Held in Confidence by War Depart
ment-only Part Given Out.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 7.-Comment
has been made on the refusal of the
war department to give to the press
the substance or the text of General
Chaffee;s. dispatches. Secretary Root
to-day explained why these dispatches
were withheld. He said:
General Chaffec, In his position as
commander. received the condolences
OF the commanders Of other nations.
On these he forms his opinions. Then.
in his communications to the depart
ment he feels free to comment on con-
ditlons and perhaps on the soldiers of
other nations. In short, many OF his
kilograms are OF a confidential nature.
Now, should give them out, In what
an embarrassing position 1t would
place General chnfree. both abroad and
at! home. He would be held responsible
for. divulging the secrets of foreign na-
tons, and his comments might add to
the unpleasantness.
Whenever he speaks OF things act
ually accomplished or of conditions
with no other nation involved his dis
patches will be given out;; not other

PITTsBURG. Pa., Aug. 7.-"There
will be no concert OF action In closing
the merchant blast furnaces OF the
MahoninS and shcnango valleys, as is
indicated In the Cleveland dispatch,
according TO the Pittsburg firms which
are interested In the association. At
the Office OF one to-day It was given
out that there was no meeting held at
Cleveland yesterday, the last being
held week ago Tuesday, at which
nothing definite was accomplished. The
furnaces have been closing md will
continue to go out of blast, simply be-
cause market conditions do not make
It profitable to operate. The pool price
agreement was ended six weeks ago
By the first OF September there will be
only four furnaces In the two valleys

Iron and Coal Company. and two Of
the National Steel company. All Of the
other twenty-nIne, which are Included
in the Dcssemer association, will be
out of blast. This. however. was not
the result Of an agreement. At meet
Ing held four weeks ago. an attemp.
was made to arrange for the closing
of certain furnaces, but the proposition
caused n warm dlsputs. which ended
the matter, and 1t was decided to await
market conditions.

AMERICAN TROOPS

In the Vanguard of the Foreign
Movement to Pekin-Anxiously
Awaiting the Report of Losses in
Battle of Pietsang.
WASHINGTON. Aug. THE intor-
nation which came to-day that AmeTl-
can troops were engaged in the battle
OF Pietsang. established positively, for
the first time, that Notwithstanding the
difficulties which General Chafree had
encountered in debarking troops and
supplies, at least part, and a consid-
e5abte part of our forces was In the
vanguard OF the forward movement.
General Chaffec's dispatch TO the war
department conveyed the most salts
factory evidences that the commanders
had thoroughly agreed In advance upon
a plan OF action and that there is every
Indication that this plan had been fol-
lowed, as General Chafiee, on Friday
sent the. cable saying that the attack
upon the Chinese at Pletsang would be
made on Sunday, the day when General
Remcy and the press correspondents
say the fighting occurred.
General ChaTces announcement that
the present objective OF the intcrna-
,onal column Is Yang Tsun, is inter-
pre;ed by the officials at the war depart
ment to mean that this point. where
river railroad and wagon road meet. Is
TO be made the advance base for the
operations on ,Pekin.
Bore the Brunt of the Attack.
The most positive addition to the
news of the day was the brief line from
the Associated Press correspondents at
TIen Tsln, stating thai the Ninth and
Fourteenth infantry. ReIlly's battery
and the marines were In the battle OF
Pie;sang. 1t was this force. which,
with the British and Japanese, bore the
brunt OF the attack on the left flank,
which was to turn the enemy's position.
This Plan had already been made clear
BY General chaffee's dispatch. although
he did not mention what American
troops would be engaged.
In view OF the participation Of the
American troops, the war and navy de-
partments arc anxlously expectant OF O
report OF the part taken by our troops
and OF any losses. which the Americans
may have sustained.
No Commander Agreed Upon.
No light has yet been thrown upon
the subject OF whether the commanders
OF the international forces have agreed
upon Il commander.
The Chaffce dispatch would seem to
Indicate that none had been agreed
upon. The movement was planned EVIL
IDENTIFY by the commanders In confer
tncc and the part which each command
was to play agreed upon In advance.
II Is, perhaps. noteworthy and signln-
cant TINT In this plan OF attack upon
the enemy at Pie,sang. the American,
British and Japanese were Joined In Tho
movement to turn the encmy's right
hank. while the Russians and French
operated together on the opposite side
OF tho river against tho cncmy's left.
