The distance from Tien Tsin to Pekin is over eighty miles. General phaffeeaind the aAUad forces have agin suTpTioodL the officials fey the Tapidity of their advance. It was thought by army officials that small bands of the enemy might 'try to cover the retreat of the main body, and though no serious engagements were 'looked for until (the foreign troop reached Tung Chou no one was pre- fiared to believe that tthe advance would be made as rapidly as it was from Tien Tsin to Ho Si Wu, where Chaffee cabled from on the 10th in stant. This cablegram bears out the supposition that the Chinese have tak en 'back to Pekin, and it is not improb able that since the international troops have marched so rapidly -'that they are now in the vicinity of Tung Chou, where 4t is thought the first great bat tie wik' take place.
