HEAVY LOSS OF THE ALLIES.
Commander Tnussig Reports Twelve
Hundred KILLED and wounded.

Washington. Aug THE announce
ment received through Admiral Re
mey and Commander Taussig OF re-
ported heavy fighting on the road be-
yond Tien Tsin was the news OF inter
est in the Chinese situation yesterday.
Little doubt was expressed at the navy
department that the news was sub
stantially correct. 1t Is probable that
a later report may reduce the list or
casualties among the international
forces, but II Is evident that the move
on Pekin is at last fairly under way.
and that strong opposition has been en-
countered. The first dispatch, received
from Commander Taussig. OF the York
town, was dated Chefoo, Aug. G, and
was as follows:
british Fame reports. unofficial, en-
gagement at Peitsang Sunday morning
8 to 1890. Allied LOGS. killed and
wounded, 1900, chiefly Russians and
Japanese. Chinese retreating."
The dispatch from Admiral Remey,
also dated Chefoo, follows:
Unofficial report believed reliable
About 10000 allies heavily engaged
Chinese at Peitsang daylight Of the
5th"
Peitsang is the first railroad station
about eight miles northwest OF Tien
Tsin. on the way to Pekin.
Opinion among the various officials
now in Wilmington is somewhat di-
vided as to just what is presaged by
yesterdays events. The more optim-
istic are inclined. to think that such
severe blow as the Chinese must have
received at Peitsang will result in the
speedy disintegration Of the forces now
opposing the march of the international
column. In line with this prediction 1t
was protested that the Chinese gov
eminent would find means to send the
ministers from Pekin under escort. and
! thus stave off the advance upon the
capital. On the other hand there were
a number of officers, in position to
Judge equally well. who held that the
fight at Peitsang was only the begin
ming of a strenuous resistance that
would be continued to the gates Oh
Pekin or beyond. 1t was urged in sup
port of this view that the Chinese had
a hundred men to lose against one OF
the allies; that they were all wen
armed with modern guns and had ap-
parently an abundance of ammunition.
