It HAS An AWFUL BLUHDER.
American Soldiers Are Killed and
Wounded by Russians.
A Deadly Battery Fire Poured Upon the
Fourteenth Infantry OF United states
Troop at Yang Tsu1 Before the
MIstahe Was Discovered.

New York, Aug. IA special cable
dispatch to the Evening World to-day
dated Che Foo, August 9, via Shang-
hal, says:
"a terrible mistake occurred at the
taking Of Yang Tsun. Russian ar
tiIlery opened fire on the American
troops. Before the mistake was dis
covered many American soldiers had
been killed or wounded by the Russian
shells.
The Fourteenth took part IN the
attack on the Chinese trenches. As
the Chinese fed the regiment entered
and occupied one Of the Chinese pO-
sitions.
"a Russian battery some distance
on did not notice the movement. It
opened fire on the position and plant
ed shells among the American troops.
The Russians were quickly notified
and ceased their FIRE"
Nearing PekiB's Oates
London, Aug. 15.-The only news
which takes the advance upon PeIin
further than Ho-Si-Wu comes from
Paris. The London morning papers
contain nothing to confirm the
French report that the allies are
within Is miles of Pekin, although a
Che Foo dispatch is printed saying
that they were within p miles of the
goal on Saturday. Confning the re-
port Of the arrival Of the interna-
tional forces at Ho-Si-Wu the Daily
Nails correspondent adds: THE
Chinese offered little real opposition.
The arrival Of the allies frustrated a
determined attempt to divert the
course of the river. The heat is in
tense, but the health Of the troops is
good
The Chinese minister in London,
Sir Chin Chen Lo Feng Luh, is
quoted as saying that he hoped and
believed that peace would be estab-
Hshed between China and the powers
within the next six weeks. Yester-
day he transmitted to the British
foreign Office another message from
the British minister in Pezin, Sir
Claude Macdonald, the contents Of
which the officials have thus far re-
fused to make public.
A special dispatch from Shanghai,
dated August Is, says numerous re-
ports from Picking, dated August S,
have arrived there, describing the sit
uatiOn at the Chinese capital 1t ap-
pears the Chinese are again desPer-
ating attacking the legations, which
had very few defenders left. It is al
so alleged that Prince Tuan and a
hundred high officials have left Pekin
and that the news of the capture of
Yang Tsun caused heavy exodus of
the residents. Finally, 1t is said that
the execution Of Cheng Yin Huan, the
Cantonese who was special ambassa-
dor Of China to Queen VictOria's jubi-
lee, has created widespread terror and
it is believed to be a fact that Yu
Lu, the former vicerOy of Chi Ii, was
killed in battle at Yang Tsun.

Washington, Aug 15.-The navy de-
Partment early Wednesday morning
made public dispatch from Admiral
Remey announcing the arrival of Gen.
Chaffee at MatOw, the next town Of
Importance after Ho-Si-Wu, which the
Americans occupied with slight OpPo-
sitiOn on the 9th. The text of the
dispatch is as follows:
''Taku, Aug. 12.7Just received an
undated dispatch from Chaffee at Ma
tow yesterday. Opposition of no con
sequence as yet; terrible heat; many
men Frustrated. Please inform sec
rotary Of war.-Remey.
Matow is about IL or u miles be
yOnd Ho-Si-Wu. The road between
Ho-Si-Wu and Matow is indicated on
the war department map as the worst
section of the road between Tien Tsin
and Pekin.
It viii be seen from this message
that the date Of Gen. -Chaffee's arri-
val at AIatOw is uncertain. It is
mean that AIatow was occupied on the
previous day, the 18th, and that the
opposition was slight both on the
road and in taking the town. Matow
Is about u miles by road from HO-Si-
Wa, and the road, as indicated on the
war department maps, is Of the worst
possible character. Matow is not a
walled city and no serious opposition
was expected there. 1t Is about II
miles by road from MatOy to Ching
CHA Wan, which is really the suburb
of the walled city of Tung Chow
and the key to the gates of PeI1in-
If Gen. Chaffee was at Matow on the
11th IL is quite possible that by to-
day he is either In possession Of Tung
Chow or engaged with the retreating
Chinese army that it was thought
might make a stand behind its walls.
The war department is highly gratifed
at the report Of Gen. Chaffee's steady
advance, which for a week has been
secuted as a foOIhardy piece Of adven-
ture by some OF the European war
officials.
OF quite as much interest as the rec
ord of the army's advance is the spec
ulatiOn now current about the state
department as to the status Of diplO-
matte negotiations. The state depart
ment has thrown around these pro-
ceedings a sudden and unaccustOmed
veil Of secrecy that is taken to pre-
sage important Developments. One
thing is well nigh certain, namely,
that the COnger message of yesterday,
which was not made public, is one
of a series of identical notes ad-
dressed by the beleagured ministers
to their governments.
The state department stated that
not only would the text of the Con
ger message be kept secret, but no
questions would be answered in con
nection with its contents. 1t was
pointed out by the department that
with the international forces prac-
ticaIly at the gates Of Pekin, any
statement of Minister Conger might
involve him and all of the other min
listers in very serious consequences
It was said, however, that the state
ment from London this morning, cred
tied to member Of parliament, that
negotiations were on foot in Wash
ingtOn between the various powers,
looking to a future form of govern
ment for China, was without fOunda-
ton. The state department an
Ounced that no note on this subject
had been exchanged between the
powers
