MORE A BATTLE
OF DIPLOMACY
The View Taken at Wash
lngton of the Future.
CALLS AT The DEPARTMENT

N" hheSASSI HAClleu by Is
ITS of japanese, Russian and
French Representatives Of
ficers at Tien Tsin from
Pekin.
Washington, August 28-Several
communications came to Washington
from the United States officials in
China to-day, but being without dates
in most cases, the government was
by no means latisfed with the state
of communications, and the cabinet
meeting held this afternoon gave the
larger part of it's attention To the
problem OF rectifying this state of
affairs.
Evidences sofinterference with mes
sages have accumulated to point
where the government has determin-
ed to take steps Co establish chan
nels of its own and to employ the
rather expensive device OF man or
war playing between Shanghai and
Che Foo for this purpose. Either
the New Orleans or the Princeton
will be ordered on this duty.
Meanwhile, word comes that rapid
progress is making with the shora
cable which is to connect these points
and 1t is believed that within a week
this means of communication will he
open.
SIEGE GUN NOT NEEDED.
Three messages from General
ChafIee were received today, and
while they cast no direct light on
the military situation they were in
ferentially importan9. One was as
follows:
"Taku, China-Siege battery not
needed"
This dispatch is in reply to an in
quiey sent some time ago TO General
Chafiee relative To the siege battery
which was taken from Manila to
Nagasaki, to be sent To China IL need
I'd.
Announcement was received of
the arrival Of the Garonne with eight
companies sof the First Cavalry
aboard, at Ccbe, japan, and com
panion ship with animals for the
troopers. An order was sent from
here TO the governments agents at
Kobe, To divert tho cavalry and their
animals from the port TO Manila, in
stead of allowing them to proceed 20
Taku according to their original or
ders.
General Chaffee's statement that
he needs no siege battery,y taken in
connection with the diversion oe the
First Cavalry, which was bound for
Taku To Manila, seems TO make clear
that there is no intention to enter
into prolonged campaign in China
such as would involve the use of
heavy artillery or OF reinforcements
in the shape of men and horses. AT
the same time, it cannot be said bat
the government has shown any sign
of purpose to abandon any Just
claim it may have secured upon
China through the brilliant operations
or the little American force In the
Flowery Kingdom. But it begins TO
appear that the battle of today is
one oJ diplomacy rather than one Of
arms, and Notwithstanding the vari-
Gus rumors that have filtered out
from Chinese sources of heavy en-
gagements between the international
forces and the Boxers, the officials
here are satisfied that no formidable
organized resistance will be offered
by the Chinese if the demands of the
powers are limited to the principles
laid down by the United Steates in
its several notes.
