Following is tbe report of the action
tDAds by Commsoder Wise, of th* Mon
ocacy to Uaar Admiral Kempff :
U. 8. Monocacy,
Tong Ku. China. Juue 17. 1800.
Sir : I nave tbe honor to report upoo
the ocoonances aloe* yesterday noon.
1 attended a meeting of officer* at 0 p.
m. on board tbe Dot bora. 1 was shown
the protocol aod ultimatum aa to lb*
Taka forts. Tbe signatures to lbs
document were autographic and aa
yours wee not appooded I Informed the
senior officer that he would have to
leave tbe Monoeacy outofUieph.nl and
plaoe* for vessels of tbe attacking
forces
2. Th* first guu waa fired at
and with the simultaneous discharge
that followed, two of the shot* passed
over the Monocaoy, although she wee
out of the line of fire betweee the forts
and vessels attacking.
3. Tba lltia did not leave her berth
which was a abort dial soon from mine
until 1:80 aod tbs Jape ossa did not
leave beta during th* bombardment.
4. The lira wu well sustained on
both sides, and although ibells oon
ttooed at lalarralt to pam near me or
buret short or beyond. 1 attributed It
to a wild Briog by the forts. About
S JO I was standing on top of pilot
bouse by the GaUlog. 1 bad mono led
them when I beard a shall approaching
nod Immediately a craeb. The eeeood
cotter hanging at bar davits, a few
below and behind me, had been etruck
by a shell. It catered ber stern, lor*
out tha bottom, and ranging diagonally
acrom the chip, oat after Tall of tha
Stern lean oh, a mashing port forecast
the ladder, and peaaad through the
ship’s aide, lo wbioh It left a clear cot
oral, tiro feet by ten Incites. There
ware many men on tbe forward deek,
and It a tut have gone ae nloaa to come
of them as It did to me. It fortunate
ly oilseed tbe ltaaeb’e davit, aa that
would have caused It to explode.
8. It waa difficult to make oat how
lbs alllae wets faring, bat they were
evidently elating la, is after 8 a. m.
discharge* from guns Ilka GaUlega or
Maxim* wen beard. At 4 o'clock
Utero was a tremendous explosion and
a mam of flame, which attributed to a
magasIno In one of tha forte.
Tnwarde 4 o'clock the bunting of
tbell in my near vicinity increased to
soeb no extent that It occurred to me
that the forte might be directing tome
of tbetr Are on the railroad station, aa
In this Hat country it waa a prominent
mark, and a number of Japaoeae and
Russian troops were encamped around
it. In each cam the Mooocacy would
be la oooJtderabla danger from a Orv
which 1 bad hitherto considered bid
shooting. Acting upon tbe thought
1 at oane oast off everything, letoeaoed
iway from the bank and went two
mile* op Urn river anchoring lathe
Bivt band. Tble move wee made at
4 JO, and S JO tbe Are slackening and ■
Japaoeae Beg floating over one of the
forte, I returned to my berth.
7. Iwae able to render the following
amlMnaee; First, a party of tblrly
!"•" AMron refugees
from tha mission at Taku, who had
fled hurriedly ooooUffeatloc ot tE
boas herd meat. They came aboard
laet night at 8 p. m, and atlll with me
also oasan two officers of H. M. A. Bar
flmr, who had some down from Tient
sin too Into to gst any JBsgliah chip.
As I was coming down river at 8 a. m.
«•» an Bog hah torpedo-boat tewing a
Ohtoaee boat.prim. I had do small
boat to make a Mediae, so I sent the
launch to ran bar line art ore, for
which thanks bav* town retornnfl. I
