/ Wnahlngton, A^ipT 7.—interest In
1hr- Chilli'He situation was Intvnsi-
flrvl this morning h.v the receipt of
two dispatches from naval officers at
I'jjj. j,"00> repenting tinnfficinl, hut
apparently reliable reports of active
anil extensive hostilities between the
hllieil forces and the Chinese on the
line between Tien Tsln and I’ekln.
The dispatches indicate unmistakably
thnt the relief column has starteil in
earnest and that it is meeting with
determined opposition. Although
neither of the dispatches mention
the presence of American troops in
the reported engagement, It is gen-
erally assumed at the war department
thnt at least a part of den. I hnITee s
amall army was on hand and took an
active and aggressive part In the uf-
fair. The dispatches are ns follows:
“Che Koo, An if. 6.—llurenn Naviga-
tion. Washington: British Fame re-
ports. unofficial, engngement nt i'elt-
sanK. Sunday morning from three
o'clock to 10:30. Allied loss, killed
and wounded. 1,200. chiefly Itussiana
and Japanese. Chinese retreating—
Taussig."
“Che Koo. Aug. 0.— llurenn Nnviga-
1Ion, Washington: Offlclnl report 1*«-
llcve relinhle. ulmiit 10.000 allies heav-
ily engaged Chinese nt 1’eltsnng day-
light of the llth—llemey.”
Taussig, who signed the first dis-
patch, is In command of the York-
town. which is nt Che Foo.
IVitsang is the first railroad sta-
tion about six miles northwest of
Tien Tsln en route to Pekin.
According to the dispntches In pos-
session of the war department the
town of Peltsang Is at the head of
1 )de water on the Pei Ho river, be-
tween 11 nnd 12 miles by road beyond
Tien Tsln. It is a village of mud huts
of considerable size, hut not walled.
The river nt this point is not naviga-
ble by anything Inrger than a good
sized steam launch, nnd It was
thought thnt the troops probably
reached there in small boats, towed
l»v the naval launches. The country
nil along the river between Pekin
nnd Tien Tsln is a low. alluvial plain
nlntost impassable fur wheeled vehi-
cles in the wet season, and under
tpilte a high state of cultivation. It
presents no natural defensive feat
vires and the war department knows
no strategic reason why the Chinese
should have made a stand here rather
Hum at any other dozen villages east
of the waited town of Tung Chow,
were is stored an Immense amount
of provisions upon which the city of
J*ekin would have to depend in ease
of siege.
From the fact thnt the engagement
lasted seven and a half hours, it is
argued in the department that either
the Chinese must have been heavily
entrenched or there was an Immense
horde of them to so stubbornly con-
test the advance of the 10,000 inter-
national troops. It is figured by mil-
itary experts thnt a loss of 1.200 killed
and'wounded on the part of the allies
probably means a loss of from three
to six times as many of the Chinese.
It Is possible tlint a blow of tills inng-
nitadr may break the resistance of
the Chinese to the advance of the for-
eign column, but’on the other hand.
)t is possible tlint tliis may be one
of the large number of places on the
rond that linvc been Intrenched with
„ view to falling back and contesting
the foreign advance so as to delay as
long ns possible the arrival of the
foreigners nt Pekin. Cnlrss the op-
position suddenly breaks down, the
military experts look for n desperate
engagement when the troops reach
the walled fit.' of Tung Chow, which
Js said to l>e rVt'U more favorably lo-
ettjed frr purposes of defense titan
was Tien 'I sin.
The position of the 1 tilted Mates
dlolonistleally remains unchanged,
Tills government will not consent to
t|,c removal of the ministers and for-
eigners from Pekin until there i«
free communication by the powers
with the ministers. Nor will tins
government consent to eonimunicst«
Ip plain language alone, hut insists
that cipher messages must pass free-
jv 1 s-twren Minister Conger and our
gtate department.
It Is emphatically late,I thnt unless
purl, message, are exchanged, the
t'nited States cannot know beyond
nitration that the message* wye not
gurtdrd nnd U’tb the l ulled Male*
government and the ministers misted.
There seems lo lie no doubt about
Hie safe! v of the ministers at IVkin
t|,p present. nnd they will remain
where they will be able Ip protect

T.nndon. Aug. 7. \*l«n»ntl Seymour,
wbo commands the defenses at Shang-
hai. reports Hint the viceroy of Nank-
ing has agreed to the landing ot a.OOt)
British troops to protect Shanghai.
Are the American people weary of
war? Have they had enough yet of
the extru penny on the telegram nnd
the express receipt, the two cents on
the hank check, the multitudinous,
exactions—falling not at all on the
corporations, lightly on the very rich
and most onerously on the |>cople of
rlender ineuns—which go to make up
the war tax?
Are they sick of the daily bulletins
of the dead and crazed sacrificed in
l.uxon to keep down an insurrection
officially reported as suppressed a
year ago? Do they count the cost of
the Philippine experiment nnd con-
sider what $100,000,000 a year could
do here at home, expended in irriga-
tion to make the western deserts blos-
som like the rose, employed to estab-
lish government telegraphs, a parcels
post, a great national university, a
ship canal from the lakes to the sen.
a government railroad which would
act as a check to the extortions of the
privately owned monopolies?
If tile people have become thus
weary. If they are thus questioning
they are ready to consider the veiled
menace in this utterance by Col. I>ick,
Hanna's campaign manager, nnd one
of the men who is growing rich from
the pickings of the McKinley admin-
istration:
“The status in China i* very threat-
ening. and events there may change
the whole political situation here. 1
sup|w>se on one denies thnt this gov-
ernment. ought to protect American.
In Chinn, and if in doing so we should
l>e brought into a war with Chinn or
any other power there would be but
one party in this country ns long n«
the trouble lasted, nnd thnt would ha
the administration party.”
There stands out the wish thnt Is
fntlicr to the thought. With what
seal will Hanna and Dick and Brother
Abner nnd Neeley and the rest of the
vultures that fatten on the fruits of
McKlnleviam rush to the defense of
Americans In Chinn If by so doing
they will hold the profitable control
of government for years to come.
Protect- Americans in Chinn? Of
course, nnd American, everywhere
else ns well. But a president who has
rushed nn Into a long, costly nnd
bloody war in the Philippines with-
out the consent anil scarcely with the
knowledge of congress ennnot he
trusted to cope with this < hinese
situation alone, when his own close
advisers admit thnt his personal polit-
ical Interests would be greatly ad-
vii need by « wnr.
The country stands to-day nt a
point more critical than any it hne
occupied since IBM. A lingering wnt
l„ the Philippines saps its strength.
Its soldiers and sailors lire enveloped
in the storm and the intrigue of the
coins sal Chinese field of battle. At
Washington Is a mercenary, imperial-
ist ie government, which has profited
vastly already, politically and flnnn-
dally, by one war. nnd which
sees In n second nnd greater one
hope of indefinite continuance in
power. With true imperialistic
self-assertion, the president refuse,
to call congress together, ami any
dav Americans may find thnt the
Intrigues or the incompetence of n
gang of scheming politicians have
dragged this nation into a wnr with
half of Europe.
What is the defense of the people.
First, compel the president to call
congress in extra session.
Second, drive an administration
which can't Is- trusted from power in
November. Willis .1. Abbot, in Chica-
go American. __
