THINK CHAFFEE IS ALL RIGHT.

Washington, August Bad news
came this morning from Admiral Remey
in a report indicating that serious resist
ance has developed to The progress OF
the Pekin relief column. His adyice con-
firms the opinion of the experts here as
to the fights already reported near Tien
Tsin being nothing more than the result
of "Reminiscences, Still a scouting party
500 strong is no inconsiderable force, and
the fact that the Japanese suffered Sc
verely is regarded here as proof positive
that the relief column will have some
lively fighting ahead.
A feeling akin to indignation was ex-
cited here by the press report from Tien
Tsin Of the apparent indifference Of the
commanders Their to the critical state OF
the legationers at Pekin. The war de-
partment officials are sa tisfied that Chat
fee. at least, is blameless, for he IN
doubtedly is exercising all of his influ-
ence with the other commanders to get
the column in motion. Meanwhile the
sharp check received by the Japanese
scouting party is an indication of
he might expect should be take the des-
perate chance of pushing forward alone.
Secretary Hay and Minister WI added
much to their credit to-day when a dis
patch came from United States Consul
Fowler at Che Foo apparently removing
all doubt as to the authenticity of {
famous cipher Conger dispatch. :
