thority in the department said this
morning: "When Washington was held
by an army of 100000 and Richmond
by another, hundreds of men were
passing back and forth daily, yet in
China with comparatively trihing forces
in the field, it seems impossible to OBJ

in Pekin and TieDtsir." Little ere.
dence is given at the department to the
assurances as to the safety Of consuls
and consulates coming from Chinese
sources. Consul General Goodnow at

THE WAR IN CHINA.

Admiral Kempff, at Taku, cabled
yesterday that four OF Major Walters
men were killed and seven wounded
10 the fight near TieDtisn last Thursday.
These were part of force OF 100 ma
mes under Major Littleton w. L. VIZ b
.er, a Virginian, who. In conjunction
with 400 Russians. started from Taku
for Tientisn to relieve the hsrd-pressed
foreign residents, on whom large
force OF Chinese had been waging an
attack for days. The Admiral said
that force of 1000 men was going to
relieve Tientisn on Sunday.
Rear-Admiral Bruce, of the British
navy, cabling from Taku to London,
says that IAN attempt to relieve Tien-
tisn June % was repulsed, with some
loss." This indicates another relief
expedition was repulsed on Friday the
day after Walters fight. A Shanghai
dispatch says that It'll another relief
force was sent from Taku on Saturday
and that il consists OF 1900 men.
Pekin has now been cut off IA days
from communication with America
and Europe. Admiral Seymour, OF the
British navy, whose relief column Of
1900 men started from Tientisn to re-
lieve PekiD, has not been heard from in
IL days.
The authorities at Washington are
beginning to realize the magnitude of the
task they have undertaken 10 China.
Admiral Remey, chief of the Asiatic
squadron, has been ordered from Man
lila to Taku, succeeding Admiral Kempfi
and thus transferring the headquarters
, OF the squadron. He will 90 to- Taku
on the cruiser Brooklyn, which will be-
come the American flagship there.
Preparations on big scale are being
made by the United States War Depart
!. ment, but their extent is being conceal
ed.
The nature OF the task undertaken by
the powers, if they are to coerce the
Chinese, is also drawing upon the courts
of Europe. 1t is already said that 100,-
600 men would not be too many to land,
instead of 10, 900, the present force that
is strung out between Taku and Pekin.
