FROM TIEN-TsIN.
Operations In No Way Decisive. But
Chinese still Full of Fight.

London, July 1O.-The latest .news
from Tien-Tsin is contained in a news
agency message, dated Friday, July 6,
reporting a renewed Chinese attack
that morning with 12 guns. The allied
forces replied with the guns landed
frcm the British first class cruiser
Terrible, and a mixed force of 1000
raep made a sortie under cover of the
fire Of the naval brigade, and attacked
the Chinese, who retired, after seven
hours fighting.
Earlier dispatches record severe
fighting, notably on July 2 and July 3,
when the Chinese developed unexpect-
ed strength, and did considerable dam
ege to artillery. At the bridge near
the French settlement, there was hard
fighting at close quarters, the Rus
slams, with a Gatling gun, finally COM
polling the Chinese to retire, though
they suffered heavily. The operations,
however, were in no way decisive, later
messages showing the Chinese were
stjII full of fight.
About 500 men were wounded in the
fighting at Tien-Tsin.

A SLIGHT RAY Of HOPE.
A Shanghai Dispatch by Way OF

Still Another Dispatch From shang-

Chinese Fiends Closed in Upon
the Legations and All
Who Remained Alive"

dispatches from China are very con
hicting. There is no doubt that there
has been a great loss of life at the
Chinese capital, but nothing definite
has been received as to the fate of the
ministers of the various powers. A ray
of hope is held out by a dispatch that
the legations were standing July
3. The powers are about to agree
to allow Japan a free hand, and te
guarantee that nation ON indemnity ii
it succeeds in pacifying the country.
This action, it is said, was first sug-
gested by the United States. England.

reasons for believing, will agree.l

THAT HOPEFUL FEELING.
IL is Further strengthened by Ru-
mors of Counter Revolution.


II is Further strengthened by Ru-
mors of Revolution.
London, July 10.-The more hopeful
feelingengendered by Saturday'snews
from Pekin was further strengthened
to-day by Rear-Admirai Bruce's in
dorsement of the rumors hat Prince
Ching, who is said to be heading a
counter revolution against the usurp-
er, Prince Tuan. If the admirals hope
that Prince Ching, with his army, is
defending the legations at Pekin,
against Prince Tuan, turns out to be
well founded, this turn of events is of
the utmost Importance, as it is felt
here that in some such division among
the Chinese themselves lies the besI
hope for the safety of the foreigners.
If the powers can find allies in China
itself, it will materially facilitate tie
task of restoring order, and those
acquainted with the country believe
that if the diplomats are able TO IT.
duce such a man as Ii Hung Chang or
Chang Chi Tung to send forces I, the
assistance of Prince Ching, the hordcs
of reyolutionists will disperse as quick
Is as they have collected, and a way
to Pekin will be opened w1thou- great
delay. With all due allowance for n
uncertainty in regard to the reliability,
the authorities here feel that the latest
messages from the Far East give dis
tinct hope. If, as suggested, the native
sympatbizers are able to keep the be-
sieged legations reasonably supplied
with provisions, the foreign colony may
yet escape destruction.
