 FROM CITY OF TEEN TSIN

Copyrighted, 1900, by the Associated f,2ess5
 Che Foo, July 10 via Shanghai, July 15.- Several hundred refugees, most of them women and children, have left Tien Tsin in accordance with Admiral SeymouS's 6r- der to all non- -combatants to depart. Many women have remained behind, however, re- fusing to leave their husbands, whose n.--i- ness detains them The refugees were sent down the river on board lighters and tugs and were then transferred to merchant ships in the harbor -
 The American, Japanese and German warships received their people, the officers of the United States gunboat Yorktown generously entertaining two hundred, most of them missionaries and their families.
 The British refugees were crowded on a dirty freighter, and women accustomed to luxury, have been sleeping huddled to- gether on the deck. They complain bit- terly because the half empty British fleet decline to receive them, and they have

drafted a strong protest to Admiral Sey mour.
 The United States transport Logan has arrived with the Ninth Infantry from Ma nila. The work of disembarkation will oc- cupy some days, as boats are scarce. The Logan will take the American refugees to Nagasaki, and the Yorktown will leave to tow the Oregon to Yokohama.
 Cannon from the warships are being sent to Tien Tsin to silence the Chinese guns. Twenty-three guns shelled the Chinese batteries yesterday, the Chinese replying intermittently. Bodies of two thousand to three thousand attack the foreign lines daily. field battery is supporting the brunt of the attacks against the railway station and against the Russian and Jap anese outposts in that neighborhood.

sands of natives have been mutilated and tortured the women being first outraged and then massacred."
 The morning papers are unanimous in be- lieving that the foreigners have been an- initiated and in calling for retribution, the Daily Chronicle comments upon the state that the United States government will not consider itself at war with China, and says:
 If the Americans are resolved to accept an apology and indemnity for Mr. Con gers murder they may as well take the cancellations without moving another man or gun.
 Emperor William can scarcely take the Washington view, for he has pledged him. self to retribution, and he is a man of his word"
 The Daily Telegraph, the Times and other papers applaud Lord Salisbury's policy of employing Japan as the only policy that might have saved the foreigners.
 The Daily Telegraph declares that ter rible responsibility rests upon those who delayed Japanese action.
 The Times publishes a letter from it's Pe- kin correspondent, dated June 10, which contains an assertion made on seemingly good authority, that the Empress Dow ager had decided that every foreigner was to be massacred that night It also pub fishes the last message from it's corres- pondent dated June l, when the Boxers had made two attempts to rush the for eign quarters.
 Canton dispatches say that Ii Hung Chang has planned to start for the north on July IS, but he is much debilitated by catarrh of the stomach. He ordered the leader of the ',Black Flag to march with 5OOOO men overland to Pekin against the Boxers.
 Among the numerous Shanghai rumors are reports that the Governors of Shan Si and Hotan have joined the anti-foreign movement and that fifteen members of the Canadian Presbyterian mission and five engineers have been robbed at Nan Yang, in Hu Peh.
 It is also reported from Shanghai that the allied fleets are concentrating off Shan Hai Kwan and have been ordered to shell and capture the forts.
 A Tokio telegram announces that 19,000 Japanese troops are now embarking at Hiroshima.

FOREIGNERS FOUGHT
 BRAVELY TO THELAST
The MurderOus Boxers Rushed on Them Like Demons and Not
 One Was Left Alive.

Tung Fun Slang arrived from the vicinity of Tien Tsin with large force of Kan Su Braves. By this time the walls of the le-
 gation had been battered down and most of
 the buildings were in ruins. Many of the
 allies had fallen at their posts and the
 small band that was left took refuge in
 the wrecked buildings which they endeav-
 ored hastily to fortify
 Upon them the fire of the Chinese artil-
 lery was now directed. Toward sunrise it
 was evident that the ammunition of the all

 the advance of the Chinese failed to draw
 response, rush was determined upon. Met Death stubbornly Thus standing together, as the sun rose, the little remaining band, all the Europ-
 cans, met death stubbornly. There was a desperate hand-to-hand encounter. The The Chinese lost heavily, but one man fell ota2is advanced and finally overcome by overwhelming odds. every one of the Europeans remaining was put to the sword in the most atrocious manner" The Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Express, on alleged authority of couriers, who brought the story, gives d very sensa- | tional account. He says:
 "Maddened with hunger, after having been without food for many days. the members of the legation and the guards made sortie on the night of June 30 and killed 200 Chinese in an unexpected attack. 1 General Tung Fun Slang, enraged over the | loss of so many men, brought up heavy guns, and Prince Yuan gave the order that every foreigner must be destroyed. His words were: Destroy every foreign vestige | and make China a sealed book to all Vest ern powers
 Prince Tuan had previously discovered ] that Prince Ching was supplying the for
 eigners with ammunition. He therefore
 ordered General Fun Siah to fire on Prince
 Ching's troops, and it is reported that 500 were killed or seriously wounded.
 Tn the final attempt to cut their way
 through, the legationers formed a square,
 with the women and children in the cen ter, When the Boxers realized that they
 were being attacked, they became like wild
 beasts and shot each other with revolvers. Heavy guns bombarded all night until the
 buildings were demolished and in flames.
 Many foreigners were roasted in the ruins. The Boxers rushed upon them and hacked
 and stabbed both dead and wounded, cut
 ting off their heads and carrying these through the streets on the rifles. shouting fiercely They then attacked the native Christian quarters, massacred all who fused to join them, outraged the women and brained the children. Hundreds of mis- sion buildings were burned.'
 The correspondent adds:

The age-herald., 1900-07-16

London, July 16.-The Shanghai corres- pondent of the Daily Mail says:
 "I can assert positively that the Chinese authorities had the dreadful news from Pekin week ago, and that Sheng knew all the foreigners in Pekin were dead when he asked the American consul to cable Wash ington proposal to deliver the foreigners in safety at Tien Tsin on condition that the allies would suspend their operations to the north of Pekin."
 The correspondent adds certain details of affairs at Pekin after June 25. Accord ing to his story, the members of the lega- tion made daily sorties, by night, and so successfully as to compel the Chinese to retreat from the immediate vicinity. These reverses had a disheartening effect upon the Chinese, and there begun to be open signs of disaffection followed by assertions to Prince Chimens' army which was en- deavoring to cooperate with the beseiged. Ultimately Prince Yuan decided to make a night attack in three powerful columns.
 "At o'clock in the evening of July G., says the correspondent fire was opened with artillery upon the British legation, where the foreigners were concentrated. For two hours the walls were battered with shells and shot, and huge breaches were made in them Then again an advance was ordered by the Chinese infantry, and vol leying constantly, they moved toward the gaps The fire of the defenders, however, was so accurate and steady that herds of Chinese soldiers and Boxers broke and fled in the widest confusion, leaving large numbers of dead and wounded around the bo ral they were out of the rifle range of the foreigners.
 Artillery Fire Resumed
 "Then Prince Tuan, making a desper- ate appeal, induced them to stand and re- turn to the attack Artillery fire was then resumed, and at the middle watch sec ond attack was attempted. But before the attackers could accomplish their object, they were met by Prince Ching and Gen eral Wang Wen Shao with their troops, who were going to the aid of the foreign CTS A desperate battle ensued between the various forces of Chinese and Manchsus.
 ''Unfortunately, many of Prince Ching's troops deserted to Prince Tuan. Prince Ching fell and was supposed to have been killed but, as the search for his body was unsuccessful, it is now believed that he was only wounded and was carried off and secreated by his faithful retainers.
 General Wang Wen Shao, although grayhaired and 70 years of age, valiantly led his troops in person. He was killed ano his force, which was completely outnum bered, was routed.
 Throughout the night repeated attacks were made on the legations, but these were invariably repulsed with heavy losses. To- ward the end of the third watch about 5 a. m, the allies had practically defeated the besiegers who were wavering and grad ualiy withdrawing. But just then General
