Another Severe Eneagement.

TEN TsIN, July 10,-The Chinese
shelled the foreign settlements all day
long July 3. Upward of $50 shells fell
into the concession and many houses
were partially wrecked. The casualties,
however, were few, the civilians and
women and children being ordered to
seek shelter in the cellars of the town
hall and the Astor hotel.
Three companies of japanese infantry,
a mountain battery and body of Rus
slams engaged the Chinese artillerists,
but with little effect. The 12-pounder
of the British first class cruiser Terrible
then came into action, but the enemy
placed two shells fairly under the gun,
damaging the carriage and wounding
the crew. The gun was withdrawn and
replaced by French gun, which had a
similar experience, shell bursting in
the midst of it.
The japanese casualties during the
day were an officer and two men killed
and 90 men wounded. The casualties of
other forces engaged are not known.
The Chinese in the vicinity of Tien
Tsin have been reinforced during the
last As hours by& several thousand of
General Mas and General Sung's troops
from Picking.
The Chinese have also mounted a
number of heavy guns commanding the
settlements.
A force of Boxers numbering about
5000 men have entered the native city.
Vice Admiral Alexieff has arrived
here and is expected to assume supreme
command.
The allied forces now number about
10000 men, including 800 Japanese.

LONDON, July 10.-The Chinese Off
cial sources furnish another surprise II
announcing that the dowager empress
who had been reported within two weeks
dead, fed, poisoned and hopelessly mad
has resumed the reins of power. The
date given is June 80, the same on which
the wholesale massacre of foreigners il
alleged to have occurred.
The telegram of Sheng, the minister
of telegraphs and railroads, to the min
lister at Washington, WI Ting Fang
saying the imperial government is pro
tecting the legations, appears to fit IL
with the dispatch from Shanghai, par
ticularly with reference to the alleged
directions given by the dowager empires;
relative to the protection of foreigners
At the same time people continue to ask
why, if the legations are protected, the
ministers are not permitted SO commu-
cate with the outer world.
Sheng's expressed fear that the fooC
and ammunition of the legations are ex
hausted are counteracted by the news
that Prince Ching, the commander OF
the Manchu field force, is revictualins
them, beside which it is now known
that in the last resort there are available
for food several hundred ponies, usually
kept within the walls of the British le
cation.
In the meantime, according to the le
cation Of Japan here, the Japanese by
no means share the general opinion that
the advance on Peklng must be indefi-
nitely delayed. The officials assert that
the Japanese have no intention of halt
ing at Taku or Tien Tsin, but propose to
advance on Peking during the present
week.
Their military authorities express the
opinion that the 10000 Of their troops
in addition to the international forces
already available, will suffice to enter
the Chinese capital.
Emperor William has dispatched the
German warship Buzzard from KieI fol
China, while the German cruisers Geiel
and Sea Adler have been ordered to pro-
coed to China as rapidly as possible from
their American and Australian stations
respectively.
It has been learned that the Chinese
legation here. though apparently unable
to communicate directly with Picking, is
getting news from there Indirectly. The
officials of the legation declare the pres
ent trouble is entirely the work OF
Prince Tuan and that the government
the dowager empress and the Chinese
generally are against the Boxers. The
officials also say they have reason tc
hope that the situation in Picking is. i'm.
proving and that Prince Ching will sue
coed in protecting the foreigners. They
secuted the stories of the massacre Of
the people in the legations and the pois.
