CHINESE NOT APPREHENSIVE.
cisco Doesn't Fear American
ReprisnIs on Chlneae.

San Francisco, July 16.-Ho Vow,
Chinese consul general, considers the
rumors which have come from Wash
ngton 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,
fail to recall single case in any
part of the district within the last
two months, that in any way indicates
hostility to my countrymen on ac-
count of the difficulties at home.
1--WE have every reason to feel salts
fed 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 I'M
derstanding 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. / do
not believe, however, that they will be
able TO control a very large following,
or that the better element of the COM
munity will lend moral support to
such a movement"

Hotter thnn santiago.

Tien Tsin, July IA, via Chez Foo,
July IS, and Shanghai, July 16.-At two
o'clock this afternoon 1000 of the al
lied troops were attempting to storm
the wall of the city. The attack be-
gan at daylight.
The Chinese on the walls are esti-
mated conservatively at 10000. They
are pouring a terrific hail of artillery,
rifle and machine gun fire upon the
attackers.
The Americans, japanese, British
and French troops are attacking from
the west, and the Russians from the
east.
The Americans suffered terribly. AS
the press representative left the field
the chief surgeon of the Ninth infan-
try said a conservative estimate was
that 25 per cent. of the Americans
were hit.
Col. Wilson H. Liscum is reported to
have been MORALLY wounded as he was
walking in front of the troops. MAJ.
Regain and Captains Buckmiller, Will
cox and Noyes are among the wound
ed.
The marines losses include Capt.
Davis killed, and Lieutenants Butler,
Leonard and several others wounded.
Officers declared that it was hotter
than Santiago.
When the correspondent left the
Americans were lying on the plain be-
tween the wall and the river, under an
enfilading and direct fire. 1t was
equally difficult for them to advance or
retire.
The correspondent counted 800
wounded men of all nationalities.

AS VIEWED IN BERLIN.
OIidarity of Interests VIII Assure
Perfect Harmony.


Berlin, July 1.-THE German con-
Eul at Che Foo, having communicated
to the governor of Shan lung En-
peror Williams offer of a reward of
1000 taels for the rescue of foreigners
III Pekin, has received the governors
reply, which is dated July I3, TO the
effect that the shutting up of foreign
ers in Pekin has deeply touched his
heart but that attempts to relieve them
have failed, owing to the revolt in
Chilli, but the governor adds, he will
again try his best to effect their re-
lease.
At the foreign Office here there is
nc question as TO the correctness of The
Chinese news of the massacre of for
eigners in Pekin. Officials take the
view that il is against the interest of
the Chinese to admit that there has
been a massacre, and that, therefore,
the Chinese official dispatches on the
subject are, for once, probably true.
Regarding Tien Tsin, the foreign Of
fees latest dispatches from Admiral
Btndemnnn declare that the situation
has improved rs reinforcements con-
tinne arriving.
The foreign Office, while deeply de-
ploring the horrible events at Pcliin,
expresses confidence that ''benceforth

The retirement of Sir William
White as head of the construction de-

tention to the fact that his pay has
been 5000 a year, while Rear Admit
raj Hichborn, who does the same work
in the American navy, is paid but &c.
900. The salary in this instance is a
good basis of comparison, and the
same proportion holds true in many
other branches of the service. The
salaries of the officers in the higher
ranks in England are greater than in

MINISTER WI CONCERNED.
News of the Fighting at Tien Tsin
Received by the Chinese Min
lister at Washington.
HE PROCESSES HIS PROFOUND REGRtT.
He Expressed Horror at the Latest
Developments, Declaring that 10
No American Home Could the
News Bring Deeper Regret than.
to Himself.

Washington, July 16.-News of the
battle of Tien Tsin, as brought by
press cables direct from the field, was
conveyed to the Chinese minister. The
minister followed the recital with rapt
attention, interrupting with EXPIRES
! sions of establishment and profound
regret at this startling development.
He was particularly impressed with
the detailed names of the American,
killed and wounded, which appeared
to remove every shadow of doubt, and
he asked as to the vorious officers and
their families.
WelI-FSnovn Scenes.
The scene of the fighting came home
wildly to the minister, as he has lived
for long time at lien Tsin, the close
friend and associate of Ii Hung Chang
during the latter's viceroyalty there,
and every detail of the engagement
around the walls could be followed
by him with a personal knowledge Of
the surroundings. In his minds eye,
lie pictured before him the scene of ac-
ton. Here, he pointed out, was the
great walled city, within which the ma
tive Chinese population lived.
What the Fight Meant.
Around the city swept the sinuons
Pei Ho river, from Taku toward Pc
kin. Below the walled city, full
hours ride by chair, lay the foreign
settlements, concessions or com
pounds. At this latter point. well
away from the walls of the main city.
the foreign citizens, with the allied
troops, have, until now, been located.
The news of the fight at the walls
meant, therefore, that the allied forces
had advanced from their position well
Down the Pei Ho, and had attacked the
city itself.
Viewed with Utmost Concern.
The outcome of this he viewed with
the utmost concern. He spoke with
good deal of freedom, but asked to be
excused from any public declaration.
on the subject. In the most sympa.
thetic terms, however, he expressed
his horror at the latest developments,
declaring that to no American home
could the news bring deeper regret
than to himself.
At the other legations and embas-
sizes, the same feeling of dismay pre-
vailed.
An OmcinI Suggestion.
One of the suggestions of the day,
made in an official quarter, is that a
commission be at once appointed &c
proceed to China and investigate the
facts of the present situation, thus
giving basis for intelligent action.
The situation Too Desperate.
At any any other time the sugges-
ton probably would be welcomed, as
a means of clearing up the doubt of
unreliable Shanghai reports, but now
the situation appears too desperate to
await the slow processes of a commits
sion. The name of eX-Minister DENLY
was mentioned in connection with the
talk of a commission.
