tington street, east
London, June 20.—The dispatch from
Che Foo, giving Bear Admiral Kempff 1
important announcement of the relief of
Tien Tsin Jane 23, remained for hoars
the sole news of this occurrence of world
wide experience! A.boat 1 o’clock the
Hong-Kong and Shanghai banks’ Lon
don branch received confirmation of the
news and at about the same time Mr.
Dawson, a delegate from Singapore to
the congress of Association of Chambers
of Commerce of the United Kingdom,
now in session here, informed his fellow
delegates amid load cheering that he
had just received a dispatch from his
son announcing the relief of Tien Tsin.
The news reached Berlin late from the
German consul at Che Foo, who an
nounced that the relief oolomn entered
Tien Tsin daring the afternoon of Jane
23 and started again Jane 24 to rescue
Vice Admiral Seymour, who, with the
foreign ministers, was said to be occa^
* ig a position 12f* miles from Tien
i, where he was surrounded ‘and
hard pressed by a great force of Boxers
and Chinese regulars. „
Possibly the Japanese report that Sey
mour is a prisoner and that the minis
ters had Peking guarded by Chinese sol
diers is merely a distorted version of the
Berlin story. Bat, in any event, defi
nite hews may be expected speedily, and
it is confidently believed here Seymour
and his companions will be safely deliv
ered from their plight.
According to the report of a China
man refugee, who has arrived at Shang
hai, the condition at Tien Tsin is horri
ble. Everywhere on the streets are the
bodies of men and women, Americans
as well as all other nationalities. The
Hong-Kong and German banks, he adds,
were both destroyed early daring the
bombardment.
Shanghai also reports that the Amer-
loo-Russian relief force was so badly am-
boshed that the forces were obliged to
abandon several field guns and much
ammunition. About 180 Russians and
11 Americans were killed or wounded.
The German gunboat litis and a Rus
sian torpedo boat destroyer are patrolling
the Pei Ho river and raking with ma
chine gnus the native villages on the
river bank.
A dispatch from Canton says that city
remains qniet, bnt the female mission
aries from the outlying districts ore
coming in on account of the warnings of
Christian Chinese,
Although it is officially said at Canton
that Id Hong Chang will not go to Pe
king, he continues his prepara tlonsJfor
departure.
A telegn
telegram from the governor of ^Jao
Chon, dated June 25, which has reached
Berlin, announces that, according to re
ports from Chinese sources, Vice Admiral
Seymour’s force has reached Peking.
Tins is probably a reiteration of the pre
vious reports on the same subject.
Chinese Warships Off Shanghai.
Paris,' Jane 26.—M. Delcasse, l
minister of foreign affairs, has informed
the cabinet council that the French con
sul at Shanghai telegraphed under date
of June 24 that all was quiet ill the

Kiang valley and. in Sze Chuen province.
The minister added that no news had
been received from Peking, and that 11
Chinese warships were lying off Shang
hai. •

Why Don’t You Dress that Wound
Other Regiments To Follow Imme
diately—General Chaffee Ordered To
the Orient to Take Command of the
United States Forces.
Washington, Jane 26.—After a day
of uncertainty and suspension offioial in
formation came with a rush concerning
the force operating at Tien Tsin and
those seeking to break throngh to Pe
king. Admiral Kempff’s dispatch and
that from Consul Fowler, at Che Foo,
both confirmed the reports that the com
bined forces which have been operating
near Tien T.-in entered the citf June 23.
The admiral added the welcome intelli
gence—“Loss very small.”
This,is flie relief column including
Major Littleton Waller and 130 United
States marines which suffered a repulse
of their first movement. Beyond the
brief statement of four killed and seven
wounded nothing has come as fo the
casualties of this first attack, bnt the re
sult of the second movement, which has
been awaited with deepest concern, is
now cleared up by the administration's
reports. It remains vet to be reported
bow the relief oolu tnn found affairs at
Tien Tsin, where, according to the un
official reports of last week,anarchy pre
vailed and the foreign quarters were de
stroyed.
But the admiral's report turned atten
tion into a new direction by the state
ment that the Peking relief force is re
ported 10 miles from Tien Tsin sur
rounded. This is the first word of any
kind that has located the party of 2,500
under Vice Admiral Seymour, and in
cluding Captain McCalla. with 100
United States marines. The last heard
of them was on June 13, when they were
stalled at Lang Fang, about two-thirds
of the way from Tien Tsin to Peking,
short of supplies and water, the railroad
torn up and with a menacing army of
Chinese about them.
It is to succor this Seyniour party that
the latest expedition left Tien Tsin Juno
24.
The first body of foreign troops, about
450 in number and, including 56 Ameri
can marines, which went to Peking to
guard the legations, is” thought to have
got through. The first force which went
aiust Tien Tsin, including Major
'aller’s marines and 400 Russians, was
repulsed with loss. This was reinforced
to 2,000 men and the reinforced body
entered Tien Tsin June 23. On June 24
a relief column started to the assistance
of tho force 10 miles from Tien Tsin.
These several bodies are widely sepa
rated and show the extent of the pres
ent field of action.
Chinese Minister Calls on Hay.
Before Secretary Hay left for the cab
inet meetiug he received Chinese Minis
ter Wu, who renewed in a formal man
ner tho earnest request that foreign
troops be kept out of China until Lj
Hung Chang could reach Peking. This
time the request was made in a written
document bearing the signatures of the
six great viceroys of China from Canton
to Shan Tung, including Li Hung Chang
himself. The answer of the United
States government stands as at first,
however; the viceroys are informed that
there can be no abatement of effort to
secore the safety of our officials and cit
izens. The plans of the war department
are somewhat cleared op by the an
nouncement that Brigadier General
Chaffee, one of the regular army officers,
who participated in the Cuban cam
paign, will have command of such troops
> to China.
io news that the Ninth infantry will
sail from Manila tomorrow for Taku was
received with pleasure at the war de-
rtment. General Corbin says the reg-
ient will compare favorably with any
similar organization sent bv any of the
other foreign governments in China.
The Ninth has been recruited to its
fullest possible limit of 1,170 men, and
is provided with an ample supply of
field guns, tents and complete field
equipment. It goes to China prepared
for active field servioe and is thoroughly
equipped in the matter of transportation
and subsistence supplies for a long cam-
ign. The regiment is commanded by
ilonel Lise inn, one of the bravest and
most disoreet officers in the army.
The trip from Manila to Taku will be
made on the transport Logan and Port
Albort, the latter carrying transporta
tion outfit and machine vessel guns.
The vessels will sail at their highest
rate of speed and will probably reach
Takn by next Monday.
The navy department has been in
formed that the gunboat Princeton has
sailed from Cavite for Canton.

that when Iransas City is reached a
definite campaign may be announced.
Mr. Croker would not say what action
he and Sear .tor Murphy had agreed
upon, but one of his friends admitted
that he was out for 16 to 1. Mr. Croker
went down to Tammany Hall and had a
talk with the district leaden. This talk,
however*, had no political significance,
unless cue of the vice presidential booms

booms, the most prominent of which is

received assurance of support from del
egations from the south and other states.
