Gen. Chaffee Chosen to Command Oar Forces. ASSURERED BY THE PRESIDENT THAT HE SHOULD HAVE ALL THE FORCE NECESSARY TO RE LIEVE THE IMPERILED AMER ICANS AT PEOKTN. London, June 27. An undated de- spatch Mq the Central News says the force which relieved Tien Tsin consist ed of 2,000 men commanded by Major Waller, of the American marines. The Chinese guns were silenced by the artil- ery of the relieving1 force, which then advanced upon the town. The Brit ish, and Americans were first to enter. They were followed by the rest of "the force. The first under fire, the Rus sians, lost four killed and thirty-four wounded. The other nationalities suf fered a trifling-loss. The naval com manders appointed Commander Wise, of the Monocacy, commandant at Tong Ku. . He will superintend the despatch ing- of supply trains to the front. A RUSSIAN PLAN. Ch'efoo, June 26. The officers of the British first-class crui?r Terrible .as sert , that discord exists between the Russians and Anglo-Americans and say they believe the Russians are planning to break the concert and take posses sion of Peldn independently. They as sert that Vice Admiral Seymour's com mand lacked, unison, the foreigners sulking because they were under Brit ish leadership. They bitterly denounce the Russian general's conduct as un civilized and barbarous and charge that the slaughter of peaceful China men at Taku has aroused the otherwise passive natives against the foreigners. CONFIRMED BY FOWLER. Washington, June 26 The secretary of state haes received a despatch from United States Consul JoTin Fowler at Chefoo -saying: "Combined forces entered Tien Tsin 23d. "FOWLER." THREES HUNDRED MARINES. Washington, June 26. The navy de partment announces that the armored cruiser Brooklyn, with Admiral Remey aboard, will take 300 marines from Ma nila to Taku, stopping at Nagasaki en route. The gunboat Princeton has been ordered to Swatow, Amoy and FoochoWj thence to Shanghai, to install an electric plant, keeping" ever ready for immedi ate active service. Washington', June 26. Admiral Kempff's despatch and that from Con sul Fowler at Chefoo both confirmed the reports that the combined forces which have been operating near Tien Tsin en tered the city on the 23d. The admiral added the welcome intelligence, "Loss very small." This is the relief column, including Maj. Littleton Waller and "130 United States marines, which suffered a repulse on their first movement. Be yond the brief statement of four killed and, seven injured nothing has come as to the casualties of this first attack, but the result of the second movement, which has been awaited with deepest concern, is now cleared up by the ad miral's report. It remains yet to be re ported how the relief column found af fairs at Tien Tsin, where, according to the unofficial reports of last week, an archy prevailed and the foreign quar ters were destroyed. SURROUNDED NEAR TTEN TSIN. But the admiral's report turned at tention in a'new'direction by the state ment that the Pekin relief force is re ported ten mjl.es from Tien Tsin sur rounded. This is the first word or any kind that has located the party of 2,500 under Vice Admiral Seymour, includ ing Capt. McCalla, with . 100 United States marines.

X from Tien Tsin to Pekin short of sup plies and water, the railroad torn up and with a '-menacing army of Chinese about them. If Admiral Kempff's in formation is correct it discloses that Seymour's force has not been able to get through to Pekin, but . has re traced a good part of the distance pre viously covered, and is. now back, with in ten miles of Tien Tsin. The whole distance from Tien Tsin to Pekin is about eighty miles, and the Seymour expedition when at Lang Fang had covered about fifty-five miles of this distance. It is to succor the Seymour party that the latest expedition- left Tien Tsin on the 24th inst., according to the closing words of Admiral Kempffe report. CONFUSED ON EXPEDITIONS. There have been so many expeditions that officials themselves are somewhat confused as to the several movements, and it is well to locate the different expeditions as they stand by the latest despatches. The first body of foreign troops, about 450 -in number, and in cluding 55 American marines, which went to Pekin to guard the legations is thought to have got through. The second force of 2,500 under Seymour after making two-thirds of the dis tance is now back ten miles from Tien Tsin according to Admiral Kempff. The first force which went against Tien Tsin, including Maj. Waller's marines, and 400 Russians, was repulsed and the reinforced body entered Tien Tsin on the 23d. On the 24th a relief colmun started to the assistance of the force ten miles from Tien Tsin. These several bodies are widely separated and show the extent of the-present field of action. WANTS TROOPS KEPT OUT. Before Secretary Hay left for the cabinet meeting he had a call from the Chinese minister, Mr. Wu, who re newed in formal manner the earnest request that foreign troops be kept out of China until Li Hung Chang could reach Pekin. This time the request was made in a written document bear ing the signatures of the six viceroys of China from Canton to Shan Tung, in cluding Li Hung Chang himself. The answer of the United States govern ment stands as final, however, and the viceroys are informed that there can be no abatement of effort to secure the safety of our officials and citizens. Minister Wu looked gloomy on leaving the department. He had no news from Pekin or Tien Tsin. The plans of the war department were somewhat clear ed up today by the announcement that Brigadier General Chaffee, one of the regular army officers who participated in the Cuban campaign, will have com mand of such troops as go to China. He leaves with the Sixth cavalry from San Francisco on July 1. There will be a-."Stop at Nagasaki, and then, if cir cumstances require, the military forces will concentrate at Chefoo, which is ex pected to be the base of military opera tions. NINTH INFANTRY TO SAIL. . The news that the Ninth infantry will sail from Manila tomorrow for Taku was received with pleasure at the war department. Gen. Corbinaid that the regiment will compare favor ably with any similar organization sent by any of the other foreign govern ments in China. The Ninth has been recruited to its fullest possible limit of 1,170 men, and is provided with ample supply of field guns, tents and com plete field equipment. It goes to Chfna prepared- for active field service and is thoroughly equipped in the matter of transportation and subsistence sup plies for a long campaign. The regi ment is commanded by Col. Liscum, one of the bravest and most discreet officers in the army". The trip from Manila to Taku will be made on the transports Logan and Port Albert, the latter carrying . transportation outfit and machine guns. The 'vessels will proceed at theif highest rate of speed and are expected to reach the Chinese port by next Monday or Tuesday. The navy department was informed this afternoon that the gunboat Princeton had sailed from Cavite for Canton. RELIEF FORCE SURROUNDED. Washington, June 26.

London, June 26. As Lord Roberts is apparently, carrying out important combined operations, the slackness of news from South Africa will probably continue until they are completed. The fact thatU the foreign military at taches are homeward bound indicates that, in their opinion, the war is over. But the reported' refusal of Lord Rob eTte to spare troops for service n Cnina seems, i'f true, to show the field marshal considers how much work re mains to be done. Large jquantities of bat gold received by merchants in the western part of the Transvaal from President Kruger, ostensibly in pay ments of requisitions and goods, have been seized , by the British. If the genuineness . pf the accounts can be proved, the gold will probably be re paid. The Boers sharply attacked Gen. Rundle's transports near Senekal, June 23, but were repulsed. The of1 ficial report of the capture of a con voy of fifty wagons escorted by 'High landers between Rhenoster, June 24, was only received today. Lord Rob erta reports that the convoy was sur rounded and sent messengers to the nearest posts asking for assistance, but reinforcements were unalble to reach the convoy and 150 Highlanders iffk reply to a flag of truce from Gen. Christian DeWit, surrendered on the morning of June 4. RUHLIN KNOCKS OUT SHARKEY IN FIFTEENTH A Result That Surprised 6000 Specta tors A Bloody Fight. Cpney Island, June 26. Coached by Former Champion Corbett and displac ing remarkable fighting ability, Ruhlin upset all calculations tonight when he knocked out Sharkey in the fifth round at the Seaside Athletic club. More than six thousand spectators went to the arena expecting to see. Sharkey make a chopping block of Ruhlin. Ruh lin fought Sharkey with beautiful judg ment He, met the sailor's rushes with straight leads. The blows bruised the sailor's face beyond recognition and "so blinded him that he was virtually help less when Ruhlin knocked him down for the first time in the fifteenth round. Five times after that the plucky sailor was floored, but he hung on like grim death and was only beaten when Ref eree White refused to allow the slaugh ter house work to proceed. Sharkey was drenched with blood at the end of the fight, which poured form his mouth and eyes. YELLOW FEVER ABATING No New Cases at Quemados Nor- - Immunes Removed. Havana, June 26. The yellow fever at Quemadoes is abating owing to vig orous measures adopted by Govenor General Lee. N new cases have been reported in four days.

Columbus, Ohio, June 26. The su preme court today practically sounded the death knell of the Toledo centennial project by a decision adverse to the claims of the centennial commission. During the recent session of the legis lature, a bill was introduced providing for the centennial' and appropriating $i,uuu,uuu toward it. Tne bill was amended, cut down and finally defeat ed, but meantime the general appro priation bill had been passed with a provision ror $o0O,U00 for the centennial. After the legislature adjourned, the Toledo committee attempted to claim the half million under the general ap propriation bill. The supreme court was called upon Jo pass on the question whether the general appropriation was sufficient without the special appropri ation act. The court held it was not. and thus the Toledo centennial of 1902 died aborning. DEATHS FROM HEAT. Pittsburg, June 26. Two deaths and four prostrations from heat were re ported today.
