THE FIGHTING AROUND TIEN-TsIN.
SOME HOT WORK CUT OUT FOR WALLER
AND HIS BATTALION.


Taku, June 27.-Admiral Kempff opposed the
policy OF attacking the Chinese Army unless
they began hostilities. 1t is now admitted that
the Powers attacking the forts turned the chi
nese into allies with the Boxers Americans
think this might have been avoided. Admiral
Kempff has held aloof from hostities beyond
movements necessary to rescue Americans.
The forces ashore now number 10000 of
which 1920 are British, 1900 German, 1000
Russian. 5000 Japanese and the remainder
American, French. Italian and Austrian.
Yesterday the English torpedo boat Fame
visited the fort at New-City twelve miles
up the river 1t was found deserted and was
blown up.
Lieutenant Jayne, of the Newark. trying to
reach Tien-Tsin by boat at the time of the
storming Of Tien-Tsin, had a fierce fight with
the Chinese.
Major Walters battalion of 130 marines. with
Commander Craddock's British naval brigade,
numbering 500 camped June % eight
miles from Tien-Tsin, where the railroad had
been destroyed At daylight on the morning Of
the 23d Major Waller and two companies of
British marched on Tten-Tsin. The remainder
Of the British and three hundred Welsh Fusi-
liers supporting went up the river bank. An
other column consisting chiefly OF Russians and
Germans, took up the route chosen by Waller.
They were repulsed, however.
On June 81 the Russians became engaged in
conflict with the Chinese. First Major Waller
reinforced them and then reJoined the British,
the Military College being attacked. The Chi
nese exploded a mine under the marines, merely
bruising a few of the While crossing to

killed and three wounded.
The English and American forces carried the
village outside of the walled city by storm.
They found In Tien-Tsin Lieutenant Irwin and
Cadet Pettingill. with forty men, in good con-
dition
Among the killed also was Private Nicholas,
and still another American was wounded.
When the Chinese attacked T1en-Tsin on June
Il Major Wallers command, with 440 Russians,
was .ambushed three miles from that place.
They were compelled to retreat abandoning a
3-inch rife and a Colts gun and losing four
killed and seven wounded.
The greatest anxiety exists concerning the po-
sition of the foreigners at Picking. Admiral
hempr believes that large reinforcements are
necessary in order to reach Peking. He is anx-
lous to avoid all action likely to involve Amert-
cans in future diplomatic discussion.
When the forts were attacked the British gun
boat Algerine surprised and boarded four Chi
nese torpedo boats under the shadow of the
forts. They offered to Admiral Kempfr
who declined to receive il. However the Rms
