doubt after the fight at Peitsang, the

Confirms story of Battle.
The dispatch of Gen. Chaffee, written
before the battle Of Sunday, confirms
the dispatches received at the navy de-
partment Monday, and also the press
DISPATCHES received Tuesday concern
ing the attack on the Chinese at
Peitsang. Gen. Chaffee's dispatch,
dated Friday, was not sent from Che
foo until Tuesday, an ineXplicable de-
Law. The most interesting feature oil
the dispatch is the information regard
ing the positions of the Chinese army
and the fact that the advance upon Pe
king is made by two columns, one OF
each side Of the Pei river.
Only 1900 Men.
The international force, as given oN
Gen. Chaffee. would aggregate abou
$4,000 men. while the other dispatche
say 16 600. but this difference can easlI.
be accounted for, a more men migh
have been available when the move
ment began than when the conferenc
was held on the Sd instant. This cor
ference is supposed TO have been be
tween the several commanders presen
at Tientsin. 1t is evident that the iol
eign commanders do not underest
Il mate the task which they have beioi
l them. as the dispatch shows that

ON 10th sides of River.

According to the war department
man. the town Of Peitsang covers both
sides of the river, but the main portion
Of il is on the left side where the Jap
anese. English and American forces
had arranged, according 10 Gen. Chai-
fees dispatch, TO attack the enemy IN
flank. The left Of the Chinese on the
other side Of the river, according TO the
dispatch. was partially protected by
flooded ground, and practically unas-
sailable for that reason. According 10
the map there is lake five miles from
the river at this point, and the GROUND
may have been flooded from this lake
through the dykes and canals which
pridiron the country thereabout. Inc
Russian and French forces were to a
tack the enemy's left on the right bank
of the river between the river and the
railroad. This makes il probable tha'
the flooded district only EXTENDED &c
the lire of the railroad, which at tins
point is about mile and half iron
| the river.

ohi.ctiNe Point Is Yang Tsun.

Gen. Chaffee's dispatch also shows
another important feature of the plan
of campaign agreed upon by the inter
national commanders. 1t IS that the
present objective point of the column
is Yang Tsun. This is town about
Is miles beyond Peitsang at the point
where the railroad crosses the Pen river
from the right on the way TO Peklng'
Once in possession of this point the IN
tarnational force would have both the
railroad and river in its rear for keep
ing open communication with Ten en-.
tsin. 1t naturally would become the
advance base from which the opera
lions on Picking could be projected. Al
this point the river veers to the righ'
and from it the column would nave &c
move over and along the line OF the
| river

Down TO Charles lis time 1t was Gus

on the quarter deck. The cup was then
generally given to the dockyard ship
