u nunuHuva, Alabama's election came off
Among Attatfkfirs Many Times More f . .
for Chinese-Force oT Defense May be Monday and tho Democratic
Ilroken DiOicnlties andUulcertaiutits ticket was frium-phant'by 50,000
A very important and hard
t
fought battle has occured on the
way to Pekfn 'as has been ex
pectftd. 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.
