there. and presumably TO gather what in

For this reason It was expected that be

P.kin would begin. According 10 - naval
authorities. Admiral Remey's dispatch gave
no information OF the present strength Of
the foreign troops now ready 10 begin the
campaign although IL Is thought here that
they are numerous enough to force their
way to the Chinese capital and successful

feared will be met Oh the way there.

by Admiral KempH for the Chinese cam

In the field.
The failure OF tie relief column under
