Washington. Aug. 17.-Previous information
which has been received here showed that the
allied armies took possession of TungChow on

tance is not very great. not more than dozen
miles. II seems evident, therefore, that the ar

vancing host should arrive at the front Pos
sibly. also. the delay was the result of negotia-
tons opened by the Chinese officials. looking to
other escort. II negotiations were attempted
they must have failed. as the army continued on
fits march and attacked the capital three days
after reaching Tung- Chow.
The officials here were aware OF the fact that
the stronghold Of the Boxers was in the Chinese
city, ana for the allies to attempt to force their
way through it into the Tartar City in which
the Legation compounds are located might
mean a great loss Of life. and possibly defeat
1t also known that the Imperial troops
which have sided sssRh tlle Boxers were, many
Of them, in or near the Chinese city, and that
much Of the artillery and rifle fire which has
been poured into the legations had been from the
walls separating the two cities. These facts evil
IDENTIFY were communicated to General Chaffee
and the other commanding officers OF the allies.
Realizing these Obstacles it appears the allies
decided to attack the city by the east gate.

the attacking point Consul Fowler's dispatch
does not disclose. Contrary to the press re-
ports Of to-day Consul Fowler's dispatch shows
that the attack on the city met with strong
resistance. The Japanese force engaged with
the advance. according to the understanding OF
the officials here. numbered 10000 men. so
that the loss suffered by them was over 1
per cent.
No mention is made Of the losses of the
forces of the other armies, but It is presumed
that it was in proportion to that suffered by
the japanese.
