The United States Government never
has accedcd To this view. and Is re-
laXinE no effort TO bring about
change of plans on this point. But
our representatives. have been met by
the almost unanswcrablc argument
that the decision of this important
question properly should he left to the
military commanders on the spot. who
must bear the responsibility for the
outcome of the expedition.
a STARTLING PROPOSITION.
a rather startlng proposition was
advanced to-day. which. if adopted,
might put at once 20 the test the Chi
nese profession that the Boxers" and
not the Chinese Government. are re-
sponsible for what has happened in
Pckin. This was 10 the effect that the
Chinese Government should be in
formed that the International force was
prepared to take that government at it's
word, and to join forces with it in
crushing out the insurrcction. The
kernel of just such proposition is to
be found in the last condition laid down

advance on Pcsin. 10 is presumed that
such of the United states forces as nrc
now ready will participate in the move
ment. II dispatches are received at
Tien Tsin from Minister Conger or
others in the legations at Pekin, which
change the existing conditions, Maj
General Chanee viii act in accordance
with such information. The Secretary
SAYS Genera Chttfcc has full powers
and has been entrusted with the COM
mand Of the United states forces be-
cause OF the confidence the government
has In his ability To meet any situation
that may arise.
1t is eviden, from the dispatches re-
ceived from General Chaffee that only
q portion OF his force can be utilized If
an immediate advance is made. II is
not believed that all of the equipments
of the last expedition sent from Manila
have been landed. and ii is of course
apparent that the horses and most OF
the equipments OF the sixth Cavalry are
still at sea. The Ninth Infantry and
