passengers were cut by flying glass.
Water poured in through the windows

Seymour had about 1850 men, most

last steamer arriving at Che Foo from
Taku brought this message, dated
Tien Tsin, Monday, June 25. ''The
Russian general in command of the
relief force had decided, in view of
Saturdays heavy fighting and march
ing, that one days rest for the troops
was essential and that the advance
should not be resumed until to-day
Meanwhile came Admiral Seymour's
heliograph that his position was des-
perate and that he could only hold
out two days. The relief started at
dawn Monday"
Saturdays fighting began at day
break. The guns of the allies were
skillfuly handled and put the guns
of the Chinese out of action one by
one, the Chinese retreating about
noon. There was keen rivalry among
the representatives of the various ma
tons as to which would enter Tien
Tsin first and the Americans and
British went in neck and neck. The
Russians stormed the arsenal, thereby
sustaining the largest losses.
According to dispatch from New
Chwang, the Russians there are bare
" able to cope with the situation.
The Chinese, it appears, are burning
all the railroad material, killing iso-
lated Russians at every opportunity
and destroying the coal mines.
