But a second glance showed that the | rescued were pale and thin. They looked like a company of invalids. Every part | of the inclosuie testified to their tragic | experiences. There was a plat of new ( graves headed with wooden crosses, in- cluding the graves of five children. 'The | second secretary’s house was the hospital, | =nd it was flled with wounded.

The Chinese are said to admit that they | lost 3000 killed during the siege. } The foreigners did not waste their am- munition, shooting only when a target was in evidence. The Chinese method, o the other hand, was a continuous heav | and indiscriminate fire. The enemy would | advance to the barricades at night, creep- ing up with their arms filled with bricks, and in the morning the foreigners would see a new wall a few feet closer. Finally the ricades came so close that talking could pe distinctly heard. During the last two nights the Chin. officérs urged their men to charge the fo eigners and exterminate them before the international forces could arrive. The Chinese soldiers replied that they couid not stand the bayonets. On the night be- fore the relief they fired several thousand | rounds, the foreigners replying with two shots ‘only. The Chinese artillery and soldiers in Peking were apparently much inferior to those encountered in the fight- ing at Tientsin, The relifef of Peking was a notable achievement, chiefly for the forced march of four independent armies over a single difficult road and in sickening weather. The opposition offered by the Chinose | awindled steadily each day until the re- lieving columns were in front of Peking. The defense of the city, considering ihe possibilities of the case, was exceedingly | weak. The Japanese are still hammering away at the wall of the northeast section, which has not vet been entered. Probably the Chinese concentrated their forces there, thus giving the Americans and English comparatively easy possession. ‘ ‘Work of Americans. | They advanced along the left canal un- der cover, the Fourteenth Infantry lead- ing, with the Ninth Infantry and the ma- rines following.

The Ameri- | cans marched during the hottest hours of the day, causing great dissatisfaction among officers and men, who had wished to move In the cool of the morning and e\'enin%. like the Japanese and Russians. But with four armies following a single road the more enterprising got the right of way and the others had to follow when they could.
