BERLIN, July 1.-THE news regarding

GEN. MILES MAY COMMAND
EFFICIENCY Of the Chinese situation
Demands That an Onicer of High
Rank Take Com m and,

WASHINGTON, July I6-Gen. Miles
had an extended conference this after
noon with the secretary OF war concern
Ing the dispatch OF achievements to
China, No statement could be secured,
but 1t is understood that Gen. Miles
strongly urged that the troops be with
drawn from the Philippines so that a large
army could he thrown into China within
comparatively few days, instead Of
awaiting tho slow process of assembling
an army in this country and Cuba and
getting 1t to China. The troops In the
Philippines could make the trip across
to China In about a week, while the dis
patch OF troops will take more than a
month. and the men can hardly be in
the field before September.
Notwithstanding Gen. Miles recon-
mendation. the apparent policy is to for
ward the troops to China from this coun-
try and Cuba as fast as they can be as
semhled. With the sending OF 5000 or
1000 men provision doubtless will be made
for an officer of high rank to take COM
mand OF this force. Gen. Biles has rec
commended that Mai Gen Bates who
commanded a brigade with credit in Cuba,
be placed In command He is now In the
Philippines and could easily reach the field
OF action.
The disposition. however. Is toward
sending an officer from this country, and
as the conditions are so rapidly expand
ing Gen. Miles IL frequently referred to as
likely to assume command of the Ameri-
can forces in the Orient.

Sore Trial Of the Britlsh Command.
err, who Was Forced to XIII Hts
wounded Soldiers.

NEW YORK, July ls.--A dispatch to the
Journal from Tientsin dated July g. says:
Intellectual efforts have been made to con-
ceal the horrible fact that Admiral Sey-
mour was compelled to shoot his own
wounded during the recent disastrous ie-
treat Of the peking relief expedition. All
the wounded and prisoners who fell into
the hands OF the Chinese were frightfully
tortured.
The bodies Of two marines who were
captured by the Chinese were recovered.
The bodies had been cut into pieces. First
tho eyes had been hacked out then the
cheeks, arms and legs cut OFF, until death
ended the sufferings OF the poor fellows.
When Admiral Seymour In his retreat,
found himself so hard pressed that he was
unable longer to carry his wounded with
him, he asked them
Which do you prefer. to be left to the
mercies of the Chinese. or be shot by
your own comrades7
As Admiral Seymour put the question
the tears We're running down his cheeks
We prefer death TO torture. Shoot us
now, that we may die ike men, was the
piteous response of the helpless marines
A firing squad was told of and while
the little allied force stopped and beat OF
with gun fire the Chinese horde that sur
rounded IL. inside it's lines an act Of
mercy was performed as the firing squa
carried out It's orders.
A few mercifu volleys from the rifles
in the hands Of friends. and tine hsrassed
expedition was relieved OF It's burden Of
wounded the fanatical Chinese horde was
cheated Of victims for ts torture and
the sufferinEs and fears Of the unfortun-
steR were brought 10 an end In an honor

to alter the estimate OF the foreign COM
manders several times. IL Is possible that
the estimate of troops needed for Chinese
service will again be increased If so the
United States will respond. By securing
this country and denuding 1t of all regular
troops except a very few in the heavy ar
tillery in charge of valuable seacoast guns,
and by making still further demands up
on forces in Cuba and Puerto Rico. we
might possibly gather between three and
four thousand additional troops. This,
however. would be the limit unless the
war department disregarded a recommen-
alton OF Gen. Macarthur and drew still fur
Their on the available troops in the Philip
pines. This. however was a future con-
tingency which would not have to be met
until II arose. Secretary Root expressed
the hope that the first reports OF the dis
astrous battle of July IL at Tientsin might
prove to be exaggerated but the war de-
partment. II was stated, had no official
