WASHINGTON, July 21. Two dis patches from the Chinese officials and one from Admiral Reiuey, at Taku, re presented the news development of the day, so far as the Chinese situa tion was coneerneil. The Chinese dis patches were' corroliorative, ', or were -..Intended'. to 1, of the Important news of yesterday, relative to the state of the legations. Admiral Remeys dls rftch, afctdefrora the list of casualties, already transmitted in the British cipher., was the most important. It con veyed "the disagreeable news that th, . . . . i 1 i l : - international commit iyouiu iiui inn its advance 'upon Pekin lief ore. the t middle of August. His notice was r eelved Itfre with consternation. In view5 of Minister Conger's advice of thedes tierate position the legut loners- were In on the llh. j The delay Js Incomprehensible to tht. officials here. It Is known that'.. the army, already formidable in numbers and composed of veteran soldiers, ' h t Tien Tsin and Taku, and. with cour ageous leaders. It 'was 'expected tfai this -would push on at, once, cutting loose from Ms base. If nted 1.

It is possible to lira w two conclus- . toint of proceeding cooly and dclilsn ately ou the first supiJositlon. namely. 41iat there are no foreigners alive In -Pekin -to 1h saviil, and that. -onso-qucntty, there Is no meil for haste. The otlier i-ouchision s tha tj" fiiethm 1s developing timouc Intfrhaticnais In spite of the earnest endeavors of the Powers, whose mollves as to China ore so far unimpeachable, to prevent It. Color Is lent -to this latter theory, by the fact Hint the tSovermncnts' have so far leen unable to a scree upon an In tertiational commander for tlie cxiwdl tlon to Pekin. and this. twi. In spitcof he fact that Admiral Iteniey, acting by the Instructions of his Uoverninent, Is .exhausting every effort to induce the" -other commanders at .Taku and Tien Tsin t hasten their movements. It has b'en suggested here that Sener: si Chaffee will, if umk! 1h. leave the other commanders to their devlcs. and lead the way .to-Pekin himself. Ills brother officers in the War Ie partment say that he Is quite comp'! rnt to unilertake this task. Others de clare that, with the small force of Americans at his Command, the. at tempt would te suicidal, even if Chaf fee were supported by the British. BELIEF IN CONCiEIt. Washington. July 21.

The request of Sec retary of State Hay, to the Towers, to nijike, an Immediate forward move ment upon Pekin. Is not likely to meet wlthyiny success In England. Ird Salisbttry Is just as eager as the Amer ican Secretary of State to adopt such a steftr but he Is practically convinced that It will not be possible until Sep tember, owing to the local conditions and the allies' lack of equipment. Be yond the courteous reply that England Is? willing to co-operate In any move ment that the commanders, on , th. sot may deem advisable, nothing is likely to come of the latest American efTort to reach the Chinese capitol. for all of the advices received here Indi cate that a dash toward Pekin, lu the Immediate future, would not be a. mil itary success. The Government's at titude may be taken as a philosophic determination to grin and lear it, hop ing for the best, yet fearing the worst, until troops and the-climatic conditions enable the powers to enter Pekin and ascertain, without the shadow of a doubt, the extent and cause of China's r.i-K.nt distenzration. .v.- Until that W accomplished, every opinion worth - - - , ,,.,, a-riH'Il I I 1 1 i asm rurkn.iiiit nor omv r fI l , lh future of China, but also is to nature and severity of the retri bution to lm exacted.
