Honck, drnggtat, No. 4 N. ICaln St., Pittston.Three messages from General Chaffer have been received, and while they cast no direct light on the military situation they were inferentially important. The general's statement that he needs no siege battery, taken in connection with the diversion of the First cavalry, which was bound for Taku. to Manila, seems to make clear that there is no intention to enter into a prolonged campaign in China as would involve the use of heavy artilUiry or of re-enforcements in the shape of men and horses. At the same time it cannot be said that the government has shown any signs of a purpose to abandon any just claim It may have pecured upon China through the brilliant operations of the little American force in Jbe Flowery Kingdom. But it begins to appear that the battle of today ifl one of diplomacy rather than pne of arms, and notwithstanding the various rumors that have filtered out irom tuinvHr eonrces 01 neavy engagements between the international forces and the Boxers the officials here are satisfied that no formidably organized resistance will be offered by the Chinese if the demands of the powers are limited to the principles laid down by the United States in its several notes.
