TENNIS TOURNAMENT
The Sport at Brookline Was of High
 Order

Brookline, Mass, July 23.-Tne quality of tennis played at the tenth annual tourna- ment for the Longwood cup today was high. Wrenn and Ward and Larned and Allen played five set matches full of sharp rallies. Ward played the more brilliantly in his match, smashing and loving beauti- fully. The style of game, however, could not win against Wrenns steadiness.
 The great surprise was, the defeat of Sumner Hardy by H. 1. Foster. Hardy is a Californian, who was considered equal to the best players in the East. Today, how ever, Foster clearly outplayed him, scoring many more placed shots Foster repeated the surprise by winning from Paret in straight sets.

SEYMOUR DID NOT
 KILL HIS WOUNDED
The Sensational Report is Au-
 thoritativ9ly Denied.
CARRIED THE MEN WITH HIM
His Report Mentions the Inconvenience Ills Men Encountered in Retreat ing Under Fire and Carrying
 Wounded With Them

San Francisco, July 23.-There is nothing in the extensive report of Admiral Seymour which was received here today by the American steamer Maru to prove the sen- satlonal story circulated early this month that Admiral Seymour had commanded the Pekin relief expedition and killed his wounded to save them from the Chinese.
 Commander s. ". Very, U. S. N, who returned from the Orient on the same steamer, and others who were at Hong Kong when Admiral Seymour returned from Tien Tsin, did not hear the full text of the Admiral's report, which is an elabor- ation of the cablegram published on June 3O and which makes not the slightest men ton of the affair, but on the contrary goes into particulars of the bravery of the allies in guarding the wounded who were placed in flat boats and lowed down the river by details of soldiers and marines, while the main body of the troops fought the Chinese off with rifles and Maxims.
 In the fight at Lang Fang, where the Boxers attacked the force with great yigor, twice the Italian contingent bore the brunt of the fighting the right flank, and lost five men killed and a number wounded. The Chinese retreated, leaving a large number of dead on the field. In the afternoon a detail of marines, who were stationed to guard the railroad house at Tang Fang, were attacked, and reinforce ments had to be rushed forward to save them

Lost 100 Killed

It was in this engagement that the enemy lost about one hundred killed, which was mentioned in the telegraph report, and two British biuejackets were wounded. An ad- vance was then made to Tien Tsing, where a halt had to be made, as the tracks for miles had been torn up. The Chinese ad- vanced in great numbers, and a desperate battle was fought. The column fell back to Yong Song, that the rest of the trip might be made by steam. Seymour then said:
 Prior to our departure from Lang Fang ordered two trains to stop there in order to enable part of our men to proceed later but these trains were attacked after my departure by the Boxers and the Chinese troops who had come from Pekin and fight ing ensued, in the course of which 400 to BOG were killed on the enemy's side, and six of our men were killed and. forty-eight wounded.
 "At Yong Song I was joined by the men, who came down there in three trains. All the trains were completely destroyed, and not a single one could be used for further work Moreover, the work of provisioning together with the presence of numerous wounded soldiers, compelled us to retreat to Tien Tsin. Communication with Tien Tsin remained entirely suspended for six days, and accordingly we were deprived of the means of obtaining supplies. We ac- cordingly marched back, though constantly attacked by the enemy, along the river, and escorted at the same time the wounded soldiers"
 After detailing the capture of the forts and supplies, Admiral Seymour added that the ammunition and food would have kept the relief column in condition for several days, but owing to the presence of so many wounded it was decided to return to Tlen Tsin. On the 23d the endorsements from that city came to the admirals as sistance, and on the 24th the entire force reached the headquarters of the allied ar- mics.

forced by a special mechanical appli-
