The Shanghai correspondent of the

Il can assert positively that the Chi

from Peking Il week ago, and that Sheng
knew ali the foreigners in Peking were
dead when he asked the American consul
to cable Washington a proposal to de-
liver the foreigners in safety at Tien Tsin
on condition that the allies would sus-

According to his story the members of
the legation made daily sorties some
times by night, and 50 successfully as
to compel the Chinese to retreat from
the immediate vicinity. These reverses

STORY OF THE ASSAULT.

STORY OF THE ASSAULT.
"At o'clock in the evening Of July g.
says the correspondent, fire 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 ad-
vance was ordered, and the Chinese in
fantry, VOlleying constantly, moved to-
ward the gaps. The fire of the defend
ers, however, was so accurate and steady
that hordes of Chinese soldiers and Box
ers broke and fled in the widest confu-
sion, leaving large numbers of dead and
wounded around the legation. They could
not be rallied until 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. Artillery fire was then re-
sumed, 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.
Wang Wen Shao with their troops, who
We're going to the aid of the foreigners
A desperate battle enSued between the
various forces of Chinese and Manchus.
PRINCE CHING. FELL.
unfortunately many of Prince Ching
troops deserted to Prince Tuan. Prince
Ching fell and was supposed to have
been killed, but as the search for his
body was unsuccessful it is now believed
that he was only wounded and was car
ried off and secreted by his faithful re-
tainerS.
Gen. Wang Wen Shao, although grey
haired and seventy years of age valiant
ly 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 invariably repuised with
heavy losses. Toward the end of the
third watch, about 5 a. M, the allies had
practically defeated the besiegers, who
were waVering and gradually withdraw
ing. But just then Gen. Tung F'uh Slang
arrived from the vicinity of Tien Tsn
with large force of Kan SG braves. BY
this time the walls of the legation had
been battered down, and most of the
buildings We're In ruins. Many of the
allies had fallen al their post, and the
small band that was left took refuge in
the wrecked buildings, which they en-
deavored hastily to fortify.
Upon them the fire OF the Chinese ar
tillery was now directed. Towards sun
rise it was evident that the ammunition
of the allies was running out, and at I
o'clock, as the advances of the Chinese
in force failed to draw a response, a
rush was determined upon.
ALL PUT TO THE, SWORD.
"Thus standing together and as the
sun rose the little remaining. band. ali
Europeans, met death stubbornly There
was q desperate hand-to-hand encounter.
The Chinese lost heavily, but as one
man fell others advanced and finally
overcome by overwhelming odds, every
one Of the Europeans remaining was
put to the sword in the most atrocious
manner

The correspondent adds:

The correspondent adds:
"All China is now aflame with revolt
against foreigners. Only in the extreme
West is there quiet. Every port, even
Shanghai, is menaced. In the provinces
of Hupe and Human, thousands Of ma
tive Christians have been mutilated and
tortured, the women being first outraged
and then massacred."
The morning papers are unanimous in
believing that the foreigners have been
annihilated and in calling for retribution.

The Daily Telegraph, the Times and
other papers applaud Lord Salisbury's
policy of employing Japan as the only
policy that might have saved the for

The Daily Telegraph says that a ter

delayed Japanese action.
TOLD BY THE THUNDERER.

respondent dated June II, when the Box
ers had made two attempts to rush the
foreign quarter.
Sir Halliday MacArtnerv. secretary IN
the Chinese legation in London, who was
interviewed yesterday, said the legation
had no advice nor any information of an

HEADS CARRIED ON RIFLES.

''In their final attempt to cut their way
through, the legationers formed a square
with the women and children in the cen
ter. When the Boxers realized that they
were being attacked, they became like
wild beasts and shot each other with
revolvers Heavy guns bombarded all
night until the buildings were demolished
and in flames. Many foreigners were
roasted in the ruins. The Boxers rushed
upon them and hacked and stabbed both
dead and wounded, cutting off their leads
and carrying these through the streets on
their rifles, shouting fiercely.

to make night attack in three powerful
columns.

couriers who brought the story, gives
very sensa tiona1 account. He says:
''Maddened with hunger, after having
been without food for many days, the
members of the legation and the guards
made a sortie on the night of June 80,
and killed 200 Chinese in an unexpected
attack. Gen. Tung Fuh Sieng, enraged
over the loss Of so many men, brought
up heavy guns, and Prince Tuan gave
the order that every foreigner must be
destroyed. His words were, Destroy ev-
cry foreign vestige and make China a
sealed book to all western powers.
Prince Tuan had previously discovered
that Prince Ching was supplying the for
eigners with ammunition. He therefore
ordered Gen. Fuh Slang to fire on Prince
Chings troops, and 1t is reported that
Ching was killed or seriously wounded.
