THE MONOCACY DAMAGED.
London, June 20, $3.50 a. m.-The Unit
ed States gunboat Monocacy was two
miles up the Pei Ho river when the in
ternational fleet began the lombard
ment of the Taku forts. According to
the Shanghai correspondent of the Dali
ly Express she was shot through the
bow. The correspondent says that Chi
nese rifemen on both banks of the river
attacked her, but unsuccessfully.
The scantiness Of authentic news with
reference to the situation continues.
Admiral Kempff's dispatch to the Unit
ed States navy department announcing
that Tien-Tsin Is being bombarded is
prominently used by the London pa
pers, and is commented upon as indi-
eating a change for the worse. The
British admiralty does not believe the
report of the death of Admiral Sey-
mour, the commander of the interna-
tional relief column, and semi -official
assurances are given that there seems
to be not the slightest evidence to back
up such report. 1t is pointed out that
Admiral Seymour had sufficient sup
plies to enable him to get to Pekin or to
get back. I'VE are hopeful says the
semi official announcement, that since
he has not done the latter. he has done
the former"
