mately PRICE Tuan decided to make a
night attacl; with three powerful col
unins.
AT 6 o'clock in the evening of July
6th." says the correspondent, "fires was
opened with artillery upon the British
legation, where the foreigners were
concentrated. For two hours the walls
were battered with shells and shot and
huge breaches were- made in them.
Then a general adyaS hdered,
and the Chinese infanfoa 5lleying
constantly, moved towaruns ne gaps.
The fire of the defenders however. was
So accurate that hordes of Chinese SOL
diers and Boxers broke and fled in the
widest confusion, leaving large num-
bers of dead and wounded around the
legation. They could not be rallied un-
til they were out of rifle range of the
foreigners.
Then Prince Tuan, making a
desperate appeal induced them to
stand and return to the attack. Artil-
lery fire was then resumed, and at
the middle watch a second attack was
attempted. But before the attackers
! could accomplish their object they
were met by Prince Ching and Gen.
eral Wang Wen Shao with their troops
who were going to the aid of the for
eigners. A desperate battle ensued be
tween the various forces of Chines'
and Manchus.

General Wang Wen Shao, although
gray-haired and 20 years old, gallantly
led his troops in person. He was kill
ed, and his force, which was completely
outnumbered, was routed.
Throughout the night repeated at
tacks were made on the legations, but
these were repulsed with heavy losses.
Toward the end of the third watch.

the final sortie by the Legation troops
the attack by the Chinese was renewed
with doubled fury. The fighting was

many of them off. Some of the sailors
dropped to the ground and stood with
their backs to the wall, standing off the
Chinese.
In the midst of the melee Prince Tuan's
artillery opened their awful fire. By this
time the Boxers had not yet secured any
white prisoners, which so enraged them
that they attacked house opposite the
Legation, where native Christians had
taken refuge. These were dragged forth

Upon them the fire of the Chinese
artillery was now directed. Toward
sunrise it was evident that the ammu-

Chinese in force failed to draw a re-
sponse, rush was determined on.
THUS, standing together after the
sun rose, the remaining band, all Euro

FIGURING MILLS IN TAOS COUNTY,
A Good Opening For Power Roller Mill
in That Section.

Dr. T. p. Martin, writing to the New
Mexican in reference to the flouri lg
mills of Taos county, says that there is
one water-power mill, and small one
at that, in the Penasco district an,
there are four other mills in the centra!
part of the valley. These are all burr
mills, run by water power besides
these there are many small mills owned
by natives. There is not steam or rol-
Ter mill in the county, the great bulk
of the wheat is hauled to the roller mill
at Conejos, Colo, and there ground ami
hauled back. A conservative estimate
of the wheat grown in Taos county is
250O00 bushels. No county in the terri
tory offers superior advantages for the
establishment of a roller Touring mil
to be run by steam or otherwise. There
is enough demand and consumption 10
keep such a mill going all the yea"
round. By the investment of a small
capital a large and lucrative business
could be established

Washington, December 1S--Argu-
ments in the Porto Rico-Philipplna
cases involving the status of those
countries to the United States, was re-
sumed in the supreme court to-day,
There was a large attendance of prom
inent members of the bar and a crowd
of spectators overflowed in the corri-
dor. Counsel arranged general plan
of procedure, by which Edward c. Per
kins, senior counsel in the Porto Rico
case, would conclude his argument to-
day. being followed by Lawrence Fl lr-
mon, counsel in the Philippines case.
Appellants would then give way to At
torney General Griggs for his presenta-
ton of the case in behalf of the govern
ment, Charles Fl. Aldrich, former So
licitor general, senior counsel in the
Philippines case, will close i'll behalf o.
the appellants.
Attorney General Griggs contendeG
that the United States has power to ac-
quire territory; that, having acquired
it, it has a right to govern it; that od-
ministrative construction, congression-
al action and judicial precedent affirm
that every port in a ceded country Is
property regarded as foreign until laws
are extended by congress to the new
possessions; that the clause Of the con"
stitution of the United States declar!tls
duties to be uniform throughout the
United States is not applicable to the
new possessions, and that the con st-
tuition does not extend of it's own for7e
over acquired territory. Referring to
the legal aspect of the case, he assert
ed that the Dingley act applied to mAr-
chandise imported from Porto Rico ard
the Philippines after their cession TO
the United States the same as ii did ha-
fore, and that in view of the fact that
the tariff laws are in rem there is llt
principle of justice, much less of con-
stitutional restriction. which forbils
congress taxing in this way merchln
disc of outlying possessions of the Unit
ed States when brought into ports of

declared that there was no doubt that
it was the intention of the Paris treaty
not to make the ceded isla ands Il part OF
