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.

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.

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.

No mention was made of the trans port Logan, hut it is supposed that it will lie ready to start from Manila on June 21 with the Ninth infantry for Taku as previously predicted by Gen eral MacArthur.

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.
