CANNOT Relieve PEKiN.
Admirals Decide Army Is Too Small
for the Siege.

London. July 4. 1890 a. ma dispatch
from Taku. dated Friday, June 2S, via
Shanghai, July 3. says: A reconnoitering
party under Lieutenant Commander Keyes
of the torpedo boat Fame, captured and
destroyed the new city and the port, 12
miles from Taku, on June 2S There was
little or no opposition. Two blue jack
cts were injured by an explosion and
many Chinese were killed. The river is
practically clear from Taku to Tien Tsin,
with the exception of few sunken tow
boats and lighters.
In the second attack on the east ar
senal on June q, the Russians were re-
quired to retire for reinforcements. A
force Of British, one company of Ger
mans and 30 Americans, then engaged
the enemy, who. with four guns. made
a determined resistance until the whole
allied force suppressed the artillery.

KEYEs CAPTURES PORT.
Two Blue Jackets and Many Chinese
Killed.

London, July 4, 12:45 p. ma dispatch
from Taku, dated Saturday, June 80, and
Che Foo, Tuesday, July 3, says that the
British and Russian admirals at a coun-
Gil of war held June 30, decided that it
was impossible to attempt to relieve Pc
kin without greatly increased forces.
They also concluded that 1t would be
possible to hold Tien Tsin but in the
event of this not proving feasible, they
will endeavor to retain possession of
Taku. One hundred and forty thousand
imperial troops are stationed between
Pekin and Tien Tsin, while the total of
the allied forces which can be concen-
trated at the present barely numbers 90
900. It is reported that General Mich 81
Chang is advancing for an attack on
Tien Tsin with 10000 troops.
Another report has been received at
Taku to the effect that the German
guards rescued the bodies of Baron Won
Ketteler, the late German minister to
China, after he was murdered by the
Chinese.

ALL FOREIGNERS AT THE CHIMES CAPITAL SAID TO HAVE BEEN
KILLED AND THE CONDITION is AWFUL
NO HOPE Of RELIEVING THE TOWN
SETTLEMENT AT TEN TsIN IS AGAIN SURROUNDED AND
WOMEN AND CHILDREN ARE TO BE REM0vED-CHRIS-
TIANS MURDERED AND Bull LDINGs BURNED,

London, July 4, 1852 p. m..--"Not a sim
gle foreigner is now alive in Pel<in," is
the latest Chinese report which has
reacher Shanghai.
Earlier reports from the some sources
describe the condition of the Pritish lega-
, ton as something awful. 1t is said that
rooms of the legation were filled with sick
and wounded, the killed lying unburied
in heaps 1t is believed shat many men,
bers and officers of the Tsung III Yamen
perished when the German guard, mad
dened by the murder of Baron Won ket-
teller, the German minister, set fire TO the
buildings. That the foreigners at the
Chinese capital have been abandoned to
their horrible fate seems no longer open
to doubt in the light of the message re-
ceived by the Associated Press from
Iaku this morning announcing the de-
clsion of the admirals regarding the
hopelessness of further attempts to re-
lleve Pekin under the circumstances. The
same message fOreshadows the evacua-
ton OF Tien Tsin by the International
forces pending the arrival Of a fully
equipped army and while the arrival Of
comparatively small garrison at Tien
Isln at point under the protection of
the naval guards would relieve much
OF the anxiety, it is felt here that a
retreat or the troops is liable to set
aname the provinces at present quies-
cent.
Advices from Shanghai today say that
there is continued fighting at Tien Tsin
while the German consul at Che Foo
+, telegraphsE to Berlin confirming the re-
port of>the hostilities. The foreign set
tlenent at Tien Tsin is again surrounded
and is being bombarded and the women
and children are to be removed. The
dispatch adds that the Chinese troops
nave again advanced against the road
ana That the bridges have been destroy
ed, but that communication by water
mas been maintained. The telegram from
Iaku confirms the report that the mis-
sion buildings at Moukden have been
burned and that many native Chris
tlans nave been killed. With the
view OF emphasizin his agreement
with the Europeans, Viceroy Lin has
stopped mounting guns on the Yang Use
klang forts. He has also stopped other
anti foreign war preparations and has
refused to assist Ii Ping Hing with
troops for the north. He accused the
latter of being the cause of the Ger
mans taking Shan Tung. Consequently
Il Ping Hing has left Nankin with only

Two of the most extraordinary in

in war: 1t cannot, however, be said
that one of these characters was of
the true military type, Xerxes I. Of

position. He; could not thrash the,
sturdy Greeks, but he thrashed the
sea. This happened during his inya-

than 5,25O,o0O people. By the orders
of this proud and insolent monarch a
bridge had been built across the OAR

host, and as this structure was de-
stroyed by a storm he caused chains
to be thrown into the sea and the
waves to be whipped with them as al
punishment, for having thwarted his
purposes. And yet historians tell sHs
that xerxes was highly accomplf 4

But the Bohemian had no ships to

at this that he ordered bombardment

the days OF Peter the Great. In other
nations the soldier fights for his coun-
try, for the idea that is SO clearly crys-.
tallized in the German motto, EUR
Colt und Vaterland;" but the Russian
Soldier fights for God and the car. To
his mind, the car is especially appoint
ed by God as: the viceroy to govern that
!. large portion of the earth called Rus
STA, and devotion toHthe car includes
all that we understand in the word pa
triotism. ss,z T. 3 :.
The peasant class or moozhiks :.
which supplies the great body of Rus
sian soldiers, leads a hard life. In an,
atmosphere of ignorance and 5supersti-
ton, amid dull, somber surroundings, a
cherries climate and monotonous vii
.lage life, their characters, dispositions
and habits are determined. In appear
ance the Russian soldier is usually sal
low-complexioned, lank in figure, with
straight yellow hair and a heavy ex-@
preston of face. His disposition is
gentle and good-natured, even his
braWls being of the maudlin and fool;
ish rather than fighting kind Since
his surroundings from earliest child
hood tend only to destroy his indlvld,
uality;, he is incapable Of acting for
himself and utterly dependentsu his
officers, for whom, naturally enough, he
has great respect. He neverameets or
addresses an officer without standing at
!. attention, 2 with his hand at his cap
through the whole conversation, and
until the officer has passed. He. does
not even answer a question with di-
rect Eyes, sir, = sir,''S but with
"Quite so,'' or s IN OF exactly. so.'' He
always addresses an officer. by his
