ADMIRAL SEYMOUR RESCUED
Reported Casualties to the lnterna-
tiOnal Column 400.

No News from Prkin and No Mention
mour's Sick and wounded at TIen-
Tsin.
Admiral Seymour and his column has
been relieved and 200 of his sick and
wounded are in Tien-Tsin, out the fate of
the ministers and other foreigners who
were in Pekin is still unknown. An Off
cisi despatch from Port Arthur TO the Rus
sian war office reporting the rescue of Sey-
mour makes no mention of the foreign
ministers being with him, and neither does
despatch from Chefoo confirming the
Port Arthur statement. Admiral Kempff's
despatch, which was accepted in many
quarters as settling the question of the
safety of the ministers, was but the repe-
titiOn of a rumor. 1t will be unfortunate
if the mystery hanging about the fate of
the foreigners who we're in Pekin is not
cleared up speedily.
A despatch from Shanghai says: "Sey-
mOur arrived at Tien-Tsn with 312 of his
force wounded, besides 62 killed. The
damage done to Tien-Tsin has been much
exaggerated. Shanghai is quiet"
A despatch from London says that Col
Dorward, British, commanded the column
that relieved Admiral Seymour. American
marines participated in the achievement.
The admiral was found intrenched and
surrounded by immense masses of Chinese,
who were driven off by the relieving col
umn, after a brisk fight. His men had
made brilliant resistance, never falling in
courage for 10 days of continuous fighting
During 10 days the men were on quarter
rations. They started with provisions for
10 days, and they could have held out a
day or two longer. The column was few
miles beyond Lola.
Deeming it hopeless TO attempt to break
through the hordes, Admiral Seymour es-
sayed a night retreat toward Tien-Tsin I;

troops of all arms, largely japanese, have
now been landed.
Three British war ships have sailed from
Hong Kong to reinforce the allied squad
ron at Shanghai. The southern provinces
are sending troops toward Pekin, and the

Shanghai continues, at the rate of from
