FROM TWO CONsULS.
Messages Repeating Rumors Regard
ing the Peking Legations.

WASHINGTON, July 10.-The secretary
Of state this morning received dispatch
from Mr. Goodnow. United States consul
general at Shanghai. stating that it is
given out by the Governor of Shan-Tung
that the legations were standing on July 5.
and that the outlaws were dispensing. Mr..
Goodnow adds that this statement does not
obtain general credence.
The following official dispatch was re-
oeived here tonight from Consul Fowler,
stationed at Che-Foo, China: 'Shan-Tung
Governor wires he has reports that on
July all legations in Peking were safe,
except the German"
The information contained in Consul
Fowler's dispatch is very much the same
as that in the cablegram received early in
the day from Consul Goodnow at Shang-
hal, except that it reported the legations
safe one day earlier. specifically omitting,
however, that of the Germans. Both dis
patches apparently were based on the same
source-the Governor of Shan-Tung prov
ince-and for this reason not as much faith
is felt as to the accuracy as would have
been the case had the information come
through more reliable channels. At the
same time officials hope ii is true. Consul
Fowlers dispatch was undated.
Secretary Long said tonight there was
not word Of news for the press from
China, but that he expected some to-mor-
row.
Mr.. WI, the Chinese minister. said to-
night he had not heard from PelSing to-day
directly or indirectly. nor had he received
any reply to the message sent by him 10
high Chinese official in Shanghai. request
ing him to make IL known by the best
means possible that liberal reward is of
fered by the American people for the safety
of the besieged Americans in China.

TIEN-TSIN, July 5.-Yesterday large
forces of Chinese troops attacked the set
tement from two directions--one from the
western arsenal and the other upon the
railway station. on the opposite bank of
the river. The Chinese evidently now have
a more capable commander The attack
from the arsenal was directed upon what
is probably the weakest point of the de-
fense. which has hitherto not been pressed
The Chinese advanced on this side across
an open plain. without cover. and the at
tack was easily repulsed by the British
guns. The enemy made simultaneous at
tack on the station with large infantry
force. covered by the fire of eleven guns
The British replied with two of H. NJ s.
Terrible's twelve-pounders and five smaller
guns. while the combined forces of Brit
ish. French. Russian and japanese infan-
try moved out To deal with the Chinese in
fantry attacks. The Chinese artillery prac-
tice was excellent. and the allied troops
suffered severely from well-directed shell
fire.
The Japanese, whose behavior was splen-
did, executed a well-conceived movement,
and succeeded in turning the Chinese left
and driving the enemy from their strong
position among the irrigation trenches The
Chinese retired to the native city. and the
allied infantry then withdrew. and the af-
fair became an artillery duel. lasting until
darkness. with little damage TO either side.
\ British regiment of Cinnamon which was
engaged proved very steady under fire.

Allied Forces suffer Severely ON the
Sd and 4th of July.


LONDON. July IL, Ais a. m-"No au-
thentic news from Peking'' is still the bur-
den of the dispatches from the far East,
and although the disposition is to believe
the optimistic reports from Chinese
sources. no real confidence is possible until
the legations, II they are still in existence,
are permitted to communicate with their
governments. III, as is alleged, the Boxer
movement is losing ground in Picking it
might have been supposed that the Boxers
would have endeavored to send up rein
forcements from Tien-Tsin. but instead OF
that they are stin in great force in the
neighborhood of the latter place and are
assisted by the imperial Chinese troops
with ample efficient artillery.
According to special Che-Foo dispatch
the lighting around Tien-Tsin on the Sd
and 4th was the severest yet experienced
The British losses alone were thirty killed
or wounded. The Chinese had 5000 men
attacking simultaneously from the west,
north and east. and made excellent prac-
tice with over one hundred guns. The
defenders numbered 1900 with scant sup
plies. and 1t was only the presence of the
newly arrived japanese and Russian guns
that prevented disaster. One Russian
company OF infantry numbering 10 men
had 1i5 killed or wounded. The German
contingent also suffered heavily. BY the
evening OF the 9TH the situation was very
critical The allies narrowly escaped total
defeat. Providentially when things were
at their worst torrentiai rainfall COM
PEELED the Chinese TO retire. On July s. the
rain having abated. the Chinese renewed
the attack. opening fire on Tien-Tsin with
two batteries OF four-inch guns, but the

was carried before dark by the Munster
Fusiiers and Yorkshire Light Infantry.
This morning the attack was continued,
and by noon the town was in our posses
sion and the enemy was in full retreat
Our casualties were four officers and thir-
ty-two men of the MINISTERS wounded; one
missing; Captains Macpherson and Weakes
and Lieutenant Conway severely and Lieu
tenant Boyd-Rochefort. Scottish Rifles,

that but for the accurate practice of the
Thirty-eighth Royal Artillery and the
Fourth City Imperial batteries the casual
ties would have been many more.
"Baden-Powell reached Rustenburg dur
ing the evening of July without opposi-
ton. He found all quiet there and public
confidence satisfactory, thanks to the
prompt and bold grasp of the situation
taken by Major HanburyTracy. The dis
trict west of this is somewhat unsettled,
owing to the small force which attacked
Rustenburg being still in that neighbor-
hood. Measures are being taken to meet
this.
Further information regarding the cap
ture of Bethlehem has now been received
from Clements. He states that the coun-
try there is broken and difficult. Conse-
quently his and Paget's cavalry were un-
able TO make any wide turning movement.
Clements attacked one position while Pa
get attacked another. The position assailed
by Clements was gallantly captured by the
Royal Irish. who captured gun of the
Seventy-seyenth Battery lost at Stormberg.
The list of casualties has not yet been re-

WASHINGTON, July lot is learned
that the announcement from Lourenzo

judgment of the department, in such a re-
