SOME CROOKED WORK. Telpuranis From China Hear Evi dence of Interference. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2!). - Several communications came to Washington from the United States otlicials in China yesterday, but being datuless iu most tasos the government was by uo means satisfied with the state of communica tions, and the cabinet meeting gave the larger part of its attention to the prob em of rectifying this state of uflairs. Evidences of Interference with the mes sages have accumulated to a point where the government has determined to take Bteps to establish channels of its own, even if it is necessary to employ the rather expensive device of n liiau-of-war plying between Shanghai and Chefu for this purpose. Meanwhile word comes that rapid progress is making with the shore cable, which is to connect thesu points, and it is believed that within a week this means of communication will bo open. Three messages from Oonernl Chaffee were received, and while they cast uo di rect light on the military situation they were inferentially important. The gen eric's statement that he needs no siege battery, taken in connection with the di version of the l-'irst cavalry, which was bound for Taku, to Manila, seems to make clear that there is no intention to enter into a prolonged cauipaign in China such as would involve the use of heavy artillery or of re-enforcciuents iu the shape of men and horses. At the same time It cannot be said that the govern ment bus shown any sign of a purpose to ubaudou any just claim it may huve se cured upon China through the brilliant operations of the little American force iu the Flowery Kingdom. Hut it begins to appear that the bin tie of today is one of diplomacy rather than one of arms, and notwithstanding the various rumors that have filtered out from Chinese sources of heavy engagements between the interna tional forces ami the Itoxers the officials here are satislied that no formidably or ganized resistance will be oll'ered by the Chinese if the demands of the powers ure limited to the principles laid down by the United Ststes iu its several notes. After the cabinet meeting It was an nounced that the government was iu a waiting attitude regarding the Chinese situation. The lack of late advices from Peking and the failure of the powers to show their hands as to their future poli cy makes it necessary for this govern ment to await developments.
