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.
