column.
The admirars dispatch stating that an
engagement had occurred near Tien-Tsin
and that another was about to occur sent
a thrill of expectancy throughout official
circles here. Other dispatches have been
received giving additional details. but these
have not been made public, as they did not
shed light upon the engagement itself, but
more on the movements of forces. The Off
cial information gave no ciew. however. as
TO the extent of any casualties which may
have been suffered by the American forces
engaged. and this was taken to indicate
that the loss was little or nothing in the
face OF such an illy-equipped foe.
WALLER BRAVE OFFICER.
Major Waller. In command of the Amer
ican marines. who participated in the fight,
is known here as brave and efficient Off

played during the battle of Santiago. when
battleship Indiana. The marines referred
TO in the cable are the 80 men taken by the
Solace from Manila at the first call for re-
inforcements.
Admiral Kempff's specific statement that
the engagement was with the Chinese
army at first caused some solic!tude
among officials. for this was the first posi-
tive official statement that the imperial
forces of China. and not the Boxers, were
fighting the foreign troops. Later, how
ever, the view obtained that the admiral
had used the words "Chinese army" as
handy means of expressing the Chinese op-
position encountered, without intending to
officially declare that the imperial troops
were fighting. The view of the administra-
ton is that the dispatches are not yet of
sufficiently definite character to show that
any war with China is in existence
The anxiety over the situation at Peking
was somewhat relieved when the State De-
partment received letter from the Chinese
minister. Mr.. WI, stating that he was ad-
vised by cable from the viceroy of Nam
King that the legations at Peking are safe.
What means of information the viceroy of
Marking has is not known, but the au-
thorities here were none the less grateful
for this reassuring word. The alarming
press dispatches from Shanghai were ac-
cepted with much reserve by the officials
But in quarters likely to be thorc -ghly ad-
vised the Shanghai statement that Prince
Tuan was in charge of portion of the Chi
nese troops was credited as accurate. If
this is established beyond doubt the situa-
tion may become even more acute than at
present, as Prince Tuan is the father of the
heir apparent and one of the officials
closest identified with the Empress dow
ager.
The Shanghai statement of practical
"Anglo-American allience" elected an ex-
preston of indignation from the officials
here, who have grown weary of explaining
that there is absolutely no such alliance,
but simply parallel action by this and other
governments towards the common end of
property"

allowance at the State Department. At the
same time this was the eleventh day OF
complete silence on the part OF Minister
Conger. and every hour of silence adds to
the apprehension among the officials.
General MacArthur's report of the am
bushing of American troops in Luzon, re-
sulting in a large casualty list, added some
what to the perplexity of the War Depart
ment in providing soldiers for China, as
this was another evidence that General
Macarthur needed considerable force to
garrison and protect the many outlying
points.
The news of the safety OF Baron Won
Ketteler. German minister to China, and
his family was tonight corroborated by
a message received here from Henry B.
Ledyard, of Detroit, whose daughter is the
wife of Baron Won Ketteler. The massage
states that cablegram had been received
via Berlin stating that his daughter and
her husband were both safe. This infor-
nation, as we'll as other news similar in
character. has had a reassuring effect upon
the President and his advisers. and they,
are now inclined to regard the situation at
Peking as less serious than at first re-
ported.
