THE 1AKU FORTS TAKEN.
The Chinese Opened on the Assem-
bled Fleet and We're Soon
Knocked Out.
MANY WERE KILLED OR WOUNDED.
Tsin-The Ninth United states In
fantry Ordered from MansIa 10
China, and the Seventh 6eHUal
Infantry from Silnla.

London, June 10, $50 a. H.-China
declared war against the world when
the Taku forts opened fire upon the
International fleet. The accounts of
what took place are still unsatisfac-
tory, the best semi-otiicial informa-
ton being the dispatch received at
Berlin from Che Foe.
The unofficial narratives coming by
way of Shanghai, vary and bear in
ternal evidence of supplanting the
main facts with guess work. One dis
patch says that the Yorktown particle
pated in the bombardment. Another
asserts that American marines formed
part of the storming force of 1000.
A press dispatch from Che Foo, dated
yesterday afternoon, says:
THE forts on both sides of 'Taku are
now occupied. The Chinese opened
fire unexpectedly. The casualties to
the mixed force were as follows:
Killed, British, 1; German, 3; Russian,
l, and French, /. Wounded, British, 4;
German, :; Russian, IS, and French. 1.
Chinese torpedo boats We're seized"
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Mail, telegraphing yesterday,
says:
1.-The forts began firing in observance
to orders from Pekin, conveyed in a
personal edict from the empress dow
Gger by advise of Hang vi president
of the ministry of war;. Several war
ships We're struck by shells from the
Pinch guns of the forts.
1.-The heavy Russian losses were due
to the blowing up OF the magazines of
Mandshur.
-Four hundred Chinese are reported
killed. The Chinese, when r%etreating,
fell into the hands o. the Russian land
forces"
The Daily News has the following
from Che Foo:
1.-TWO of the forts were blown up.
The 81 war ships at Taku aggregated
2OO,O 900 IN and carried more than
three hundred guns"
The failure of Admiral Seymour's
column and it's retreat to Tien Tsin
increases, it is presumed, the peril of
the legations in Pekin, which is still
isolated, although Shanghai forwards
Chinese rumors that the legations were
attacked by mobs, who were moved
down by machine guns, and also that
the members of the legations were
maSsacred.
The powers are taking prompt ac-
ton. FOur ThOusaud German troons
have been ordered TO China; 10000
French troops are waiting to embark
at Saigon, capital of French Cochin
China; and from 2,G0O to 5000 more
Russians have been ordered from Port
Arthur to Taku.
