DOUBT ADVANCE
WITHOUT CHAFEE

Washington, July 31.-The officials
here, while anxious that the movement
on Pekin begin at once, do not attach
credence to the rumor mentioned by
General Chaffee that the forward
march was to begin today.
There are two reasons for their in
credulity. In the first place, Chaffee's
force, his splendid cavalry and his bat
talon of artillery, are exactly what are
needed to strengthen a weak spot in
the international column. In the sec
ond place land information on this
point comes through European chan
nels) some of the foreign commanders
are still of the opinion that they can
not begin the campaign before the last
week in August at the earliest. The
United States government has not ac-
ceded to this view, and is relaxing no
effort to bring about a change of plans
on this point. But our representations
have been met by the almost unan-
swerable argument that the decision of
this important question properly should
be left to the military commanders on
the spot, who must bear the response
bility for the outcome of the eXpedi
ton
May Cooperate With Chinese.
A rather startling proposition was
advanced today, which, if adopted,
might put at once to test the Chinese
profession that the Boxers and not
the Chinese government are RESPONSE
bic for what has happened in PelLin.
