Tho fight prohably occurred near Tlrn Tsln. as tho Sixth rnvaliy was at that place at the time mentioned. This cablo adds nothing to the Informa tion In rosscs'slon of the department relative to military movements, as It Is slniply (Ion oral Chaffee's belated official report of an engagement previously reported by Admiral Remey In a cablo dated Taku, August 20, In which ho said.

Tho description of the action given by General Chalfce tallies Identically with that previously reported by Admiral Remey In the foregoing cubic and Is Identified with It by War department nftliinls. Tho explanation 'of the delay In tho War de partment's report In that Oolonol Wlnt probably forwarded his report to his su perior at Pekln and General Chaffee then sent It nfllclally to Washington. Although General Chnlfco's cable Is dat"d Taku, It Is assumed that It was forwarded from Pekln over tho field telegraph line or by courier. It Is assumed, however, that the field telegraph communication Is Inter rupted and that tho dispatch reached Taku by courier. The fact that tho dispatch was sent from Taku today was extremely gratifying, an It proves that tho cablo be tween Taku and Clio Foq Is working and that there is no longer any Interruption on the land lines from tho latter point to Shanghai. There was general disappointment that General Chaffee's messngo contained no reforencn to tho operations In Pekln, hut this was explained on tho thoorthat Gen oral Ohaffeo, aHNColonel Wlnt's superior, was simply forwarding tho latter's report. It Ik possible that Colonel Wlnt's report may have reached him over the hold tel egraph on tho day of tho engagement, Au gust. 10,. and that-his 'cablo to tho dnpart mont may have occupied tho Intervening seven days, owing to tho Interruption of tho field telegraphs In getting back to Taku. This theory Is plausible In that It would account for the failure to hoar from General Chaffco since Augunt 10. tho day after tho dato of his last previous mu eaeo. Powers JlnUc o I'lniin.
