Washington, August 28. A dispatch
received at the Japanese legation today
from the foreign ollleo of Japan, con
veying tho latost nnd most nuthontic
information of tho situation in and
nround Pekin. In it measure the ad
vicos wore of a disquieting nntnro as
they indicated that tho Ohinoco had
rallied their forces and woio preparing
for an attack upon tho allies in Pekin.
If it should prove that tho allied forces
were besieged in Pekin it would ac
count for the lack of advices from Goii-
eial Chaffoo. As made public by Min
ister Taknhira tho dispatch from tho
Japancso foroigu ollieo at Tokio is as
follows:
"An official telegram, dated Pokin,
August 18, was received at Tokio from
General Vamnguchi, commander of the
Japanese forces, to tho following effect:
Tho capital is now entirely cleared of
tho enemy. A cavalry regiment which
had been sent to Wan Shan Shan
(where the empross dowager's palaco
s located), reports that tho imporial
family, who had left Pekin August 14,
started, aftor a short rest at Wan Shau
Shan for tho west, and wero under the
escort of General Maa and his troops,
oonsisting of only about 600 horsemen
and 20 carts. Tho Japancso forces oc-
upied the treasury department, iu
which ovor 2,000,000 taels in silver
and n lurgo quantity of rico wero
found.'
"Another tolegraphio dispatch, dated
Taku, August 23, btatos that ns the
Chiuoso troops and Boxers, who had
gathered at Nan Yuen, wero about to
attack the foreign forces at Pckin, Ja
panese and Russian cavalry wero ex
pected to encouutor thorn, ou tho 20th.
The dispatch fuither states that Chi
nese infantry, 9,000 strong, with 15
guns, are advancing from Shan lung
to mako u rear attack on tho allios."
A copy of tho dispatch was transmit
ted to Acting Secretary Adee, at tho
department of stato and by him fur
nished to tho president. While tho
news of a possible rear attack upon tho
comparatively small forco of tho allies
was not leceived with surpiise, genor
ally, it was not regarded as serious, as
the foreign forces aro believed to be
abundantly able to tako care of them
selves against any force of Chinese
likely to be sent ngnimt them.

from tho tompatiy'H experimental farm
at Walla Walla. Hut largo iiinntllioX

Tho exhibit consisted of C8 different

remarked Mr. Judeon. "I had exer
cised great euro iu the selection of tho

remarkable recognition of tho lesourros
