Tho Boxrr.i moved away from the advancing
marines nnd apparently dispersed Into thu

sleepers burning. The marines, when two
miles In advanco nt tho first train, near
I-ing Fang, suddenly perceived tho Boxers
streaming from a village on their left. It
was estimnted that they numbered 2.000,
some of them helng mounted, nnd they were
trying to get between the marines and tho
train. Most of them wero armed with spcari
aud swords. A few had firearms, which
they handled awkwardly.
"Tho marines retreated, keeping up a
running fight for over a mile and killing he
tween twenty and thirty Uoxers.
"The Boxers pursued the British for some
distance. Then scelns more marines from
tho train coming to their assistance, Major
Johnson's sixteen halted and poured a heavv.
continuous fire Into tho crowd, driving them
across the front of tho reinforcing blue
Jackets, who punished the Boxers severely
with Maxims.
"The Boxers fled and the Europeans fol
lowing up their success cleared out two vll
lages. The total loss of the Boxers is esti
mated at forty killed and wounded. Seven
of their wounded wero nttended by British
surgeons. Tha British losa was nothing.
There la Trouble Ahenil.
"Unless their loss causes the Boxers to
lose heart the international column will have
much trouble before it reaches Pekln. Tho
