City Assaulted on Two Sides
Troops Arrived in Time to
Prevent Another Attack
on Legations.

London. June 2o.-The Russian
relieving force arrived outside OF Pekin
this morning. says the Shanghai cor
respondent OF the Daily Express. and
Immediately began to attack the city
on two sides, employing numerous ar
tillery. The force apparently arrived
in the nick OF time. for the Chinese as
sert that the attack upon the legations
had been successfully renewed. On the
night OF June 10th the Chinese troops
under Gems. Tung Fuh Slang and Tung
Ching attacked the legations and set on
fire five European buildings. Nothing
definite IL known as to the result, ex-
cept that the Chinese were disappointed
although other reports utterly discred-
tied by foreigners here are that the
Chinese. infuriated by the destruction
of Taku, have since massacred all the
foreigners In Pekin
A modified version OF these rumors
received at Berlin is that the French
MS well as the German minister has
been killed. The English at Shanghai
think the Chinese had foreign advice

cause of the precision with which their
attack was delivered
700 CHINESE KILLED.
The wires connecting with the harbor
mines were cut by the boats of the
warships the night before the lombard
ment. 1t is now reported at Shanghai
that Ii was on board the cruiser Cor
lies. and not the Mandashur, that the
explosion occurred. 1t is expected that
no fewer than 700 Chinese were killed
in the forts. The Shanghai correspond
ent of the Daily Express says he is Of

ing $4,000 men for immediate transport.
The whole fleet of the Nippin Yusen

company has been chartered. The

tion and took up a position command
