The Onn TiFs OF ahs Arnsrtoaas aud British
Described As EaeaalifuL

London, June 20. I a. m.--The cas-
ualtics Of the international, force at
lacking Ticn TSin were: Americans,
killed. J, wounded, ,; British, killed, 2,
wounded, J.; Germans, killed. IS,
wounded. -; Eu>SianE. killed, 10.
wounded. 81.
The gun fire of the Americans and
British Is described as beautiful"
After ihs relieving force pushed on
to relieve Admiral Seymour, Chinese
regulars, under Gen. Mich. says a dis
patch from Shanghai. again attacked
Tien Tsin iicrccly, and bonbarJied the
foreign settlement with a terrible fire.
Col, Dorward, British, commanded
the column that relieved Admiral Sey-
mour. American marines participated
In the achievement. The admiral was
found intrrnched and surrounded by
immense masses of Chinese, who were
driven of by the relieving column af-
ter brisk fight. Ills men had made n
brilliant resistance, never failing In
courage for rs days OF continuous
fighting, During ten days the men
were on quarter rations. They start
ed with provisions for ten days and
they could have held out only n day
or two longer.
The column was few miles beyond
I.oia. Dceming 1t hopeless to attempt
to brcak through the hortics. Admiral
Seymour REsayed a night retreat to-
ward Ticn Tsin. but he came into COLI
sion with u strong force Of Chinese
arriving from the northwest, and could
neither advance nor retreat, There
was nothing 60 do but to intrenca and
stand siege. He vainly attempted neli-
ographic communication.
Seymour's men caught several
Chinese who said the legations had
been burned and the ministers killed.
Others said that the ministers had Dccn
imprisoned.
The Chinese displayed fanatical
courage In the attack.
-Four thousand Russians left Tien
Tsin four days after Admiral Seymour,
but they never got In touch with him.
Railway communication from Taku
TO Tien Tsin has been restored. and
the force is advancing toward Pekin.
Fighting was In progress Wednesday
In the vicinity Of Use Chulin. Large
preparations src being made TO sup
port and reinforce The Fekin relieving
eolmun. Twenty thousand troops Of
all arms, largely Japanese, have now
been landed.
The fate of the members of the lega-
tions is Still a mystery. II they are
alive and uBharmed Mt Pekin. the
Chinese government deserves Home
credit, Shanghai correspondents think,
for restraining the fanactical mob.
The Shanghai correspondent of this
Daily Telegraph, wiring at o;os D. m.
yesterday, says:
'it In reported ON good Chinese au-
thority that the government, alarmed
by the foreign military preparations,
hiss issued an edict ordering the per-
emptory suppression Of the Boxers,
and announcing decision 90 protect
the legations at all hazards"
Russian prcstige has been iajured
during the recent aghting; and an
anti.Russian rising In the Liao Tong
peninsula. Russian Manchuria, is pre-
dicted.
