New York, July ia dispatch to
the Herald from Tien Tsin Saturday,
via Che Foo, says: Russians made up
the right wing of the international col

of Tien Tstn on Friday. AS they moved
steadily over the open plain toward
the entrance of the city the Chinese
shelled steadily from the walls. The
Russians lost 300 killed and wounded.
The city was occupied by the inter
national troops, who found dead Chi
nese lying about the streets in hun

Though the taking of the city will
have the effect of discouraging the
Boxers, the total loss of the foreigners
