MANY REFUGEES FROM CHINA
DR.. Leslie Details His Experiences
With the Boxers.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 18.-A number
Of refugees have arrived here from
China on the steamer Hong Kong Maru.
Among them is DR.. P. @. Leslie of
Montreal. DIR. Leslie tells the following
story:
"When the news was received from
the north by a special messenger that
the various consuls had ordered all their
people out of Ceina Immediately party
Of five started out from the mission in
Honan-Ko.
about the tenth day of our journey
we were suddenly attacked by 200 or
300 yelling Chinese robbers. Among us
five there were only three revolvers.
We fought like demons to protect the
women and children. Several China
men were killed and several wounded
before the weapons were knocked out of
our hands by stones and sword cuts.
Most fortunately for our hard pressed
party, just as things were beginning to
look hopeless for US some Of the Chinese
pounced upon our valuables They fell
to fighting among themselves and robbed
us of everything we had.
81 have 10 wounds as a result Of my
encounter with the Chinese. Fortu-
nately my wife received no injuries in
the fight: few slight bruises, that is
all, and the other ladies also escaped
without injury"

Allies Lost Heavily.

TOKYO, Aug. 18.-General Yamagu-
chi wires from Peking under date of
Aug. 10 as follows:
'The allies attacked Picking early
yesterday, opening with artillery on the
eastern side. The wall was obstinately
held by the enemy. The Japanese and
Russians were on the northward of
Tung Chow canal. The Americans and
British were on the south side. At night
fall the Japanese blew up the two east
gates of the Tartar city and entered. In
the meantime the Americans and Brit
ish entered the Chinese city by the Tung

CHINESE BARRED THEIR WAY
Tung FUN Defeated and His Army De-
moralized-Enemy FIees.

CHE Foo, Aug Is, via SHANGHAI,
Aug. 18.-Couriers from the front re-
port that after capturing Ho ST WI the
the allied forces marched on Matou.
General Tung Fuh Slang, with large
army, barred their way, but they fought
him back miles, completely demoraliz-
ing his army and preventing it from
making a stand at Matou, which was
taken with trifing loss.
Until Ho Hsi WI was reached the
march was terribly hot and dusty, but
since leaving there torrents Of rain have
fallen and made the marching eXtraor-
dinarily heavy.
The American troops are suffering Sc
verely, many Of them are falling out ex-
hausted.
The Chinese were preparing enormous
trenches at Ho Hsi WI with which 10
food the country, but the rapid advance
Of the allies surprised them before they
had turned in the water, and they
dropped their spades and fed.
The Chinese army split into three,
one retreating to Peking, one remaining
to resist the advance and the third NOV
ing south.
Indians Lead the Advance.
The allies are led in their advance by
squadron of Bengalese cavalry, big
turbaned Indians who enjoy the heat
from which the white men suffer. On
Tuesday they turned the enemy's flank
and captured many standards and bu-
giles, killing 80, including ten officers.
They lost only one horse.
The Japanese cavalry engaged the en-
emy's front, at the same time, acting as
infantry. Messengers from the lega-
lions are getting through the Chinese
lines daily and reporting to the allied
commanders. They say the Chinese
government brought strong pressure to
bear on the ministers in an effort to in
duce them to leave the city and thus
save China the disgrace of the capture
of Picking.
General Chaffee sends word to Tien
Tsin that it is not safe to send on sup
plies without strong escort.
The British are sending up another
Lyddite gun and the Russians two more
battc~ies. The Sixth cavalry has been
REIN reed by two troops and the entire
regiment has gone to the front.
News has just been received from Pc
king that General LII Ping Hang and the
Chinese imperial guard are inside the
city with 80 modern Krupp guns. that
General Jung Lu and 10000 Manchu
troops hold the forbidden city, and that
$4,000 troops from Honan are bivouacked
outside the walls. The final Chinese
force at Peking is 10000.

Seaboard Air Line TO Build From
Lyons to Dublin.

DUBLIN, Ca, Aug 18.-There seems
to be little doubt that in few months
the Seaboard Air Line will build a
branch road from Lyons to Dublin. Re-
Gently prominent citizen of Dublin
visited Savannah and was informed by
Seaboard official that everything point
ed favorably to an early completion
of the extension to Dublin.
From Lyons to Dublin is only about
40 miles, which will put Dublin within
t20 miles of Savannah against ITO as at
present. At Dublin the Seaboard would
connect with the Macon and Dublin
road and thus give Macon another line
to Savannah.
