DELAYED DISPATCH.
General Chafee Has Not Heard from
Washington Since He Entered
the City Of Pekin.
CHINESE RIOlING AT Annoy
Wealthy Cinnamon and Europeans Are
Leaving That City y-The Oastine Has
Been Ordered to Amoy-A Very
Complicated Situation.

Washington, August 20. .-Adjutant
General Corbn received dispatch from
General Chaffee saying that he (Chatfee)
received no dispatches from Gen. Corbin
since August 14th. This IS the date on
which the allied army attacked and en-
tered Pekin. Many dispatches have
been sent by General COrbm since that
date and the delay in their delivery Is
astonishing, even with the strange con-
ditions which have existed in China.
Like the Conger dispatches, the one from
General Chaffee is undated. The only
explanation that can be made about this
lack of dates is that the dispatches have
been butchered en- route, probably on
the way through China.

Washington, Aug. 2s.-A cabIegram
has been received at the state depart
ment from the United States Consul
johnson at Annoy, China, relative to the

ment announces that the Castine sailed

cordance with departments orders. 1t
