DIsCORD AMONG FOREIGNERS.
Russians Said to BE Planning to Act
INDEPENDENTLY.

Copyright, 1900, by the Associated Press)
Che Foo, June 2j.-The officers of the
British frst-class cruiser Terrible assert
that discord exists between the Russians
and Anglo-Americans. and they say they
believe the Russians are planning to
break the concert and take possession of
Pekn independently.
They assert that Vice Admiral Sew
mour's command lacked unison, the for
eilsners sulking because they were under
British leadership. They bitterly de-
nounce the Russians general conduct as
unciviized and barbarous and charge that
the s aughter of peaceful Cinnamon at
Taku has aroused the otherwise passive
natives against the foreigners.

SEYMOUR NEAR TEN TsIN
Kempff's Report the First News OF
His Whereabouts

MS W ncfSoDOutS.
Washington. June 26.-The navy depart
ment has received the following cable
gram from Admiral Kempff:
'Taku, June %. 190O.-Secretary of the
Navy Washington: Relief force reached
Tien Tsin 2Sd, loss very small; Pekin re-
lief force which left Tien Tsin June 10,
reported ten miles from Tien Tsin sur
rounded; force left Tien Tsin oath to rem
der assistance.
"Kempff"
Admiral Kempff's statement that the
Pekin relief force is ten miles from Tien
Tsin is the first word of any kind that
has located the party of $500 under Vice
Admiral Seymour and including Capt.
McCalla. with about one hundred United
States marines. The last heard of them
was on June 12-just two weeks ago-when
they were stalled at Lang Fang, about
two-thrds of the way from Tien Tsin to
Pekin, short of supplies and water, the
railroad torn up, and with a menacing
army of Chinese about them.
If Admiral Kempff's information is cor
rect, il discloses that Admiral Seymour's
force has not been able to get through to
Pekin, but has retraced good part of the
distance previously covered. and is now
back within ten miles from Tien Tsin-
The whole distance from Tien Tsin to
Pekin is about eighty miles and the Sey-
mour expedition, when at Lang Fang had
covered about fifty-tive miles of this dis
tande. 1t is 10 succor this Seymour party
that the latest expedition left Tien Tsn
on the 2ith instant, according to the clos
Ing words of Admiral Kempffs report
There have been so many expeditions
that officials themselves are somewhat
confused as to the several movements
and ii is wei TO locate the different ex-
petitions as they stand by the latest dis
patches. The first body of foreign troops
about $50 in number, and including fifty
six American marines, which went TO
Pekin to guard the legations is thought
to have got through. The second force
of $500, under Seymour, after making two
thirds of the distance is now back ten
miles from Tien Tsin, according 10 Ad-
miral Kempf.
The first force which went against Tien
Tsin including Maj. Walters marines and
400 Russians, was repulsed with loss. This
was reinforced to 1900 men and the rein
forced body entered Tien Tsin on the 23d
On the oath a relief column started TO the
assistance of the force ten miles from
Tien Tsin. These several bodies are wide
ly separated, and show the extent of the
present field of action.
