i Foreign Forces in China Will Ej Luc’ij to Escape Annihilation. 100.000 MEN NEEDED BY ALLIES C'anrtl I l«m of lnternatli>u*l Kfllef Forre at Tien Tulti Were SOO—General Vann all I Kl Han 1 t.OOU Foreign-Grilled, Maimer-Armed Men. LONDON, junp 25.—The Interna tional forces in the section of north ern China where 10,000 men are striv ing to keep a footing and to succor the legations In Pekin appears to ba In increased peril with every fresh dis patch. Pekin has not been heard from directly for fourteen days. The last dispatch was one Imploring aid Ad miral Seymour's column of 2,000 was Inst heard from twelve days ago. At that time It was surrounded midway between Pekin and Tien Tsln. Possi bly now It has reached Pekin. The 3,000 Internationals at Tien sin were hard pressed and lighting for their lives on Thursday and a reliev ing force of less than a thousand had been beaten back to Tskn Friday. Ob servers on the spot think that 100,(tOO men would not be too many to grasp China firmly. The admiralty has re ceived the following from the British rear admiral at Taku: “CHE FOO. .June 2i! Only one run ner has gotten through from Tien Tsln for five days No Information could be obtained except that the foreign settlement had been almost entirely de stroyed and that our people were fight ing hard. News has been received as this dispatch Is nent that an attempt to relieve Tien Tain on June 11 was repulsed with some loss.” The telegram also said: “The allied admirals are working in perfect accord, with the Russian vice admiral as sen ior officer." A press message from Shanghai, dat ed yesterday at 4 p. m., embodies some later Information. It says: “Official Japanese telegrams eon fiim the reports of a defeat of the al lied forces at Tien Tain. The foreign ers there are now placed in a most des perate situation. Russian Admiral Uil lebramlt yesterday sent a mixed force of 1,000 from Taku to attempt the relief of 'lien Tain. Nearly half of the force consisted of Japanese. The remainder was made up of contingents represent ing the other nations “The guns of the Chinese around Tien Tsin are superior to anything the European force has or Is likely to have for some time. The bombard ment of Tien Tsin continued on I’ri da.v. Bomb shields were hastily erect ed by the foreign troops, largely con structed of wetted piece goods. The food supplies are insufficient and the continued shelliirg is reported to he telling terribly. “Among those killed of the relief force on Friday was the commander of H. M. S. Barfleer. The foreign cas ualties were 300. “Japan is making every effort. Iter troops are now arriving at Taku in laige numbers. The Chinese troops In the province of Chi l,i Include 60.000 auxiliaries who have been drilled by Russian and German officers." Captain Realty and Lieutenant Wright, British, have been severely wounded at Tien Tsin. according to a dispatch from Shanghai to the l»aily Express. '1 ne Information was brought there by the British cruiser Orlando from Che Poo ami was dated Satur day. The losses of the Russians were heavy. “General Vann Shi Hi, governor of Shan-Tung, commands 11.000 foreign drilled troops, organized to a high de gree of excellence and equipped with Mausers. It was in the plans that these troops should go to Taku. hut the seiz ure of the forts was effected before they could get there.’ Some of the special dispatches from Shanghai describe the great southern province of China as still quiet, but others assert tiiat the news from the north is exciting the southerners to a dangerous height of feeling and that millions may rise any day. Shang hai is quiet, hut there are fears of a rising The action of the consuls in asking for the departure of the Six Chinese cruisers was objected to by the senior naval officer, who informed them that he had at his disposal a force sufficient to compel them to leave if they objected to the presence of the tieet. The Chinese cruisers are heaviet armed than the vessels of the allies, among whose six vessels is the Called States gunlsmt Casttne The powers are said to have fatally underestimated the numbers, despera tion amt armament of the Chinese, who for three years have been accu mulating i ities at tlie late of 2U.000 a month.

June 25.—A passen ger train on the Macon branch of the Southern railway ran Into a washout one and a half miles north of McDon ough, Ga., last night and was com pletely wrecked. The wreck caught fire and the entire train, with the ex ception of the sleeper, was destroyed. Kvery person on the train except the | occupants of the Pullman perished, j Not a member of the train crew es caped. Thirty-five persons in all were killed. The train left Macon at 7:10 p. m. and was due at Atlanta at 0:45 last night. McDonough was reached on time. At this point connection is made for Columbus, Ga., and here every night the Columbus train is coupled on ! and hauled through to Atlanta Last j night, however, for the first, time In i many months the Columbus train was reported two hours late on account of a washout on that branch and the Ma con train started out without waiting I for its Columbus connection. Tremendous rains of dally occur j rence for the last two weeks have sw'ollen all streams In this part of the south and several washouts have I been reported on the different roads. Camp's creek, which runs into the Ocmulgee. was out of Its hanks and its waters had spread to all the low lands. About a mile and a half north of McDonough the creek comes some what near the Southern tracks and running alongside it for some distance finally passes away under the road by a heavy stone culvert. A cloudburst broke over that section of the coun try about C o’clock last night and shortly after dark washed out a sec tion of the track nearly lot) feet in length. Into this the swiftly moving train plunged. The storm was still raging and all the car windows were closed. The passengers, secure as they thought from the Inclement weath er. went to death without a moment's } warning. I he train, composed of a baggage car, second-class coach, first-class coach and a Pullman, was knocked Into kindling wood by the fall. The wreck caught (Ire a few minutes after the fall and all the coaches were burned except the Piillmsii car Kvery person on the train except the occti|>anls of the Pullman car per I ished in the disaster. There was no escape, as the heavy Pullman car weighted down the others and the few alive in the sleeper were unable to rentier assistance to their fellow pas sengers. For a brief time there v.as silence. Then the occupants of the Pullman re covered front the bewilderment and after hard work managed to get out of their car and found themselves on the track in the pouring rain. The extent of the capacity was quickly ap preciated. The tlames were seen com ing from that part >f the wreckage not covered by the water. As the train begun to go to pieces under the destructive work of both flames and flood human bodies floated out from the mass and were carried down stream by the swift current. The storm did not abate in fury. Flashes of lightning added to the steady glow of th" burning train and lit up the scene with fearful distinctness. Flagman Quinn, who was one of the first to get out, at once started for the nearest telegraph station Making his way as rapidly as possible in the face of (lie blinding storm, he stumbled into the office at McDonough and aftei telling the night operator of the wreck fell fainting to the floor. Word was quickly Rent to both Atlanta and Ma con, but no assistance was to he had. except in the latter city, and the wash out prevented the arrival of any train from Macon. IIGHT UVfS CRl'SMD Oil.

Director of Telegraph, Cable* That foreign Minuter* Are Safe. LONDON', June 23.—The silence of Pekin continues unbroken. Four thousand men of the allied forces were having sharp defensive lighting at Tien Tsin Tuesday and Wednesday, with a prospect of being reinforced on Thurs day. This is tl* situation In China as s»t forth iu the British government dispatch. “Eight hundred Americans are tak ing part in tho fighting at Tien Tain,” say the Shanghai correspondent of tho Daily Express in ills cable oi last even ing, and they apparently form a part ot a supplementary force, arriving with Germans and British after the conflict started. It is impossible to estimate the number of the Chinese there, but they had a surprising number of guns '’ The information appears to have been brought tiy the t mi ted o'ates gun boat Nashville to Che Koo and tele graphed thence to Shanghai. Tho Chi nese are deserting Shanghai in large numbers and going into tne interior. Reports from native sources continue to reach Shanghai of anarchy In Pekin. According to these tales ltie streets are Ailed day and night with Boxers, who are wholly beyond the control of the Chinese troops ami who uie working themselves up to a frenzy and clamor ing for the death of all foreigners. I Ik* English consulate at Shanghai is said to have received from influential natives reports of a tragedy In the palace at Pekin, though precisely what It is is not defined. The consulate thinks teat Admiral Seymour, com mander of the interantlonal relief col umn, was misled by information from Pekin, ami consequently underesti mated the difficulties in Ills way and •he Chinese power of resistance with Maxim gens and Mausers, i he consuls at Shanghai still believe the foreign ministers at Pekin safe, although Jap anese reports received at Shanghai al lege that up to June 15, 100 foreigners had been killed in Pekin, The Daily Express says: "We un derstand that Mr. Reginald Thomas secretary of the British embassy In Washington, is to succeed Sir Claude McDonald at Pekin and that the rea son of Hit ('aide's recall is the break down of his health.” A special dispatch from Vienna says: “Id Hung Chang lias wired the vari ous Chinese legations in Europe direct ing them to inform the governments to which they are accredited that he is called to Pekin by the empress to act as Intermediary between China and the powers to negotiate a settlement of the points at issue, and he instructs them to beg the powers to facilitate his mission by declining to send fur ther troops to China. Sheng, director of telegraphs, wires from Shanghai to the Chinese legations in Europe that the foreign legations In Pekin are safe. It is reported that tlie British government will send 1,500 ma rines to Chinh, and possibly, accord* fng *o some of the morning papers. 10.000 of the regulars now with Lord Roberts.

The severance between the Trans vaal and the Orange River colony was completed yesterday, as Lord Roberts said it would be by the arrival of Gen eral lRiller’a advance guard, under Lord Dundonald, at Standerton. Tiic wide knot around the 6.000 or 8.000 men under General Steyn will not con I tract.

President Kruger's principal eondi renderod to General Baden-Powell, are back on their farms und working peacefully. General Baden-Powell rode with only 300 men from Mafeklng and he made the last section of ills ride to Pretoria with only thirty-five. Lord Roberts met him in the outskirts of the town and escorted him to the presidency. tleneral DeWet's farm houses have been burned by the British. General Buller has issued a special order eulo gizing the services of Stratheona's horse. Captain Jones and the brigade from h. M. S. Forte have been ordered back to the ship at the admiral's request. President Kruger.s principal condi tion for immediate peace Is that he be allowed to stay in the country. There are 5,000 British sick and wounded at Pretoria. Mrs. Reitz, wife of the Transvaal stale secretary, and her family, who arrived here enroute for Europe, had so little money that the Dutch consul purchased second class steamship tick ets fur them. MAY MAKE TRIP TO HAVANA. rrucaedlnj;i for Nafly'n Iteinoval to Cubs A if lo Hr Taken. WASHINGTON, June 23.—It is un derstood tlytt the I'nited Slates at torney at New York will take action within tlie next day or two looking to the prompt removal of Neely, the al leged embezzler of Cuban postal funds, to Havana for trial. Judge I .a* combe, before whom the rase will be brought, expects to leave New York on July 2 and it is his wish that the mat ter be disposed of before his departure. Some days ago the government sent to Havana for copies of papers wanted in the case; also for a certified copy of article 401 of the old Bpanish-Cuban laws against the crime of embezzle ment. These papers have beeh re ceived and forwarded to I'nited States Attorney Burnett, who will prosecute the case. There are two indictments against Neely, one for violation of articles 4dl of the Spanish-Cuban laws and the other is under sections 33 to r>? of the Cuban postal code. The former case is said to bo the stronger and it is probable that he will be tried first un i der the indictment for violating arti cle 401. Officials here expect that Nee | ly's counsel rvill take the case to the i’nited Slates supreme court. MORE TROOPS IF NECESSARY. Sayn Hit* (lov«rmiieiit Will Cure for lU Cltl/eni In China. CLEVELAND, June 23.—General Nelson A. Miles, who came here to witness a test of the recently invented McClain ordnance, in an interview re garding the Chinese question, is quot ed as saying: ‘Our government will be prompt to ! act in that matter as soon as the true pituatlon Is learned This country will be equal to the emergency, and when decisive action is taken It will be of such a character as to lie effective. The trouble in China is most serious and the result is most difficult to pre dict. What is likely to result from the uprising is certainly a very serious proposition. "The I'nited States will send enough troops to China to protect the Ameri cans there and American interests. More troops than those already detail ed will lie sent to China speedily if tlie situation demands. The dignity and rights of the government will lie upheld." of 1'iiwlolfict* h*‘|)nrtiii«<nt WASHINGTON.
