question of means of communication be

of jealousies between the powors and
other dispatches from Tien Tsin show
the lauguage difficulty has been ham
pering the military operations
A dispatoh to the Dally News from
Tien T6in dated July 14 aud doscrib
lng the fighting says Oolonol Lis
cum mistook tho road and was nearly
isolated Goneral Dorward on a pre
mature report from tho Japanese coin
mapder that the city had been outerod
ordered a general advance which
proved a costly error
Much valuable time was lost aud
trouble occasioned yesterday because
the messengers between General Fuku
shima and General Dorward did not
understand each otherja language
The Tien Tsin correspondent of the
Daily Mail says that when tho Chines
regulars saw the Boxers who led tho
attack being killed they began to re
tire Ho asserts that the admirals have
decided that it will bo usoless to move
toward Peking without at least G0OOO
men In an editorial referring to this
statement tho Daily Mail comments on
the Amorican proposal to advanco with
7000 men It says Wo have learned
in Africa how dangerous it is to despise
our enomies and in the interest of civ
ilization we do not wish to seo such a
lesson read to tho United States by tho
heathen Chinee
A batch of Tien Tsin dispatches are
published today All praise the gal
lautry of tho Americans and the Jap
aneso The Standard correspondent
says that the Americans at first mado a
mistako in underestimating tho fighting
capacity of tho Chinese whose fire was
really terrific He expressed some
doubt about tho ability of the allies to
hold tho positions captured unless they
aro roinforced It appears that largo
hauls of silver were made by tho allies
the metal being carried away in buckets
aud tho Chinese calmly assisting
Tho Shanghai correspondent of tho
Times telegraphing Monday Bays In

iterated his statement that if the Man
chu party had beon guilty of the horri
ble treachory involved in a massacre of
tho members of tho legations he would
absolutely refuse to attempt to negoti
ate Ho said the present intention of
tho was to memorialize
the empress dowuger to revictual the
legationers aud then arrange to send
them to Tien Tsin under the escort of
Genoral Liug Ho declared that the
fighting had ceased and that tho foreign
troops wero holding a position south of
