and fatigue; next move is yet unknown.
The general commanding the English at
the front telegraphs:
"'We marched from Peitsang nine miles
toward Yang 'Tsun, when we formed Tor
an attack with the Americans on the right
and the Russians on the left. After RAPID
advance of three miles under hot rifle
and shell fire our troops carried the first
line of defense. Casualties were about %
killed or death from sunstroke.'
"REMEY."
The chief interest in the Chaffee dis
patch as made public by the navy depart
ment is the indication that the American
command was in the thick of the fight at
the capture of the important town of Yang
1sung, but the reference to the deaths from
sunstroke indicated that the international
forces were undergoing terrible privatlons
from the tropical weather along the Pei-ho
river.
