WOUNDED OF THE ALLIES
SHOT BY THEIR COMRADES.
Merciful Death in Preference to Torture by
Hordes Of Chinese Fanatics.

Shoot us now, that we may die
like men, was the piteOus re-
Spouse of the helpless men.
A firing squad was told off,
and while the little allied forces
stopped and beat of with gum
fire the Chinese horde that sur
rounded it, inside it's lines an
act of mercy was performed as
the firing squad carried out its
orders.
A few mercifuI vOIIeys from
the rifles in the hands of friends
and the harassed expedition
was relieved of ats burden of
yvounded; the fanaticaI Chinese
horde was cheated of victims
for it's torture, and the suffer-
inas and fears of the unfOr-
Inmates were brought to an end
in an honorable death under
their own flag.
The British and American
forces are brigaded together on
the west side of the town; the
Germans and Japanese on the
south side; the French and RUS
SLAMS on the north, and "A force
of CossacEs hold the east side.
Scouts report that imperial
Chinese troops have arrived
from Pekin, well equipped and
with many guns. Troops of
native cavalry and hordes of
Boxers are coming from the
east and south.

NEW YORK, July 16.-A dis
patch to the Journal and Adver-
tiser from Tien Tsin, July s,
says:
Intellectual attempts have
been made to conceal the bOr-
rible fact that Admiral Seymour
was compelled to shoot his own
wounded during the recent dis
nstrOus retreat of the Pekin re-
lief expedition. All the wound
ed and prisoners who fell into
the hands of the Chinese We're
frightfuEly tortured.
The bodies OF two marines
who were captured by the Chi
nese, were recovered.
The bodies had been cut into
pieces. First the eyes had been
hacked out; then the cheeks,
arms and legs cat off, until
death ended the sufferings of
the poor fellows.
when Admiral Seymour, in
his retreat, found himself so
hard pressed that he was unable
longer to carry his wounded
with him, he asked them:
(Which do You prefer, to be
left to the mercies of the Chi
nese. or be shot by your own
comrades
AS Admiral Seymour put the
question the tears were run
"a.

sA., FRANCISCO, July 16.-Ho
Vow, Chinese Consul General, consid-
ers the rumors which have come from
the east of a threatened uprising in
this city against the Chinese residents
as utterly groundless.
Never since the administration of
my consulate" he said, have there
been fewer cases of violence against
the Chinese. In fact, l fail to recall
a single case in any part of the district
within the last two months, that in
any was there any indications of hos
Utility to my countrymen, on account
of the difficulties at home.
I'VE have every reason to feel sat
isfied with the treatment we have re-
ceived, and | can see~in the wise course
the United States is pursuing in the
present crisis, far better understand
ing between the two nations than has
heretofore existed.
There may be an attempt on the
part of the Sand Lot agitators to pre-
cipitate an attack on Chinatown. l 20
not believe, however, that they will
be able to control a very large follow
ing or that the better element of the
community will lend moral support to
such movement"

LONDON, July 16.-sRevenge to-
day., mourning tomorrow is practic-
ally the universal cry of Europe, but it
is sorrowfully admitted that there can
be no revenge to-day, nor perhaps for
many to-morrows. for the incredible
barbarities that are reported to have
marked the last scenes within the lega-
tons at Pekin.
Nothing is clearer than that the an
ti-foregn conflagration in China is
rapidly permeating even hitherto que-
scent provinces; and though it is rec
ognized that every day which leaves
Pekin in the power of the mob increas-
es the perils and difficulties OF the sit
uation, nothing comes from the diplo-
mats of Europe to show that the pow
ers have overcome the jealousies re-
sulting in general impotency, to which
is commonly ascribed the sacrifice of
the handful of women children and
men comprising the international col
ony in Pekin.
Nothing has been received to-day
that adds to the information previous
ly obtained regarding the massacre.
The only ray of light extricable from
the Pekin message appears to be the
statement that Ching and his follow
ers did their utmost in defense OF the
legations. The rebels. however. are
evidently
Greatly in the Majority,
and the few loyalists are helpless be-
fore the hordes who have joined and
are daily joining the blood-stained
Camarilla who have usurped authority
at Pekin.
The fate of the capital appears to
threaten other towns like Tien Tsin,
Che Foo and even Shanghai The de-
feat of the allied forces at TIen Tsin
seems to place that town in desperate
straits and if retreat to Taku is neces-
STATED observers conider that it will be
likely to decide the policy of wavering
viceroys
The departure of Admiral Seymour
from Tien Tsin and the movement of
warships toward Shan Hal Kuan, on
the gulf of Liaotung, are taken to In
dictate that this route may be adopted
for an advance on Pekin which is dis
tant 10 miles from Shan-Hai-Kua
The members of the Chinese lega-
ton this morning still assert that they
have no information concerning the
fate of the foreigners in Pekin.
The war office to-day issue dis
patch from Gen. Dorward, dated Tien
Tsin, July II,
Which Adds Little
to previous INFORMATION. The Chinese,
according to this dispatch, attacked the
station the morning Of July 18th and
were repulsed after four hours of hard
fighting in which 500 of the enemy
were killed. On July 9Th, Gen. Dor
ward, commanding force of 100 Amer
leans, $50 British and 400 Russians, and
Gen. Fukushima, commanding 1000
Japanese, attacked the Chinese and
captured their positions southwest of
the city, killing $50 and capturing four
guns. American and Japanese troops
subsequently rushed and took the west
ern arsenal Gen. Dorward adds that
the days honors rested with the Amer
leans and Japanese. There were no
casualties among the Americans or the
Russians

Several Gangs in the Philippines

Correspondence Associated Press
MANILA, June 10.-The large cir
culation of silver money in the Philip
pines has made an opportunity for
counerfeiters, and there is evidence OF
one or more gangs in Mauila and
the provinces who manufacture supr
ious coins. The counterfeiters make
Mexican dollars from a baser and
cheaper metal, the American nickle is
counterfeited and the brown five dol
lar bills have been successfully imi-
tated. But the cleverest and most
successful scheme of all is the coin
ing of American silver dollars. The
