This important strategic point was not relinquished by the Chinese without a fight, but nothing ia known yet aa to the amount of their resistance. That the Americans participated in this battle is shown by General Chaffee's report that Lieutenant Lang of the Ninth infantry was wounded and that the casualties in the American force amounted to about 60. This number is supposed by war department officials to include those reported by General Chaffea as overcome by heat and fatigue.

Remember the name, Doan's, and take no substitute. lb South Main St. Much encouragement is derived from General Chaffee's dispatch, which is taken as Indicating that the international forces are advancing much more rapidly than had been believed possible. After the early Sunday morning fight the troops rested until the next morning. Then they crossed the Pel-Ho, made a forced march of 12 miles and captured Yang-tsun on the same day. The conviction that little opposition is to be expected from the Chinese troops, based on yesterday's report of the taking of Pietsang, is strengthened by this dispatch, and It is not expected that the co-operating forces will find their advance seriously disputed by the Chinese until the neighborhood of Peking is reached.

What has been done during the four days since General Chaffee's report was written can only be surmised, but war, department officials believe that anothei advance has been made. It is thought probable that after the severe work of Monday the troops needed rest and that Tuesday and Wednesday were devoted to getting supplies to the front and preparing the various commands for the advance which it is believed took place yes terday.
