About Tein Tsin but Little Injury Il
| Dom.
London, July 5, 2:30 a. m.-The com
manders of the allies in Tien Tsin in
form the correspondents that it Woule
! be suicide to attempt to reach Pekil
with the troops now available, in the
| face of the colossal force of imperial
| troops and Boxers occupying the
| country between Tien Tsin and Pekin.
| SO far from taking the offensive the l2,-
| 900 international troops at Tien Tsin and
| the 5000 Others at Taku and intermed-
late points can barely keep up commun-
ications, fighting incessantly as they
are with overwhelming numbers, using
far more numerous artillery pieces than
the allies.
This telegram has been received:
Shanghai July a, 11:10 a. m, via enc
Foo: 'Tien Tsin city fell between Z and
o'clock on the morning of June 3O
1t is understood that Shanghai un-
doubtedly referred to the native city OF
Tien Tsin from which the Chinese have
been bombarding the foreign quarter;
and the despatch is taken to mean that
the allies are more than holding their
own.
Other advices received by way of
Shanghai aver that the Chinese losses
around Tien Tsin are between 1000 and
5000 according to official estimates.
The correspondent of the Express at
Che Foo, telegraphing Wednesday, says
that Admiral Seymour was wounded
while sitting In house at Tien-Tsin by
Chinese sharpshooters. Official news
received at Che Foo shows that the
Chinese have been guilty Of horrible
cruelty towards the wounded and cap
tured, subjecting them to what Is
known as ling-che, or the slicing pro-
cess Under this hideous rite the bodies
of the fallen have been mutilated. The
Russians are retalating by the whole
sale shooting of natives.
The situation, according to the Ex-
press correspondent, shows signs of
drifting into barbarism and savagery.
Revolving stories are told Of barbaritics
practiced upon japanese and European
prisoners captured on the way to Pekin,
though it vas known before that Ad-
miral Seymour lost any prisoners.
The Chinese troops marching towards
Tien-Tsn, the Chinese say, left behind
them trails of rapine, fire and blood.
Native women We're ravished and chill
dren were cut in two. Direct tidings
from Pekin end with the dispatch sent
by Sir Robert Hart on June 25
