prince Ching, with their followers, were
prisoners in the yamens when the bear
ers of these reports left Picking.
Prince Tuan and General Tung Flu
Sian appear to control the government,
according to the officers, and issued
edicts, printed in The Gazette, exhcrt-
ing the Chinese to kill all the foreigners
and native Christians. One officer says
there are $4,000 troops in Picking, in
Guiding lungs army, and 5000 more at
Yung Tsun. The soldiers hold all the
streets within mile of the legations.
The foreign troops when the officers
left Picking had burned and abandoned
the Chenmen gate. Their ammunition
appeared to be failing and their quick
firing guns had been silenced for some
DAYS before July Is and they were using
their rifles only when hard pressed. The
officers say that every foreign bullet
kills a Chinaman. The reports state
that the American and English troops
defeated General Ma in night battle
July 10.
The reports from Chinese sources are
to the effect that all of the legations
forces were killed. Cinnamon caught a
messenger who was trying to leave the
legations July 10 with the following
message:
''To Any Foreign Commander:
MAKE all haste if you intend to save
us. We can hold out but few days.
Governor Yuan XII states that he has
received note from the tsung Ii yamen,
dated July 30, reporting that the minis
| ters at the German legations and others
were we'll and that their relations with
the government were friendly.
They were arranging measures to pro-
| tect the ministers at Tien Tsin. !.

that when he learned from the Shang-
