was the date on which the allied army

astonishing, even with the strange con-
dit1ons which have existed in China
Like the Conger dispatches, the one
from Gen. Chaffee is undated. The only
explanation that can be made as to
this lack of dates is that the dispatches
have been butchered en- route, probably
