TEN TSIN RETAKEN.
Allied Forces Take the Walled City
After Hard Fight.
waIls Were Preached and All the Forts
Captured. the Chinese Being Complete
~ Routsd-Admirai Remey Olives
Details American Casua ties

London, July 1s.-The Shanghai cor
respondent of the Evening News tele-
graphing under date of July II, says:
"The allied troops resumed the attack
upon the walled city of Tien Tsin on
the morning of July IA, and succeeded
in preaching the walls and capturing
all the forts. The Chinese were COM
pletely routed, and the allies took pos
session Of the native city and its de-
lenses"
The guns of the allies did immense
damage to the native city, causing
many large confagrations, and finally
silenccd the majority OF the encmy's
guns simultaneously. Then 1900 Rus
slams, assisted by small parties OF
Germans and. French, assaulted and
captured eight guns that were in po-
sition on the railway embankment
and the fort, the magazine Of which
the French subsequently blew up. A
body of American, British. Japanese
and Austrian troops then made a
sortie and attacked the west arsenal,
which the Chinese had reoccupied.
After three hours Of the hardest fight
ing yet experienced the Chinese fled.
Admiral R-m-y Confirms II.
Washington, July 1s.-Admiral Re-
mey Tuesday cabled the navy depart
ment that the city and ports OF Tien
Tsin are in the hands of the allies.
His list Of killed and wounded is some
what fuller than Mondays report, but
still not entirely complete. His dis
patch follows:
Che Foo. July 1k-To-day hope to get
wounded from Ticn Tsin either In hos
pital at Taku or aboard Solace. Com
munication very uncertain. Following
casualties confirmed: Marines. Capt. Da-
Wis. killed; Capt. Lemly. Lieut.. Butler
and Leonard wounded. Army-Col. Liscum
killed: Reagan and Lee. Capt. Noyes,
| Brewster and Bookmiller. Lieut.. Naylor.
Lawton. Hammond and waidron wound
ed. Total killed and wounded reported
| It's; Russians and Japanese lost heavily;
our total loss reported. 215: about 10 ma
rines. but number believed to DO exag-
gerated. Have officer on shore especially
| to get authentic number of names. which
will be promptly telegraphed. City and
| forts now in hands OF allies.
The whole Chinese situation ma
terially frightened upon the receipt
Of Admiral Remey's cable. The Asso-
ciated press dispatch showing that
this was the native walled city,
cleared up an ambiguity that was
contained in the admiral's dispatch
and swept away the last doubt in the
official mind us to the Importance OF
the victory. The hostile Chinese have
been driven out of the shelter of the
city into the open plain. and the al
lied force has quadrupled its efficiency
in combat by placing the Chinese in
this position. 1t is not doubted that
the forward movement on Pekin will
begin rs soon us cavalry contingent
has arrived from Japan. which should
be within q day or two.
