The special cablnet meeting today lasted about two and a half hours. There were present besides the president, Secretary Hay, Secretary Root, Secretary Gage and Post- master General Smith. The discussion was confined almost exclusively to the Chinese situation. All the details of the situation since the president went to Canton two weeks ago were carefully gone over and a general exchange of views was had. The definite information of the wafety of the legationers at Pekin and the hope for their final rescue were considered the best fea- tures of the situation The administration desires an immediate movement on Pekin, if it can be inaugurated without too much danger, and while no new: has dome from General Chaffee that the for- ward march has begun such news is hourly oxpected.

A cipher cable message was sent to General Chaffee by Secretary Root today, which contained additional information and facts which have developed since the last mes- intermediate entanglement sage was sent to him at Nagasaki. The message contained no additional instruc- tions, but merely information which he way use as a guide to his actions, It 18 not believed at the War department that an advance has been made as yet from Tien Tsin. It is explained that the last dispatches indicated a great deal of delay in securing the transports and before any advance can be made the troops must have all thelr equipment and transporta- tion, The indications are that the plans being matured at Tien Tsin contem- plate a rapid advance when the movement begins, for it seems to be understood that there will be carried with the army a suf- ficlent quantity of supplies to maintain the troops on the march to Pekin The fact that no reports were received from General Chaffee during the day was not surprising to the War department of- ficials, who said that the general was busy preparing for the campaign and moreover communication between Taku and Che Foo is uncertain.
