TIEN-TSUI'S RELIEF
International Forces Defeat
the Chinese Troops.
More Americans to Be Sent
Into Celestial Empire.
General Adna R. Chaffee Ap-,
pointed to Command—Pro- I
test From the Viceroys.
WASHINGTON, June 20.—The six]
groat viceroys of Cliinn, acting through
the Chinese minister here today, renewed
their efforts to have foreign troops kept
out of China until Li Hung Chang
reaches Peking. The request was a
formal document signed by the six vice
roys, including Li Hung Chang.
The answer of the United States gov
ernment was the same as that to the in
formal request of Minister Wu yesterday
and amounted to a declination.
The war department lias received the
following cablegram from General Mac-
Arthur, dated Manila, June 20.
"Ninth infantry, Colonel Liscum com
manding, sails 27th thoroughly equipped
anil well supplied with everything."
The navy department has received the
following cablegram from Admiral
KeniplT. Taku, June 25:
"Relief force reached Tien-tsin 23d,
loss very small; Peking relief force which
left Tien-tsin June 10, reported ten miles
from Tien-tsin, surrounded; force left
Tien-tsin 24th to render assistance."
The navy department announces that
the cruiser Brooklyn, with Admiral
Itemey aboard, will take .300 marines
from Manila to Taku, stopping at Naga-

saki en route. The gunboat Princeton
has been ordered to Swatow, Amoy and
Kuclmu, thence to Shanghai to install an
electric plant, keeping ever ready for im
luediate active service.
The secretary of state has received a
dispatch from United States Consul John
Fowler at Cheftt, saying:
"Combined forces entered Tien-tsin
2." 1."
The president has assigned General A.
li. Chaffee to the command of the mili
tary forces operating in China. < ieneral
Chaffee was at the war department today
receiving instructions and will leave for
:s.in Francisco in time to sail on the Ist
of July with the Sixth cavalry. This de
tachment sails on the Grant, which has
been ordered to touch at Nagasaki for
further orders. It is probable that the
si.ip will then sail direct for Clicfu with
• leneral Chaffee and the Sixth cavalry.

Tin: RKLIEF OF TIEN-TSIN.
After a day of uncertainty and sus
|u use official information came with a
111s 11 early today concerning the forces
operating at Tien-tsin and those seeking
to break through to Peking. Admiral
f\eiitpl'l"s dispatch and that from Consul
I'ov.ler, at Clicfu, both confirmed the
reports that the combined forces which
have been operating near Tien-tsin en
tered the city on the 23d. The admiral
added the welcome intelligence, "Loss
very small." This is the relief column,
including Major Littleton Waller and
Kid Fnited States marines, which suf
fered a repulse oil their first movement.
Beyond the brief statement of four kill
id and seven wounded nothing hits come
as to the casualties of the first attack,
but the result of the second inurement,
which lias been awaited with deepest
concern, is now cleared up by the ad
miral's report that the force has got
through with very small loss. It re
mains yet to be reported how the relief
column found affairs at Tien-tsin, where,
according to the unofficial reports of last
week, anarchy prevailed and the foreign
quarters were destroyed.
Jlut the admiral's report turned atten
tion in a new direction by the statement
that the Peking relief force is repirted
"ten miles from Tien-tsin, surrounded."
This is the first word of any kind that
has located the party of 2,500 under Vice
Admiral Seymour and including Captain
MeCalla, with about 100 United States
marines. The last heard of tliem was on
June 12—just two weeks ago—when they
were stalled at Langfang. about two
thirds of the way from Tien-tsin to Pe
king, short of supplies nnd water, the
railroad torn up and with a menacing
army of Chinese about them. In Admi
ral KempfT's information it discloses thnt
Admiral Seymour's force has not been
able to get through to Peking, but has
retraced a good part of the distance pre
viously covered and is now back within
'ten miles from Tien-tsin. The whole dis
tance from Tien-tsin to Peking is about
80 miles, and the Seymour expedition
when at Langfang had covered about 55
miles of this distance. It is to succor
this Seymour party that the latest expe-.
dition left Tien-tsin on the 24th inst.,
according to the closing words of Ad
miral KempfFs report.
MINISTERS LOCATED.
Said to Be With Admiral Seymour,
Near Tlen-tsln.
LONDON, June 20.—A dispatch from
the Geman consul at Chefu received in
Berlin announces that the relief column
entered Tien-tsin during the afternoon of
June 23 and started again June 24 to
rescue Vice Admiral Seymour, who, with
the foreign ministers, was said to be oc
cupying a position 12V4 miles from Tien
tsin, where he was surrounded and hard
pressed by a great force of Boxers and
Chinese regulars.
I According to the report of a Chinaman
refugee who has arrived at Shanghai, the
condition of Tien-tsin is horrible. Every
where in the streets are the bodies of
massacred men and women, Americans
as well as all other nationalities. The
Hongkong and German banks, he adds,
were both destroyed early during the
bombardment.
Shanghai also reports that the Ameri
co-Kussiau relief force was so badly am
| buscaded that the forces were obliged to
; abandon several field guns and much am
munition. About 180 Russians and 11
I Americans were killed or wounded.
1 The German gunboat litis and a ltus
! siau torpedo boat destroyer arc patrolling
the Pei-Ho river and raking with ma
! chine guns the native villages on the river
I banks, which were filled with concealed
I "snipers."
A dispatch from Canton says that city
I remains quiet, but the female mission
aries from the outlying districts are com-
I ing iu owing to the warnings of native
| Christians. The missionary hospitals are
j being deserted by the students and serv
ants
Although it Is officially said at Canton
that Li Hung Chang will not goto
Peking, he continues his preparations for
departure.
A telegram from the governor of Kiao-
Chou, dated June 25, which has reached
Berlin, anuouiices that, according to re
ports from Chinese sources, Vice Admiral
Seymour's force has reached Peking.
This is probably merely a reiteration of
the previous reports on tlie same subject.
The War In South Africa
Now Almost Over.
Foreign Military Attaches Re
turning From the Front.
Roberts Apparently Rounding
Up the Remnant of tho
Boers Around Pretoria.
LONDON. June 20.—As Lord Roberts
apparently is carrying out important
combined operations, the slackness of
news from South Africa will probably
continue until they are completed. The
fact that the foreign military attaches
are homeward bound indicates that, in
their opinion, the war is over, lint I In l
reported refusal of Lord Roberts to spare
troops for service iu China seems, if
true, to show the field marshal considers
much work remains to be done.
Large quantities of bar gold, received
by merchants in the western part of the
Transvaal from President Krugcr, osten
sibly in payment of requisitioned goods,
have been seized by the British. If the
genuineness of the accounts can lie prov
ed, the gold will probably lie repaid.
The Boers sharply attacked General
Rumlle's transport near Senckal June
2.'!. but were repulsed.
The official report of the capture of a
convoy of."id wagons, escorted by high
landers. between Rhcuoster and lleil
broii June 4 was only received today.
Lord Roberts reports that the convoy
was surrounded and sent messengers to
the nearest posts asking for assistance,
but re-enforcements were unable to reach
the convoy, and 150 highlanders, iu re
ply to a flag of truce from <ieneral Chris
tian De Wet. surrendered during the
morning of June -1.
A dispatch from Kiuiberley says: "I)r.
Jameson has been elected a member of
the Cape parliament. There was no op
position."
Eighty Hollanders have been lodged iu
jail at Standerton for destroying proper
tj prior to the British occupation. The
wives and children of the Boers are sur
prised that the British do not loot, but
pay for what they get.
The Boers derailed a construction train
near Standerton on June 24. Two train
men were killed and four badly hurt.
A party of Brabant's horse near Fieks
burg saw a camp of khaki clad men and
walked in only to find themselves among
the Boers. The visitors surrendered.
The Lourenco Marques correspondent
of The Times, telegraphing yesterday,
says:
"The Boers are losing a large number
of horses from the cohl and from lack of
food, nnd the survivors are in miserable
condition. The inadequacy of the Boer
commissariat is telling on the burghers."
The Times editorially adopts the sug
gestion of a correspondent that Johannes
burg should be the capital of the Trans
vaal 4,'olony, "because the traditions of
Pretoria are corrupt."

LONDON, June 20. —The fourth eon- [
gress of the Association of Chambers of;
Commerce of the Fnited Kingdom open
ed here Ibis morning. Between .'s<■<• 1
and 4IHI delegates, represent ing Ihe col
onies as well as Great Britain, were |
present. Lord Selltome, honorary pros- 1
ident of t lie association, welcomed the j
delegates. In the course of bis speech be I
announced that real progress had been :
made toward laying a Pacific cable and |
that tenders would lie invited almost im- i
mediately for the beginning of the work. '
Discussing imperial defense. Lord Sel
borue remarked that the whirligig of!
time had strangely inverted the feeling in
relation thereto. A century and a qtiar- j
ter ago 4his question of imperial defense j
was the root of a quarrel with the Amer-i
ican colonies, which finally lost them to i
Great Britain. Today the same ques
tion. he said, is operating more than any;
other in drawing the different parts of the
empire together. The colonies, he added, j
now voluntarily admitted what America
had disputed—namely, that colonies ought {
to contribute to their own defense.
