AMERICANS TAKE PART.
REINFORCEAfENTS BELIEVED TO BE AT
TIEN-TSIN
Rr ne Associated PressN

London June 23.-The silence of Peking con-
tinues unbroken. Four thousand men of the
allied forces were having sharp defensive fight
ing at Tien-Tsir on Tuesday and Wednesday.
with prospect Of being reinforced on Thurs
day. This is the situation IN China as set forth
n the British Government dispatches.
The Shanghai correspondent of The Daily
Express" says in q dispatch sent last evening:
Eight hundred Americans are taking part in
the lighting at Tien-Tsn. and they apparently
form a part OF a supplementary force arriving
with Germans and British after the conflict
started II is impossible to estimate the num-
her Of the Chinese there, but they had sur
prising number Of guns.
This information appears TO have been
brought by the United States gunboat Nash
vile to Che-Foo. and telegraphed thence to
Shanghai The Chinese are deserting Shanghai
in large numbers and going into the interior.
Reports from native sources continue to reach
Shanghai Of anarchy in Peking. According to
these tales. the streets are filled day and night
with Boxers. who are wholly beyond the con-
troll of the Chinese troops and who are working
themselves up TO frenzy and clamoring for
The death # all foreigners.
The English Consulate at Shanghai is said to
have received from influential natives reports
Of a tragedy in the palace at Picking. though
precisely what is not defined
The Consulate thinks that Admiral Seymour,
commander Of the international relief column,
was misled by information from Peking, and
consequently underestimated the difficulties in
his way and the Chinese power Of resistance
with Maxim guns and Mausers.
The Consuls at Shanghai still believe the for
eign Ministers at Pekng safe. although Jap
aness reports received at Shanghai allege that
u 10 June 10 one hundred foreigners had
been killed in the city.
