ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
THE SITUATION AT TEN TSlN
A GOVERNMENT pro TEN HAS BEEN
ORGANIZED.
suburbs of the City Were Destroyed
by Fire and Nearly Every Build
ing Inside Was Damaged.

Tien Tsin. July is, via Shanghai, July
24-Colonel Bower of the Chinese regi-
ment, Colonel wollack OF the Russians,
Colonel Aoki of the Japanese will form the
Joint provisional government for the city
q, Tien Tsin which it was recently decided
10 establish. They will be entrusted with
the task OF bringing something like order
out of the existing chlose. Since the is
susnce of the proclamation inviting we'll
disposed Chinese to return TO their homes,
). number have come back to the city and
many native servants are coming 10 the
settlements, a majority of them return
ing 10 the service OF their previous en-
pIoyers.
Inc native city this afternoon presents
an appalling spectacle OF rum ana deso.a-
ION. Inc suburbs were completely de-
sLoyed by hre, mostly caused by the
shells OF the allies Oh the side facing me
settlements. 1t is believed that not a
dozen houses are Intact and ali were d
little damaged by the tremendous fire of
the allies artillery, which, however, was
apparently not heavy enough to produce
much effect. curious spectacle is pre-
sented by number OF mud novels i'm
mediately underneath the wall, where the
latter was most damaged, hardly one or
them showing signs OF having been hit.
Inside the city the damage was terrific
The buildings nearest the wall were most
ly Quilted by fire and many were totally
blown 10 pieces by the shells of the al
lies. Among the smoulderng ruins are
many charred corpses, which the pigs and
dogs are eating.
The allies are busy removing the bodies
but In consequence of the great number
Of dead, many have not yet been buried.
The streets throughout the city are strewn
with all kinds of articles.
The houses which do not display flags
show bits Of cotton or paper bearing the
names Of the allied nations and commit
mentary sentences.
The French apparently are the favorites.
many Of the pieces Of cotton and paper
displayed bearing the inscription France"
or "Vive Ia France" All are unmistak-
ably in the handwriting of native clerks
formerly employed by foreign Chinese
firms
1t is stated that the Chinese losses
since the trouble broke out are II nm
most OF whom have been killed bv Roy
ers and soldiers. This is probably much
exaggerated
The Boxers are said to be gathering
l9rge numbers In the neighborhood of
me Hsikon arsenal captured bv Admiral
oeymours column and now occupied nv
russian troops who have suffered several
casualties through "slipners' concealed In
the woods In that vicinity.

DIsTILLING SHIP FOR CHINA.
She Is to Take Out n Large Amount
of Ordnance.

New York, July 24.-The distilling ship
Arethusa will reach the Brooklyn navy
yard from Philadelphia tomorrow and will
take on cargo Of general stores, field
guns aud other ordnance. While no great
amount OF stores will be sent from the
yard, it is thought that the shipments
from other yards will make the cargo one
of the largest ever shipped from the navy
yards. These shipments nominally will
be made to the Philippines, though 1t is
considered almost certain that a large
part of them will be sent to China, where
the field guns are particularly needed,
AS the Arethusa will undoubtedly form
part of Admiral Remey's Chinese feet the
fact that she is distilling ship will make
her valuable addition to the Asiatc
squadron, fresh water in China being d
scarcity.

Shot from Ambush.

Tuesday night of last week Messrs. A.
B. Amaker and James Porter were fired
upon, by parties unknown, at the home
of the latter. They returned the fire, but
do not know with what effect.
The trouble occurred in Elizabeth town
ship, not far from the scene of the recent
tragedy in which James A. Jeffcoat was
shot to death, and near the place where
the home of B. Lee Jeffcoat was riddled
with bullets one night last year.
1t appears from the facts as related by
Mr.. Amaker that some unknown party or
parties went to his house Tuesday night
and fired into it, shattering the window
panes and riddling the building. 1t is
further said they afterwards went under
meath the house and fired upward through
the floor, barely missing the bed on which
Mr.. Amaker's wife lay in terror, afraid to
rise lest she receive flying shot. The
fusilade ended and the parties left with
out further damage having been done
Mr.. Amaker says he was over at MIR. Por-
ter's house, and that they were standing
out in the yard talking when they were
fired upon. Mr.. Amaker was wounded in
the arm with number 9 shot, and Mr
Porter was peppered in the face with 9
mixed load. They returned the fire, and
their assailants, after firing other shots
retreated. Mr.. Porter received a pistol
ball in his right hand, which was extract
ed by physicians here Wednesday. :,
It's fortunate that no one was killed
There may yet be more bloodshed IN
that part of the county, as bad blood ex.
lists between several parties who 60 armed
all the time, and all of them are plucky
and fearless. 1t is to be hoped, however
that peace may prevail against violence
