SHOT BY FRIENDS.
Wounded in seymOur's Column
Slain at Their Own Requests.

New York, July 15.-A dispatch
from Tien Tsin, July 8, says:
Intellectual attempts have been
made to conceal the horrible fact
that Admiral Seymour was COM
PEELED to shoot his own wounded
during the recent disastrous retreat
Of the Pekin relief expedition.
All the wounded and prisoners
who fell into the hands of the Chi
nese were frightfully tortued.
The bodies had been cut into
pieces. First the eyes had been
hacked out; then the cheeks, arms
and legs cut off, until death ended
the sufTerings of the poor fellows.
When Admiral Seymour in his
retreat found himself so hard press
ed that he was unable longer to
carry his wounded with him, he
asked them: (Which do you pre-
fer to be left to the mercies of the
Chinese or be shot by your own
comrades?"
AS Admiral Seymour put the
question the tears were running
down his cheeks.
1--WE prefer death to torture.
Shoot us now that we may die like
men, - was the piteous response Of
the helpless men.
A firing squad was told off and
while the little allied force stopped
and beat off with gun fire the Chi
nese horde that surrounded it, in
side its lines an act of mercy was
performed as the firing squad car
ried out its orders.
A few merclful volleys from the
rifles in the hands of friends and
the harassed expedition was re-
lieved of its burden of wounded;
the fanatical Chinese horde was
GuNdlCu VI NlNIllAS AOl lbS vi lhl =
and the sufferings and fears of the
unfortunates were brought to an
end in an honorable death under
their own flag.
The British and American forces
are brigaded together on the west
side of the town; the Germans and
Japanese on the south side; the
French and Russians on the north
and a force of Cossacks hold the
east side.
Scouts report that Imperial Chi
nese troops have arrived from Pc
kin well equipped and with many
guns.
Troops of native cavalry and
hordes of boxers are coming from
the east and south.
