It occurred at Fietsang, some 12 miles beyond Tien Tsin on Sunday morning and lasted m for seven hours. Tho allied forces succeeded in .dislodgirg the enemy, .though the casualtit s 'are estimated- at 1,200. The Chinese casualties are be lleved to be three to six times greater. , Tbe effects cannot be accurate lv estimated. . The Chinese are ' believed to have retreated to a stronger position at the walled town of Tung Chow where there are great stores of provisions. The flooded lands make it difficult to advance with heavy artillery and the resistance may be very formidable. On the other hand there is some hope that the battle has weakened the power of resistance. Li Hung Chang has informed the consuls that the ministers left Pekin for Tien Tsin under escort on August 3rd. It is not fully credited, however. . The Chinese do not comply with Secretary Hay's demand to open free communications be tween him aild Minister Conger. It soems from dispatches that the attacks on the ministers have ceased and that supplies have been furnished them by the Chi nese who now realize the im mense penalty for any harm done them.
