SHANGHAI, June 6.--The soldiers dis
patched to attack the Boxers" have
fought an engagement quite close to Pc
kin. Many were killed on both sides.
Ii consequence of the representations
nj Japan, the landing Of large Russian
force at Taku is alleged to have been
stopped. 1t is believed here that should
Russia persist in sending a preponder-
ating military force to the front COLI
sion with Japan will inevitably result.
Alarming reports are current here Of
the hurried completion of the mobiIlza-
lion Of the Japanese fleet
The Russian minister at Pekin, NJ. De

situation was worse at Pekin, and this
a,a,cment taken in connection with Ad-
,nIral Kempr's alarming cablegram Of
,psterday announcing that an engage
nept had begun, decided the state de-
nortment to strengthen the naval forces
nearest the scene of trouble. Accord
ircly n cablegram was sent to Admiral
Rsmey ut Manila, directing him to dis
roteh at once to Admiral Kempff's
command the gunboat Helena, or II
tbpt Graf. Is not at Manila and ready
FOR Immediate service, then some craft
NJ correspondlngly light draft and
mower. The purpose is to place at Ad-
mlral Kempn's disposal an efficient
warshlp capable Of ascending the Pei
Ho river as far up as Tien TsIn. Adj
uiral Kempff's flagship. the Newark,
drawing twenty-three feet Of water,
cannot ascend the river safely beyond
the Taku forts near the entrance. but
the little Helena drawing only eleven
feet can safely ascend to Tlen TsIn,
forty miles above. She was specially
designed for service In these Chinese
rivers and SO is likely to prove much
more effective than any other of the
foreign warships which can pass the
Taku forts and, reach Tien Tsin. She
carries battery particularly adapted
10 dealing with such organized mobs as
the boxers" Besides her eight four
inch rapid fire guns she carries four six
FOUNDER rapid firers, two Colts and one
three-snch rapid FIRE field gun. She is
commanded by Commodore swInburne
and her complement is ten officers and
16G men. In view OF the service ahead
Of her 1t is expected that Admiral Re-
mey will add to this one or two COM
yanies of marines. 1t is gathered from
Admiral Kempf's advice that the Box
efs" are about to attack Tien Tsln so
thar the Helena will be particularly
welcome addition to the foreign fleet in
that part of China. II she leaves Ma
Mia to-day she should reach Taku next
Sunday night or Monday morning.
Secretary Hay cabled Minister Conger
a. Pekln, an authorization to call for
endorsements from Admiral Kempn
and to make such disposition of his
naval force as he deems proper to pro-
tect the American legation and consul
lates and American interests generally.
The administration is still determined
that the United States government shall
continue on It's independent course re-
spectihg the Chinese situation, though
willing to so as far as possible tic aid in
the restoration of peace and order in
China. Therefore Admiral Kempfr, has
not been instructed to join the other
naval COMMANDERS in the Pei Ho river in
concerted action.
