the Munster fusiliers and Yorkshire

the attack was continued and by noon
the town was In our possession. and

Our casualties were officers and

two wounded of the imperial yeomanry.

Found ALI Quiet and No Opposition.
Baden Powell reached Rustenburg
during the evening of July s, without
opposition. He found all quiet there
and public confidence purely sattsfae-
tory, thanks to the prompt ard bold
grasp Of the situation taken by Major
Hnnbury-Tracy.
THE district west OF this Is somewhat
unsettled. owing to the small force
which attacked Rustenburg being still
in that nelghborhood. Measures are
taken to meet this.
Further Information regarding the
capture Of Bethlehem has now been re-
ceivcd from Clements. He states that
the country there Is broken and ditfi-
cult. Consequently his and Paget's cav
airy were unable to mnke any wide
turning movement. Clements attacked
one position. while Paget attacked an
other. The position assailed by Glenn
ents was gallantly captured by the
Royal 1r!ah, who captured gun OF tho
SeveRty-sevensh battery lost at Storm-
bers. The list OF casualties has not yet
been received, but Clements states that
they are few, considering the strength
of the positions assaulted.

SEVERE FIGHTING
Around Tien Tsin-Chinese Had 75,-
900 Attacking simultaneously
From Three Cardinal Points.


LONDON. July II, +:15 a. m.-''No au-
thant. news from Pekin." is still the
burden of the dispatches from the far
east and although the disposition Is to
believe the optimistic reports from CHI
nese sources, no real confidence is pos
slblc until the legations IL they are still
In existence, are permitted to commu-
nicute with their governments. II, as Is
alleged. the boxer movement is losing
ground in Pekin. It might have been
supposed that the boxers would have
endeavored TO send up renforcements
from TIen Tsin, but, instead of that
they are still in great force in the
neIghborhood OF the latter place. and
are assisted by the Imperial Chinese
troops with ample, efficient artillery.
According to a special Che Foo dis
patch THE fighting around Tien Tsln on
the Cd and 4th was the severest yet cx-
perIenced. The British losses alone
were thirty killed or wounded. The
Chinese had 5000 men attacking Sim
ultaneously from the west. north and
east. and made excellent practice with
over 100 guns. The defenders number
ed 1900. with scant supplies, and 1t
was only the presence OF the newly
arrived Japanese and Russian guns that
prevented disaster.
Russians and Germans Suffer.
One Russian company OF infantry,
numbering 12O men. had 115 kllled or
wounded. The German contingent also
suffered heavily. BY the evening OF the
4th the situation was very critical. The
allies narrowly escaped total defeat.
Provldentially, when things were at
their worst. 4 torrential rainfall COM
PEELED the Chinese to retire.
On July 6. the rain having abated,
the Chinese renewed the attack, OPEN
Ing fire on Ticn Tsln with two batteries
of four inch guns. but the allies, aided,
by two of Her Maiesty's Ship Terrible's
Al guns, succeeded In sllencing the Chi
nese artillery after eight hours OF fight

general belief that the date of the dis

either accidentally or Intentional. The
courlers must have left Pekln at least
five days earlier, making the real date
OF the message June IS. while the al
legged massacres are said to have occur
red on June 30. Until this point can be
cleared up, the greatest anxiety will be
felt Us to The fate of the Europeans.
