are those which give further detuiia of
the repulse of ThurBduy'H attempt to re

from Che Foo, hordea of CliinuBe witli
well-posted artillery block the wuy of the
American and UuBaiun forceB. The guna
of the nlliuB could mako no impreesion,
uud it wuh found impossible to shift the

done except to fall back, mid thia wiib
uccompliaiii'd iu good order.
It was uncurtained tbut tho foreigner

hud boon vigorously attacked, and in all
probability have been reduced to ueliu?.
After the forco retired, an armored
train attempted to reconnoiter, but was
derailed. More troops are arriving at
Taku, and another attempt at relief with
a force of much greater atrenglh was to
have been made last night.

Tide Water Level Canal Can Now Be
Built in Nicaragua.
Ni:w Yokk, June 23. In a letter to a
personal friend at Bellfonte, Pa., Dr. G
F. Wickes, formerly physician at Relic
vue Hospital, New York, and at present
surgeon of thu Nicaragua canal commis
sion, conveys nn idea of the results which
may be expected of the work of the com
mission. Dr. Wickes gives the interest
ing and startling information that the
commission has discovered a tide-water
level route fora canal across thelsthmus.
The letter bIbo shows some of the hard
ships and dangers which the commission
encountered. It was written from
Lasardi, Caledonia Bay, and in part Eays :
"Here wo have found what we all have
vainly sought for weeks and weeke, a
practical route for a tide-level canal. We
have found low enough gaps in the di
viding ridge from time to time, with a
steep approach on the Atlantic slope,
making a 'cut a practical possibility, but
disappointment has always awaited us
on the other side. But in the last week
wo have found a gap S00 feet high, a
little too high, perhaps, but not beyond
the science of modern engineering, and
when I tell you this, every fact ogainst
the route has been enumerated.
"From the summit of this gap in the
divide, both the Atlantic and Pacific
slopes drop precipitntely, especially the
latter, which Iiub heretofore been our
stumbling block. A great, wide valley
stretches out straight toward the PaefEc
ocean, which can be seen in the distance.
The Atlantic is near and in plain sight.
Here a trade-water canal, the dream of
all 'canalists,' con be built with a per
fect harbor on each side. At Lasardi,
tho many islands would protect its
mouth, and on the other side San Miguel
bay is n perfect site. Tho officers of the
Scorpion say that the Ltaardi harbor
alone makes this route worth $50,000,000
more than any other. The damming of
rivers, which would otherwise flood the
canal, is u problem of every route. The
only thing to be Eaid against this route
is the high cout of 800 feet.
'Of course congress may not accept
the report of the commission, but it re
mains an indisputable fact this is par
excellence the future route for a trans
continental canal route. It really seems
possible that we hayerefound Selfridge'a
Caledonian route, discovered during bis
three years' work here in the early 70s."
Ti.o routo suggested from Caledonia
bay to tho gulf of San Miguel lies about
130 miles euet of the old Panama-Colonial
routo. The proposed lino would connect
tho gulf of Darien mid the bay of Panama.
At that place tho Isthmus of Darien is
about thirty-five miles wide.

Wheeler said :
"Tlio war in tho Philippines is prac

China. General Hall, who is to com
mand in China, I regard us n most able

He will win bis promotion in China."
Concerning his probable attitude if

"As long as 1 am in the army and
can roinain in it, I will have nothing to
do with politics."
