TEN TSIN RELIEVED.
of the Report Received
in Europe.

London, June 26.-1:4S p. m.-The ex-
clusive dispatch of the Associated
Press from Che Foo, giving Rear Ad-
miral Kempff's authoritative. announce
ment of the relief of Tien Tsin June
I23rd, remained for hours the sole news
of this occurrence of worldwide i'm
lportance. At about 1 o'clock the Hong
Kong and Shanghai bank, London
branch, received confirmation of the
news and at about the same time Mr..
dawson, a delegate from Singapore to
the congress of the association of cham
bers of commerce of the United King

his fellow delegates, amid loud cheer

Path to rescue Vice Admiral Seymour,
who. with the foreign ministers, was
said to be occupying a position twelve
and a half miles from Tien Tsin, where
he was surrounded and pressed by a
lgreat force of Boxers and Chinese reg

that Seymour is a prisoner n that
the ministers left Pekin guarded by
lChinese soldiers is merely a distorted
version of the Berlin story. But in any
levent news may be expected speedily
and it is confidently believed here that
seymour and his companies will be
safely delivered from their plight.
CONDITION OF TEN TSIN HOR-
RIBLE.
According to the report of a China
