London, June "a, s:20 a. m.-The only
dispatches from China received last night
are those which give further details of the
repulse of Thursdays attempt 10 relieve
Tien Tsin.
According to a dispatch from Che Foo,
hordes Of Chinese, with well-posted ar
tillery block the way of the American

lies could make no impression, and it was
found impossible to shift the enemy's
position. Nothing could be done, except
to fall back. and this was accomplished
in good order.
II was ascertained that the foreigners
in Tien Tsin were making a gallant de-
tense. The French concession buildings
had been vigorously attacked with fire,
and in all probability have been reduced
to ashes.
After the force retired an armored train
attempted to reconpoiter, but was de-
rallied.
More troops are arriving at Taku, and

Jameson Says n Few Things About
His TrnnsvnaI Raid.

London. June A.-There was almost a
total absence of war news from South
Africa last night, and the kilograms re-
ceived lack interest and fail to add to the
facts already known.
According to special dispatch from
Cape Town. it seems that In the recent
fight at Zand river, the Beers captured
2cOO mail bags containing a three-weeks'
accumulation of letters for Lord Roberts
army and "a 900 worth of stamps, intended
for the use of the troops.
AT Kimberley Friday evening DR. Jane
son addressed the electors He sketched
the position of the Rand at the time OF
the raid, emphasizing the discomfort of
the working classes who we're groaning
under grievances and were ripe for revolt.
He denied that the raid caused racial trou-
bles, induced the Beers to arm or hamp-
cred the imperial government. Race feel
ing, he continued, always existed and arm
ament already had been commenced by
the Transvaal government, while the inn
perial government did not intend to take
effective steps 10 redress the Outlanders'
grievances.
This is the first time that DR.. Jameson
has broken the silence on the subject OF
the raid.
The Transvaal anuexati ton proclamation
is soon expected. Almost all reports in
dicate that the Beers are rapidly reallz-
Ing the fuulity of a further struggle when
opposed to such an overwhelming force
one of the most noticeable features of
the week in South Africa was Lord Rob
erts abandonment Of humane measures
toward the Beers which he had so long
persisted in despite the criticism of tho
British colonists and many officers. The
stern vengeance that now will be visited
not only on those who give the Beers
passive assistance, but on those who. af-
ter surrender fail to assist The British
arms. savors more of Gen. Kitchener than
of "Bobs" "

kempn's Report That We Have Been
Fighting China's Army.

Washington, June 23.-The navy depart
ment this morning received an important
dispatch from Admiral Kempff, stating
that an engagement is now in progress
between the United States marines and
other forces against the Chinese army out
side OF Tien Tsin. The following bulletin
has been issued by the department.:
Acting Secretary Hackett has this
morning received a dispatch from Admiral
Kempff dated Che Foo. June q. TO the

Ter, together with 400 Russians, have had
an engagement with the Chinese army

another attempt"
Admiral Kempff's dispatch, stating that
an engag cement had occurred near Tien
Tsin, and that another was about TO oc-
cur, sent a thrill OF expectancy through
out official circles here other dispatches
had been received, giving additional de-
tabs, but these were not made public,
az they did not shed light upon the en-
gsgement itself, but more on the move
ments OF the forces. The official informa-
ton gave no clue whatever as to the
extent OF any casualties which may have
been suffered by the American forces en-
gagged. and this was taken to indicate
that the loss was little or nothing in the
face OF such an III equipped foe.

blegram from Admiral Kempff was receiv-
ed late this afternoon at the navy depart

"Che Foo, June %. 19O0.-secretary Navy,

ties Of coast and river provinces and cities
in China that they intend TO use armed
force only against the Boxers and those
people who oppose them IN the march to
Pekin for the rescue of their fellow couu-
irymen. 'kemDn."
Admiral Kempff's message is OF import
ance as showing the present attitude of
the Powers represented in Chinese wa
trs. II indicates that for the present, at
least, they are operating In harmony for
the release of the foreigners who are con-
fined in the Chinese capital and that they
are taking active steps by means of fprocla-
nation to have this fact become known
TO the peaceably inclined Chinese.
Omcials here interpret the proclamation
as a conciliatory measure and believe IL
calculated to restore the confidence of the
Chinese people In the pacific intentions OF
the Powers.

REMOVAL OF THE TROOPS.
Another Regiment May Soon Come
Home From Cuba.

Havana, June 3.-Now that the elections
are satisfactorily over Gen. Wood will rec
ommend the removal of an infantry regi-
ment from the island, probably the stc-
ond. Cavalry are needed in the event OF
any trouble occurring, which is unlikely,
but Gen. Wood feels, as he has for over a
year, that the troops could be reduced by
removing almost the entire infantry ex-
cept in places where they can be used
mounted, as in the Santiago province. The
removal of the troops as proposed inspires
the Cubans with a feeling of contentment
and confidence in the joint resolution OF
Congress. They appear to believe that
each removal means another step towards
Cuba's freedom.
