LONDON, July 1.-THE allies at Tien-
tsin, after the rious rout of July 13.
have rallied their forces, ard inflicted
signal defeat upon the hordes Of Chinese
who drove them back with such heavy
losses.
The victory of thu international troops
is described in a despatch from Shanghai
received by the Daily Mail" and Il.
under today's date.
On the morning of July Il. after the
allies had recovc.ed fIom the effects Of
their repulse on the preceding day, they
resumed the attack on the native city.
where 20 900 Chinese wUre quartered AID
ready for battle.
The lighting was fast AID furious. The
allies used artillery with splendid effect.
and after time succeeded in making a
great breach in the wall OF the native
city. This frightened the Chinese, ard
the foreigners then rushed in and cap
tured all the forts from which they had re-
celved such a CALLING fire on the previous
day.
The slaughter Of the Celesti Ils Was ter
rife, and the Chinese were routed like
rats. The allies succeeded in soon taking
possession of the whole OF the native city
and its defences. the Boxers retIeating to
another position.
Allies Heavy Losses.
During the fighting Of Thursday, Friday.
and Saturday the international for .pes suf-
fered very heavy losses, those Of Friday
being especially severe. It is estimated
that during the battles Of the three days
about SEQ foreign troops were killed and
wounded. The Russian and Japanese de-
tachmeEts suffered the most.
The Shanghai despatch does not state Ihe
losses Of the Chinese. but it is believed
that thousands Of them were killed and
wounded, as they fairly swarmed upon the
walls Of the native city in the face OF
the heaviest artillery fire possible with the
guns in the possession Of the allies.
The news of the victory over the Chinese
in Tientsin has been received here with
great satisfaction. 1t at least turns the
destructive tide Of warfare temporarily
and renews the hope that the foreign
troops Will be able to save themselves and
the non -combatants in Tientsin Some
fears are expressed. however, that the
Boxer army, which has been reported to
be moving on Tientsin from the north may
try to invade the city before needed re-
endorsements can be pushed forward by
the allies from Taku.
Chinese Guns Captured.
A despatch from Tientsin OF today's date
says that during the desper2:e fighting of
July 13. in which the allies were repuIsed,
over forty guns bombarded the Chinese po-
sition. Eight Chinese guns were captured

According to a despatch from Paris. the
French Consul at Tientsin cables Foreign

ser rifles and having modern artillery. are
