General James II. Wilson Of the army
has written to a friend in Washington
from Pekin as follows:
ANY one who has not been here
and seen the ruin and |desolation pre-
vailing, or examined the evidences Of
the conflict which ragged about the le-
cations, can form no correct idea Of
what the latter have gone through. 1t
is II of the most notable episodes in
the whole range of history, and the
minister, secretaries and military and
naval officers who took part i'm the de-
Tense are likely to appear more heroic
as time goes on than they do now.
where all did we'll it is invidious to par
ticularize, but / cannot withhold a word
of praise for Mr.. Squiers, our secretary
of legation, an eX-otficer Of the cavalry,
who showed himself to be a man not
only of pluck and courage, but of ex-
cellent military judgment. He was the
soul Of the defense, and as chief Of
staff to Sir Claude Macdonald, the
nominal head, had matters practically
in his W hands. Captain Myers of
the marine corps was his most heroic
assistant. The vigilance, constancy
and increasing courage of this officer
are an honor to his name and profess
sion. 1t is safe to say that without
these two men the chances against the
legation would have been greatly in
creased"
