WASHINGTON, July l2.--It Is inferred
at the War Department that Colonel Lis
cum and the two battalions of the Ninth
Infantry, which arrived at Taku on Friday,
have reached Tien-Tsin. Colonel Liscum
was given free hand in the matter of an
advance. and 1t is thought that by prompt
movement he already has reached the be-
leaguered city of TIen-Tsin, where, accord
ing to to-day's advices to the British Ad-
miralty. reinforcements were urgently
needed.
The news from Tien-Tsin of the unsatis-
factory relations between the allied forces
goes to confirm the War Department Of

three brigades of the volunteer veterans of
the Cuban, Indian war and of the Philip
pine jungle hunts could have achieved some
valuable results before this time had they

LONDON, July 13.-The Shangn,
hal correspondent of the Daily
Mail says the following story re-
garding the situation In Peking
emanates from Chinese official
sources: ''The two remaining lega-
tions-the British and Russian
were attacked In force on the even
ing of July 6, Prince Tuan being
in command. The attackers were
divided. Prince Tuan commanded
the center, the right wing was led
by Prince Tsai Yin and the left by
Prince Yin Lin. The reserves
were under Prince Tsin Yu. The
attack commenced with artillery
fig ghting, which was severe, and
lasted until z o'clock in the MORN
ing, by which time both legations
we're destroyed and all the foreign
ers were dead, while the streets
around the legations were full of
the dead bodies of both foreigners
and Chinese.

assistance of the foreigners, but

Another Account Of the Killing of Won
Ketteler-Only One Army Corps.

Another Account of the killing of Won
Ketteler-OnIy One Army Corps.
WASHINGTON, July l2.-The Japanese
legation has received dispatch from To-
kio giving briefly the details Of the assas-
sination of Baron Won Ketteler, at Peking,
and the fighting around Tien-Tsin. The
dispatch was sent from Toxic July 4. but
was in some way subject to great delay
around the Siberian route. 1t states that
the German minister was killed by a shot.
and that it is not known whether the mob
element or the soldiery is responsible for
the shooting. The Japanese report of the
fighting around Tien-Tsin is similar to that
already conveyed in the press dispatches.
Concerning to-days reports from Yoko-
hama that the government is being urged
to send $4,000 troops to China, Mr.. Nabe-
shima, the japanese charge, says this is
little more than press conjecture. and that
there is no present evidence that the gov
ernment has the slightest purpose of send
ing more than one army corps, or 1900
men, to China. 1t is the understanding OF
the Japanese officials here that the Fifth
Army Corps is now being put aboard trans
ports at one of the great naval stations
near Hiroshima. 1t is expected the trans
rnorts will go forward in groups as fast as
loaded, each group being accompanied by
convoy of warships to afford protection
But as Japan and China have not declared
war against each other, ii is not expected
that large convoy of war vessels will be
required. The Japanese troops will go
straight to Taku. the trip taking about
three and one-half days.

NEW YORK, July 12.-The Rev. DR.. III.
K Carroll, of the Methodist Episcopal Mis-
sionary Society, to-day received another
cablegram from the Rev. Frederick Brown,
at Che-Foo, in answer to an inquiry sent
some days ago. asking about the two sons
of DR.. II. II. Lowry. who were at Peking.
DIR. Lowry is the president of the Peking
University, but Is at present at Philadel-
phia, having come to the United States to
attend the recent General Conference. The
cablegram received to-day was as follows:
George, Catherine, Peking. Edward, Tien-
Tsin. Cora, Nagasaki." This is understood
to mean that DR.. George N. Lowry. ply
sician, and his wife, Catherine, were still
in Peking at last accounts; that Edward
Lowry, of the Chinese customs service.
has escaped to Tien-Tsin. and that Mrs.
Edward Lowry (Cora) is safe at Nagasaki.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-"On to Pc

ment. 1t is said that, regardless of the
issues raised as to the authenticity of the
last Chinese note, or the accuracy of. its
statement of fact, or the question raised
as to the responsibility for the present sit
uation, our government, at least is deter
mined not to relax its efforts to reach Pc
king, to get in touch with Mr.. Conger, if
he is alive. to take the necessary steps for
the protection of American interests, and.
In fact, to do all those things set out in
Secretary Hays note to the powers. in
cluding a reckoning with the person or
persons responsible for the outrageous
events of the past six weeks.
The good impression made by the edict
of the Chinese government, given out 81
Minister Wu yesterday, threatens to be OFF,
set to some extent. to-day, by the reports
from London, stating that Prince Tuan
was the real author of this edict and that
some Of its most forcible anti-foreign Ian
guage was omitted from the version given
out here. But at the Chinese legation these
intimations from London are dismissed as
groundless. The dispatch was received here
in Chinese, that is. in the numerals by
which the Chinese government transmits
its official code messages. This, in itself, it
is said. indicates that it came with the
sanction of those in imperial authority. as
the official code Is not known outside of
this limited circle.
Two translations were required. first
from the numerals to the Chinese. the Sec
ond from the Chinese to the English. These

the legation staff here. so that the ultimate
text, as made public. contained the phrase
ology adopted by the officials in this city.
In making their translation they say they
adhered literally to the telegraphic edct.
so that the published text contains every
thing embraced in the original. When the
Emperor, Kwan Hsu, issues an edict, he
does not sign his name, but his acts are
authenticated by SEAL which, in this case,
could not be cabled, so that the document
was authenticated as coming from the
Privy Council, the highest body of digni-
taries In China. and the one most closely
associated with the imperial household.
Following an invariable custom in time of
disorder. the War Office at Peking was in
trusted with furnishing the runners to
carry the message to the imperial treasurer
of Chilli, who, in turn, got it to Shang-
hal. From that point it was sent direct to
the various ministers the world over, COM
ing to Washington direct. instead of by the
usual route of London. Under the forego-
ing circumstances, the Chinese officials re-
gard IT as established. beyond the slightest
question. that the edict is bona fide ex-
preston from the imperial government OF
China, and. moreover that it is complete,
as given out here. without the anti-foreign
addenda sought to be put into 1T in other
quarters.
