A FATAL AMBUSCADE
Admiral Kempf Reports the Killing

Admiral Remey Ordered to Go On

The Navy Department issued the follow
ing bulletin yesterday afternoon:
"A cablegram from Admiral kempn,
dated Chefoo. June "a. says:

First American Blood Shed.
Admiral Kempf's dispatch, giving the
first definite news of the shedding of
American blood on Chinese soil. came early
yesterday morning. and was turned over
to Secretary Long as soon as he arrived at
the department. The Secretary carried the
dispatch to the President, and ii was there

Secretary Long to be quite adequate. as 1t

starts today, as expected, It will take her
fully a week to reach Taku, as the trip Is
2OrO miles and typhoons are raging. The
proposition TO carry some OF General Mac
Arthur's troops on flagship shows the
emergency of the situation. The troops
are believed to be ready TO move. but some
delay may be caused in getting on board
sufficient supplies for large body of men
for a week.
Admiral Kempff's report that four Amer
leans were killed and seven wounded in the
ambuscade OF Walters force caused the
gravest concern among officials, but the
chief fear to the outcome of the sec
ond attack, which the admiral reported
was about to begin. This Is little short of
the dimensions of battle. and its results
may be decisive. not only to the immediate
force employed. but in determining the fate
Of the legations and foreign settlements at

wi way from Boston to her home in
Philadelphia. Some people whom
she knew had come with her as
far as New York and had then gone on
to the west, leaving Flora for the day
in the care of her brother, uallctt Ford,
the artist and illustrator.
1t was arranged that Flora should
take the o'clock train, but early in
the afternoon she went with her broth
er to the office of George Bingham, ed
itor of the Grayescnd Literary syndi-
cate. Bingham insisted that they must
dine at his housc-NIrs. Bingham was
so very anxious to hear Miss Ford sing
and also to meet Ford again. She had
had that pleasure only once and had
always ycarncd for a repetition of it.
Ford explained that there were diff
cultics in the way of accepting this
kind invitation, but meanwhile Bing-
ham was calling up his wife by means

certainly you remember him. My dear,
you must. I'm going to bring him and
Miss Ford-F-o-rd-his sstcr-thc one
that sings-sings"-
1t was somewhat embarrassing for
Ford and his sister, but little things Of
that sort never touch Bingham. He
has been an editor for II years, and he
is hardened. lie succeeded in convinc-
ing Mrs. Bingham that she knew Ford
and had heard of his sister and would
be delighted to entertain them at din
ner.
Meanwhile Ford, who is the sort of
fellow that will blush if you look at
him, was trying to tell Bingham that
Flora must 90 back to Philadelphia
because she hadn't any place to stay in
New York. He himself was living in
his studio, and they had no relatives in
the city.
1t is one of Bingham's pcculiarities
that he goes stone deaf ut critical mo-
ments; not physically, but mentally
deaf. lie is likely to stop listening il
the middle of one of your most i'm
pressive sentences, but his face never
shows sign of it. He seems to be IA
yoring you with his most profound at
tention, and he makes gestures of COR
dial agreement with your views. When
he is in one of these frances, if you
should say to him, bingham, shall

in courteous acquiesccnce.
