London, July 1.-THE Shanghai cor
respondent of the Evening News tele-
graphing under date of July II, says:
"The allied troops resumed the attack
upon the walled city of Tien Tsin on
the morning OF July IA. and succeeded
I'm preaching the walls and capturing
all the forts. The Chinese were com
pletely routed, and the allies took pos
session Of the native city and its de-
fenses."
The guns of the allies did immense
damage to the native city, causing
many large conhagrations, and finally
silenced the majority Of the enemy's
guns simultaneously. Then $500 Rus
SLAMS, assisted by small parties of
Germans and French, assaulted and
captured eight guns that were in po-
sition on the railway embankment
and the fort, the magazine Of which
the French subsequently blew up. A
body OF American, British, Japanese
and Austrian troops then made a
sortie and attacked the west arsenal,
which the Chinese had reoccupied.
After three hours Of the hardest fight
ing yet experienced the Chinese fed.
Admiral Rsnsy Confirms IT,
Washington, July l7.--Admiral Re-
mey Tuesday cabled the navy depart
ment that the city and ports of Tien
Tsin are In the hands of the allies.
His list of killed and wounded is some
what fuller than Mondays report, but
still not entirely complete. His dis
patch follows:
Che Foo. July 17.-To-day hope to get
wounded from Tien Tsin either In hos
pital at Taku or aboard Solace. Com
munication very uncertain. Following
casualties confirmed: Marines. Capt Da-
Wis, killed; Capt. Lemly. Lieut. Butler
and Leonard wounded. Army-Col Liscum
| killed; Reagan and Lee. Capt. Noyes.
| Brewster and Bookmiller, Lieut.. Naylor,
Lawton, Hammond and Waidron wound
ed Total killed aud wounded reported
7n; Russians and Japanese lost heavily;
our total loss reported. 2i5: about 10 ma
rines, but number believed to be exaE-
geratsd. Have ofiicer on shore especially
to get authentic number of names, which
will be promptly telegraphed. City and
forts now In hands Of allies
The whole Chinese situation ma
terially frightened upon the receipt
Of Admiral Remey's cable. The Asso-
ciated press dispatch showing that
this was the native walled city,
cleared up an ambiguity that was
contained in the admiral's dispatch
and swept away the last doubt in the
ofiicial mind as TO the importance of
the victory. The hostile Chinese have
been driven out Of the shelter of the
city into the open plain, and the al
lied force has qusdrupled its efficiency
in combat by placing the Chinese in
this position. II is not doubted that
the, forward movement on Pekin will
begin as soon as cavalry contingent
has arrived from Japan, which should
be within q day or two.

Of the empire, and Tien Tsin, where
the first great battle has just oc'
