Their ammunition appeared to be failing and their quick-firing guns had been silenced for some days before July 15 and they were using their rifies only when hard pressed. The officers said that every foreign bullet kills a Chinaman. The re- ports state that the American and English troops engaged General Ma in a battle on July 10. The reports from Chinese sources are to the effect that all the legations’ forces were killed. Chinamen caught a messen- | ger who was trying to leave the legations on July 10 with the following message: ““To any foreign commander: Make all haste if you intend to save us. We can | hold out but a few da GERMAN JOURNALS CRY “BRITISH INCOMPETENCE” BERLIN, Aug. 3—A German Foreign Office official said to the correspondent of the Associated Press to-day: “If thé al- lied forces advance upon Peking without a chief commander, and if the comman- de: of the different contingents belleve ey can manage in this way, the matter must be left to their discretion and the powers must be satisfied with it. We hope that during the advance all the troops will agree and attempt to do the best possible. Then success is possible, even under such unfavorable conditions. Germany regrets that unavoidable cir- cumstances render it impossible for her to join the Peking expedition with a corps of commensurate size; but Germans, with- out jealousy, will applaud the successes achieved by others.” Most of the German papers discuss the matter in a similar strain, regretting that “British incompetencs advance. Some say that, inasmuch as England is not ready, the others should proceed without her. Several journals, taking a somewhat similar view, say it looks precisely as if the advance without waiting for German reinforcements were undertaken to settle matters before the Germans are on the scene in ater lied forces at Tientsin are no stronger now |to again retards the‘ to-night that the dispatch received by the ‘War Department to-day from Major Gen- eral Chaffce, commanding the American troops in China, was dated Tientsin, July 31. At that time there had been no gen- eral forward movement of the allled | forces, the only action having been a re- connofssance, presumably that reported by Admiral Remey in the dispatch re- | ceived at the Navy Department in which the Japanese lost several killed and had a number wounded. | ———— | DECLINED BY JAPAN. WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—In connection with the statement from London pub- lished this morning that England had | tendered Japan financial assistance in her | NChinese campaign, it can be stated with | authority that this offer was made sev- | | eral weeks and declined by Japan in the same friendly spirit that it was made, Sl : BOMBARDED BY CHINESE. | ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 3.—An officiai | dispatch says Blagovestchensk was lgallfl bombarded Wednesday, August 1. It is added. that the Russlan steamer Selinga, while ‘defending Algun, was serlously damaged by Chinese shells. e | ANTICIPATES CO-OPERATION. | LONDON, Aug. 3—The Parliamentary | Secretary of the Foreign Office, William | 8t. John Broderick, said to-day in the | House of Commons that the Government had no fresh information from China. It | was not true, he said, that operations by | the allies were delayed by the British con- | tingent. On the contrary, the last infor- | mation from Gaselee was to the effect | that the troops were ready and would [ shortly advance and he anticipated the | co-operation of the allies. i TO PROTECT MINISTERS. | CHEFU, Aug. 2 (via Shanghal, Aug. 8).— | Governor Yuan Shi Kal states that he has i received a note from the Tsung li Yamen, | dated July 30, reporting that the Ministers | | at the German legation and others were | | well and thag their relations with the Gov- | ernment were friendly. They were con- ferring, the note said, with a view of ar- mnflu ‘measures to protect the Ministers entsin, | General at Shanghai, M. de Beseaure, in 18th. It is thought that this date was ac- curate, and that while Mr. Conger actu- ally wrote his dispatch on the 17th and put it in cipher ready for transmission at the first opportunity the message did not leave Peking until the following day. The developments have done much to rehabili- tate the Chinese officials in the estimation of some of those who have heretofore been very skeptical as to their integrity in regard to the transmission of these of- ficlal messages. g RS RUSSIANS CAPTURE GUNS. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 3.—General Grodekoft telegraphs from Khabarovosk, August 1, that fourteen Hotchkiss and ten other guns were captured at Hunghun by the Russians, who, storming the fortress on Monday, July 30, drove Chinese be- fore them. MASSACRE OF MISSIONARIES. PARIS, Aug. STOCKTON, Aug. 3.—Dr. Eddy, the| veterinary surgeon, of this city, left to-| day for Nevada, Utah and Montana on a horse-buying trip. He has been employed to purchase 3000 cavalry and light_bat- tery horses for the German army. Some | of the animals will be sent to China ana | some to Africa. The occasion for ship-| ing them to the latter country is not | nown. Owing to the demand for horses, | as a result of the ;jlcem wars, the price | has gone up materially. | PO%TLA D, Or., Aug. 3—The United States Government has chartered the | steamer Thyra, which will take 500 horses | to China from this port. The horses are | now being purchased in this State. The Thyra is now cn her way to San Fran- cisco from China and as soon as her cargo is discharged she will come here.

The bags took the usual course by which the mail is sent uptown to_this station, | They were carried by postoffice employes | to the Sixth-avenue station of the Ele- vated road, where they were placed on the platform to await a certain train. During the wait there was no one to watch them. although the station porter is supposed to keep an eve on them. Tgey were taken up to the Fourteenth- street station and thrown off and there they lay until the men from the sub-sta- tion arrived to take them away. ‘When they were taken to the sub-station it was found that a slit eight inches long had been cut in one of the bags and 3.—The French Consul SAFE AT BRITISH LEGATION.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.—Robert Dunlap, a leading merchant of this city and founder of the Dunlap News Agency, now no longer in existence, died here to-day. CAPE HAYTIEN, Aug. 3.—The passen- gers and mail from the Dutch steamer Prinz Wilhelm JI were taken ashore om the east side of the island of Inagua Tuesday, July 31, having been landed here by the steamer Alps. Several of the crew went ashore on Inagua and others with the passengers on the island of Marigu- ana. It is probable that the most of the wrecked steamer’s cargo will be saved. The passengers lost most of their haggage and suffered great privations on the island of Mariguana before they were taken oOff by the Alps.
