SHOT 70 SAVE TORTURE
ADMIRAL SEYMOUR FORCED TO
EXTREMITY.
When No Longer Able to Carry His
Wounded They Were Shot to Save
Them From Torture.

NEW YORK, July 15.-The Journals
Tientsin cable of July S, via Shanghai, !
July 49, says I'VE are fighting hordes
of Chinese day and night but are una
BILE to beat them off. 1t is unfortunately
true that the allied forces have suffered
repeated defeats. The Gordon of Chi
nese around us is growing closer Chi
nese guns are raining deadly cross fire
on us from their intrenched position,
commanding the town. We are desper-
ately in need of heavy artillery and
more men. No quarter is given or asked
on either side.
Intellectual attempts have been made
to conceal the horrible fact that Ad-
miral Seymour was compelled TO shoot
his own wounded during the recent dis
astrous retreat of the Peking relief eX-
pediton. All the wounded and prison
ers who fell into the hands of the Chi
nese were frightfully tortured. The
bodies of two marines, captured by the
Chinese, were recovered ana We're
found to have been cut into pieces.
First, the eyes had been hacked out,
then the cheeks, arms and legs cut OF,
until death ended the sufferings of the
poor fellows.
when Admiral Seymour IN his re-
| treat found himself so hard pressed
| that he was unable longer to carey his
wounded with him, he asked them
! Which do you prefer, to be left
| to the mercies of the Chine SO, or be
shot by your own comrades? AS I'D.
miral Seymour put the question tears
We're running down his cheeks. We
prefer death to torture. Shot us now,
that we may die like men, was me
prompt response of the helpless. y fir
ing squad was told off, and while the
little allied force stopped and beat on
with gun fire the Chinese horde that
surrounded it. inside it's lines an act of
mercy was performed as the firing
squad carried out it's orders. A few vol
leys from rifles i'm the hands of friends
and the harassed expedition was re-
lieved of it's burden of wounded The
fanatical Chinese horde was cheated OF
it's victims for it's torture and the sur
ferings and fears of the unfortunates
} We're brought to an end in an honorable
death under their own flag. The fury
of Europeans against the Chinese on
account of the latter's mutilation of th'
. dead. and torture of the living knows NJ
bounds"

AMERICA 5 FIRM STAND
JOINS WITH GREAT BRITAIN AND
GERMANY.
Military Operations and Indemnity
Claims Must be Kept Separate From
Claims for Territory.

CHICAGO, July 1S.-The Tribune's
Washington correspondent says The
United States has informally notified
the other powers that this country must
hereafter be reckoned with in all steps
taken either for the pacification or par
tition in China. In furtherance of this
policy it is believed the United States,
Germany and Great Britain have taken
a determined stand and have, in effect,
though quite informally, said to the 9TH
er powers that the action taken to pun
ish the Chinese for the massacre at Pc
king and all operations of the allied
army must be entirely Independent of
questions of territory. The three ma
tions mentioned are understood to have
declared their intention of insisting that
the movement of the troops by no ma
tion shall constitute claim upon ter
ritory by the mere fact of occupation.
So far as can be learned the United
States, Germany and Great Britain not
only declare, but are prepared to insist
that all claims for indemnity, both
financial and territorial, must be held
in abeyance until the joint military op-
erations are concluded. This under
standing on the part of three great mill
itary powers has been quite sufficient
to quiet the situation, and Japan has
already landed it's army corps on the
distinct understanding that it will be
tully PAID Tor lIS extra eHerllOH, puC
that neither Japan nor Russia, nor any
other nation will be permitted to prof
it by the situation which has been ere
ated by a horrible attack upon the dip
lomatic ENJOYS of all nations. The un-
derstanding referred to, while only a
| tacit one thus far, is believed to be quite
strong enough to dominate the situa-
tion. 1t is said President Mckinley s
| trip to Washington was largely, If not
entirely, caused by the necessity of
| talking over with him negotiations
which could not well be committed to
paper
Most of the diplomats now here called
! at the State Department today, includ-
| ing the German, French and Chinese
| representatives, and it is believed they
were fully informed of the general un-
| derstanding by the powers to get to
Peking as soon as possible, make Chi
ma habitable by foreigners and then
settle the future government of thai
country by a peaceable congress of al
| the civilized nations, large and small.

CHINA NEWS IN HONOLULU
PEKING MURDERS STREET TOPIC
TODAY.
Awful Details From the Orient Dis
cussed by All Nationalities-Hon
May Offer Men for War.

The one street topic today has been
the awful news from China. 1t has
been discussed in all groups of busy
men, on the Stock Exchange, in the
Government offices and to the ends of
the city The faces and opinions of
Chinese have formed a peculiar study.
While not taking the same degree of
interest in it as in the massacre of
their own kindred a few weeks ago the
reformers unanimously deplore the fate
of the Peking legations. AT the same
time there appears to be among them
a feeling of hope that the catastrophe of
July in Peking opens the vista to their
fondest ambition, that of reform in
China and the institution there of
modern government.
The Empress Dowaoer is endeavoring
to make it appear that Prince Tuan,
who now seems to be in control, and
whose troops caused the death of all
the foreigners in Peking is opposed to
her troops and her government. The
reformers deny that such Is the case,
and charge that the Empress and the
Boxers are in league. At the same time
Minister WI, at Washington, believes
! that the ascendenCy of Tuan will mean
! the end of the Empress government.
| He states in the Examiner of July Il
| that he believes Tuan is in control of
the government. If this be so he will
! likely leave Washington. This will
mean that Yang Wei Pin. the local Chi
nese consul, will shake the dust of Ha-
wall from his feet as soon as possible.
| The general opinion about town is
! that the United States should send
more than 20 900 men to China at once.
| With those already on the way and now
! there the total American force would
be something like $4,000. Mainland pa
| pers are calling loudly for a special
session of Congress and a declaration
of war Offers of troops are pouring in
! from every state. \ half million Volun-
teers for the service could be procured
| without trouble.
Following the offer of Honolulu Ger
mans of 250 men for service in China,
Americans are discussing the matter Of
making an offer to the Washington
government and it is believed that the
English will follow suit. A prominent
enthusiast on the subject of an Ameri-
can contingent said this morning that
an offer of 200 good men would prob
ably be forwarded by the Peking.
If war is declared it will ensure the
election of Mckinley and Roosevelt as
the conservative people of the country
will cross party lines to prevent a
change of administration in the middle
IF the trouble.

T|EN-7S|N Is TAKEN NOW
ALLIES DRIVE CHINESE FROM
THE CITY.
Americans Lose Heavily in the Attacks
japanese and Russian Forces Also
Suffer-Former Defeat Retrieved.

LONDON, July 1S.-Dispatches re-
ceived during the last twenty-four
hours have dispelled all doubts respect
ing the ability of the allies to hold their
ground at Tientsin. The Chinese were
routed on Saturday and the European
forces, with the American and Japanese
contingents, occupied the native city
and its defenses.
LONDON, July 1.-THE Daily Mail
today gives the Associated Press the
following dispatch from it's Shanghai
correspondent, under date of July H.
telling of the final rout of the enemy;
The allied troops resumed the attack
upon the Chinese walled city of Tientsin
on the morning of July IA, and sue
ceeded in preaching the walls and cap
tured all the forts. The Chinese We're
completely routed, and the allies took
possession of the native city and its
defenses. The total losses of the allies
in the engagement of Thursday, Friday
and Saturday We're about 500 killed and
wounded. The casualties were the
greatest among the Russians and Jap
anese. The Americans lost nearly a
| third of the total number.

TROOPS AND TRANSPORTS
AMERICA QUICKLY MODELLING
TROOPS.
Gen. Miles Favors Sending Men From
the Philippines to China Instantly
All Available Steamers Chartered.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-General
Miles had a conference this afternoon
with the Secretary of War concerning
the dispatch of e-enforcements to Chi
ma. No statement could be secured, but
lit is understood that Miles strongly
urged that the troops be Withdrawn inn
/ mediately from the Philippines so that
a large army could be thrown into
China within a comparatively few days,
instead of awaiting the slow processes
of assembling an army in this country
and Cuba and getting 1t to China. The
troops in the Philippines could make
the trip across to China in about
week, while the dispatch of troops from
this country will take more than a
month, and the men can hardly be in
the field until September.
| Notwithstanding General Miles rec
ommendation, the apparent policy is to
forward troops to China from this coun-
| try and Cuba as fast as they can be
| assembled.
! SAN FANCISCO, July 17.-Most of
the American vessels of large size now
calling at Honolulu will be chartered
! by the Government to take troops to
China. 1t is purposed to land $4,000 men
| direct from the Mainland on Chinese
soil within the next sixty days. Nego-
! tiations for transports are now going
on with the big companies on the cost.
| The Pacific Mail has offered the Chi
City of Sydney, LOO men; Newport,
500 men; City of Para, $50 men. The
Northern Pacific has offered the Gleno-
gle, 900 Tacoma, 800; Victoria, $50;
Olympia, 800. The Columbia has been
purchased by the Government, and will
take 800 men.
It is understood to be the intention of
the War Department to handle the
troops and freight equally through
Puget Sound boats and San Francisco.
The expectation is that all will call at
| Honolulu.
MANILA, July 1.-two battalions of
the Fourteenth Infantry and Duggatts s
battery of the Fifth Artillery have left
for China by the transports Indiana,
Flintshire and Wyefeld. The expedition
which will join the Ninth Infantry, car
ries 500 rounds of ammunition to a man
and a reserve of 100000 rounds, to-
gether with medical, subsistence, stores
and clothing for 5000 men for three
months. They also take two seven-inch
mortars and two siX-inch howitzers,
with ammunition. The hospital ship Re
lief is going to China.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-THE

OFFICE SUPPLIES ARRIVE
POSTOFFICES WILL NOW BE
WELL EQUIPPED.
Big Lot of Stamped Envelopes For All
Islands, and Material for Presidential
Ofces-Mr. Flint.

Postoffice Inspector NJ. II. Flint this
morning received nearly carload OF
supplies from the department in Wash
ington for the offices in the Islands.
They will be landed as soon as possible
and will be distributed as required.
One thing in the lot is an immense
supply of stamped envelopes of all de-
nominations. United States law pre-
scribes that letters mailed on steamers
must be in stamped envelopes. Here
tofore only a small quantity of two-cent
envelopes were available, so that many
people were frequently Inconvenience.
In future it will be different as all Of
1ices will have constantly full supply
on hand at all times.
1t is not generally known that presi-
Dental offices, such as Honolulu, Hilo
and Kohala, are supplied with every
thing they require. In the lot of stun
arriving this morning is everything
down to ink stands and pens.
Another thing in the lot is the blanks
for the four last postoffices to be given
the postofIice money order system. They
will be sent out as soon as possible.
Mr.. Flint states that he is gradually
getting everything Strengthened out
and hopes that very soon the postotfict
system throughout the Islands VIII bt
in perfect running order. There were
so many changes to be made, to make
the system conform to that of the Main
land, that an immense amount of very
hard work had to be done.
