What Capture Means.

Washington, Aug. 9.-The capture of
Yang Tsun, the first objective point Of
the international forces, was the SUI
preme news OF importance received to-
day on the Chinese situation. The first
word of this capture, effected last Mon
day, came to the signal office at the
War Department from Colonel Schrlv-
en-, the general officer at Chefoo, as
follows:
"Chefoo, Aug. 9.-Signal, Washing
ton: August 6.-Sang Tsun captured
today Wire up, Need more transport
tation. All well.
"SCHRIvEN."
Half an hour after this message
telegram came from General Chaffec,
giving additional details OF the capture
cost Of about sixty casualties among
the American troops. General Chat
fees dispatch is as follows:
Yang Tsun, August G.-Iang Tsuu
was occupied today. Wounded: Sec
ond Lieutenant Frank X. Long, 9th In
fantry; casualties about sixty men Of
the 9Th United States Infantry, lith
United States Infantry and Battery +.
9TH United States Artillery. Names
later. Many men were Frustrated Nv
heat and fatigue. CHAFFEE."
Hardly less important was a dispatch
from General Terauchi second in COM
mand of the japanese stan, sent to the
War Office of Japan and transmitted 10
the legation here, saying that the in-
ternational army would total up 10000
men on August 18th to advance on Pc
king. This dispatch stated that on the
ith, when 1t was forwarded, the adj
vance had not begun. This was st
first incomprehensible, in view of the
fact that fighting has actually occurred.
But the later statement that the inter-
national force would total 10000 men
ON the 18th appears to make clear Gen
eral Terauchi's meaning ana TO re-
concile it with General Chaifee's dis
patches. The present movement II
some 10000 men doubtless is viewed IN
the light Of reconnaissance in force,
the main movement of the army of So
900 to follow ON the 18th. This makes
clear the meaning of General CHAT
fees dispatch that Yang Tsun was the
objective point, The War Depart
mont has been puzzled ON this point,
II would appear however, from Gen
eral Terauschi's dispatch that the first
force Of 10000 men, having opened
communications TO Yang Tsun, brought
forward supplies and established this

be clear for the advance of the larger
force on the 18th. The capture of Yang

Is telegraphic communication with the
army in the field. Aside from the as
surance that this gives speedy trans
mission of news from the front IL gives
the additional assurance that the line
is intact back to the first base of opar-
ations. The capture of Yang Tsun ON
the day following the battle of Petit

in view of the fact that 1t was looked

With the exception of these messages
General Chaffee's report is the only ac-
count published by the London morn

Yang Tsun.
The editorials generally incline to
view the progress towards reking as
splendid thus far. but one which cannot
be maintained at the present rapid rate,
as the concentration of supplies and
the establishment of bases will cause
inevitable delays.
