forces have left the railway far in the I
rear and are depending upon the. high
way and the river.
Ho-Si-Wu Is a place OF considerable |
size, and the largest town between the |
Tien Tsin & Ching CHA railway. The |
latter place and Tsung Chow are the
two cities of considerable size In the /
line of advance after leaving Hp-Si-Wu.
1t is surrounded by orchards and gar
dens, and 1t is not a place likely to have
!Cpportunity for strong defenses. 1T is
the highest point on the Pei river where
the river water is depended on, as the
native wells ar the source of supply on
the balance OF the route to Pekin. AS
lit has taken five days for Gen. chaffee
to report the advance to Ho-Si-Wu, it
| is evident that Wire communication is
mot open to the front.
Shortly after THIS dispatch arrived
Ianother message from Gen. Chaffee, far
more lengthy, gave the melancholy re-
3lsult OF the fighting at Yang Tsun. The
casualty list was given in detail, with
1.-THE additional information that the
dead had been buried at Yang Tsun and
THAT the wounded had been sent back to
1.-THE hospital at Tien Tsin.
The reply of the United States gov
|ernment to Chinas overtures fer peace
4 was made public early in the day show
ling the firm and final position that had
4lbeen taken. White expressing salts

s of the relief force be permitted to en-
tier Pelin unmolested" and escort the
ministers back to Tien Tsin
81 1t developed during the day that ref
erence to the powers" employed in
the American reply was not without a
ldistinct meaning. Exchanges between
the various powers have been going On
y @Econstant,y, and as a result the officials
had the satisfaction of knowing late in
! the day that the position of the United
States had the approval and support
! tof all the great powers. Several of the
lfGreign representatives, including Bar
ION Speck Won Sternberg, the German
Z 3tcharge d'affaires, and Mr. De Wollant.
1.-THE Russian charge d'affaires. had ex-
I.changed condolences With Mr. Adee.
The presence of the Russian reply was
! ilsratifying in clearing away some mis-
apprehension which was not shared by
z 1.-THE government here as to Russia s
course in authorizing NJ. De Giers to
