Earlier reports - from the same sources describe the condition of the British ‘leoation as: something awful, It is said that the rooms of the legation were filled with sick and wounded, the killed lying un- buried in heaps. It is to be expected that many of the members: and ‘ officials. of the tsung li yamen perished’ when the German guard, enraged by the mur- der of Baron von Ketteler, the Ger- man ambassador, set fire. to the building. That the foreigners at the Chi- nese capital had been abandoned to the same horrible fate seems no longer open to doubt, in the light of messages received by the Associat- ed Press from Taku this morning announcing the decision of the ad- mirals regarding the hopelessness of further attempts to relieve Pekin under thé circumstancés. 3 Shelling the British Legation Shanghai, July 4.—A message from Sir Robert Hart, the inspector general of customs, dated Pekin, June 25, reiterated that the situation was very desperate. The Chinese troops were shelling the British legation, where all the members of the diplomatic body had congre- gated. Anti-Foreign Crusade Decreed.

London, "July 4.—A_ dispatch from Taku, dated Saturday June 30 and Chefoo Tuesday July 2, says that the British and Russian admir- als, ata court of war held on June 30, decided that it was impossible to attempt to relieve Pekin without greatly increased forces. They sible to hold Tien Tsin, In the event of this not proving feasible, they would endeavor to retain pos- session of Taku, Great Chinese Army Advancing One hundred and forty thousand imperial troops are stationed be- tween Pekin and Tien Tsin, The total of the allied forces which ‘can be concentrated at ‘the present barely numbers 20,000, Itis_ re- ported that General Niep Si Chang is advancing fur an attack on Tien Tsin with 90,000 troops. Another report has been received at‘ Taku to the effect that the German guards rescued the body of Baron von Ket- teler, the late German minister to China, after he had been murdered by the Chinese. 4 Hot Fighting at Tuku Taku, June 29, via Shanghai, July 3, and London, July 4.—A re- connoitring party under Lieutenant Keyes, of the torpedo boat Fame, captured and destroyed the new city and the poit, 12 miles from Taku, June 28. There was little or no opposition. Two blue jackets were ‘injured by an explosion and ‘many Chinese were killed. The river is practically clear from Taku to Tren Tsin with the. excep- tion of a few sunken tow boats and lighters, : Allles Capture the Arsenal In the second attack upon the east arsenal-on June 27 the Russians re- tired for reinforcements. A force of British, one company of Germans and 30 Americans then engaged the enemy, who, with tour guns, made a determined resistance until the whole-allied force supported the ar- tillery. The allies advanced and ‘stormed the west “end of the arse- nal. Fifty Chinese were killed. The remainder retired. Lack of cavalry prevented the capture of the whole force. Flank Attack Driven Back As soon as the allies had cap- tured the arsenal, 1500 imperial troops made a flank attack from the city: The British and Russian guns drove them back. The British cas- ualties numbered five killed and 21 wounded. The Americans had only one wounded, while the Russians had 17 killed and wounded. GERMANY AS A SEA POWER Emperor Wiiiam Says the Ocean In to tler ‘By Associated Press. Berlin, July 4.—At a banquet at Wilhelmshaven of the officers of a club yesterday, subsequent to the launching of the warship Wittels- bacts, Emperor William made some emphatic declarations.upon the sub- ject of Germany as a sea power, as- -serting,: that ‘the ocean was indispen- sable to Germany’s greatness and that it hnd been demonstrated that no grent decision could ever be reached in respect to.the sea with- out: consulting Germany and the German’ emperor. © + “The German people,” said he, “did not conquer and shed blood 3c years ago’ in’ order to’ be thrust aside when great foreign problems are being settled. If that had hap- pened then, the position of the Ger- man as a world power would have been at an end. — I am not inclined to allow matters to reach sich a pass. It is the emperor's duty and highest privilege to.employ suitable and even the ‘sharpest: methods to prevent it.” The German emperor expressed t as his conviction that, in this mat- ter, the princes of Germany and the entire people were closely arrayed behir.d him.

Carpen- ters and decorators have been busy the past few weeks. The building has been extended ard several rooms for family parties have been added. Every possible convenience and comfort for patrons have been provided. All the boxes in the dining room proper are being re- moved and the change will add xreatly to the appearance of the roam.
