Washington, Vug. 7. Interest in
thc Cliiin -<? situation w.as intensified
Monday morning by the receipt ol
two dispatches from navsl officer Bl
( he-Foo, repesting unofficial, but np*
parently reliable, reports of active
?ntl extensive hostilities between the
alli.-d forces and the (hine*,- on tbe
line between Tien-Tsin and Peking.
Thc dispatches indicate unmistakably
thnt the relief column has st art ct] In
earnest. an,| that it is meeting with
determined opposition. Although
neither ol' the naval dispatches men*
timi the presence nf American troopa
in il.*' reported engagements, it is gm
emily assumed af the war department
thal nt least n part of Gen. Cha (Tee's
small army was on hand and took
an nctive and aggressive part in the
alla ir.
The dispatches are as follows:
"Che-Foo. Aug. (5. Ilnreaii Naviga?
tion, Washington: llritish Panie re?
ports, unofficial, engagement at pict
san*.'. Still*l.i\ morning, ,'l to 10:30. Al?
lied lost, Killed and wounded, 1,300,
chiefly Russians and Japanese. Chi?
nese retreating. TAl'SSic."
"Che-Foo, Aug. 6.- Bureau Naviga?
tion. Washington: Official report i>c
lieved reliable; nliout 16,00(1 allies

According to the Information In

? in is a low, alluvial plain, almost
ipassable for wheeled vehlclea In tlie ;
"t season, and under qnitl a high
ate of cultivation.
lt presents no natural defensive air
i>tures. and the war department I ll
iowa no strategic reason why the
in,sc should have made a stand
ere rather than at any other of the j
/en villages east of the walled town jKl
Tung Chow, where ls stored an im- id,,
?nse nm.mn* of provisions upon ]1(.r

?'rom tin- foci thal the engagement son
ted seven and n half hours, it is ,.?.,
rued in the department that either j,,.,.
? Chinese must have been heavily f)*
rencli?.,l or that there was an im-;*ol.
use horde ol them to so stubbornly j,er
itcst the advance of the 10,000 In*
national troops, It is figured by
itary experts that a loss of 1,200
ed and wounded <m the part of the
es probably means a loaa of from
ce to six times as many by the
nese. it is possible that a blow
(his magnitude maj break the re
anee of the (hinese to the advance

er hand if is possible that this
be one of a targe number of
?es on the road thal have been
