CHAFFEE FIXES BLAME
COMMANDERS RESPONSIBLE FOR BAD
SANITARY CONDITIONS NAMED.


Washington, Aug. 4.-Some features Of the
dispatch received from General Chaffee yester-
day, and which the War Department refused to
make public. became known to-day. The first
dispatch received by the War Department from
General Chaffee contained little information,
but closed with the statement that he was
going forward TO Tien-Tsin and would give his
views. That is what he has done His views as
given in the dispatch Of yesterday would be
far from palatable to several foreign Govern
ments and that is one reason why the dis
patch was not made public This much is as
serted:
General Chaffee and the United States forces
available under mis- command have gone for
ward toward Pekine. with the British and Japa-
nese forces. The troops Of the other nations as
sembled a. Tfen-Tsin did not join in the move
mert- but the reasons given by General ChaTee
could rot be learned It is understood that the
criticism contained in The Associated Press dis
patch received yesterday Of the sanitary con
ditions existing at Tien-Tsin is borne out in
General Cnaffee's dispatch, but in discussing
the matter with the War Department he has
been more specific, and the names of the COM
rnanders who failed to take the proper precau-
tions for the health of the international forces
are given.
War Department officials generally refuse to
discuss the contents OF the dispatch, and seere-
tary Root announced emphatically that it would
not be given TO the public. and further. that no
additional dispatches had been received from
General Chanee. The International questions
involved make It impossible, on account of
diplomatic relations, TO give the dispatch to the
public and it is further desired that the pro-
posed movement of troops should not be her
aided 10 the world for the advantage Of the
Chinese who are opposing the advance for the
rescue Of the besieged Ministers

neEs given ozr yesterday relating 70 China was

with the viceroy of Nanking. who had con
sented 70 the landing Of three thousand troops

required because the Empress may order gen

cities and the Yangtse Valley. The presence Of
three thousand troops viii keep Shanghai quiet
