DETAILS OF PEKIN HORROR.
Thrilling Stories Tabled to the
London Press.
London, July 16 ?The Shang
hai correspondent of The Daily
Mail says : "I can assert positively
that the Chinese authorities
had the dreadful news from Pekin
a week ago, and that Sheng knew
all the foreigners in Pekin were
dead when he asked the American
consul to cable Washington a
proposal to deliver the foreigners
in safety at Tien Tsin on condi
tion that the allies would suspend
their operations to I he north of
Pekin."
The correspondent adds certain
details of affairs at Pekin after
.June 25. According to his story,
the members of the legations made
daily sorties, sometimes by night,
and so successfully as to compel
the Chinese to retreat from the
immediate vicinity. These ?*e
verses had a disheartening effect
upon the Chinese, and there soon
began to be open signs of disaffec
tion, followed by desertions to
Prince Citing's army, which was
endeavoring to co operate with
the besieged. Ultimately Prince
Tuan decided to make a night attack
in three powerful columns
'?At 0 o'clock on the evening
of July 6," says the correspondent
"fire was opened with artillery
upon the British legations, where
I the foreigners were concentrated.
For two .hours the walls were
! battered with shot and shell and
| huge beaches were made in them.
Then a general advance was ordered,
and the Chinese infantry,
volleying constantly, moved to
ward the gaps. The fire of the
defenders, however, was so accu
rate, and steady that hordes ol
Chinese soldiers and Boxers broke
and tied in the wildest confusion,
leaving large numbers cf dead
and wounded around the legation.
They could not be rallied until
they were out of the rifle range
of the foreigners.
"Then Prince Tuan, making a
desnerate anneal, indnred th*?m
-r ? f I 7
to stand and return to the attack.
Artillery fire was then resumed,
and at the middle watch a second
attack was attempted. But before
the attackers could accomplish
their object they were met by
Prince Ching and Gen Wang Wen
Shao, with their troops, who were
going to the aid of the foreigners.
A desperate battle ensued between
the various forces of
Chinese and Manchus.
Unfortunately, many of Prince
Ching's troops deserted to Prince
Tuan. Prince Ching fell and was
supposed to have been killed,
but, as the search for his body
was unsuccessful, it is now be
lieved that he was only wounded
and was carried olf and Recreted
by his faithful retainers.
"Gen. Wang Wen Shno, al
though gray haired and 70 years
old, valiantly led his troops in
person. He was killed and his
1 force, which was completely out
i numbered, was routed.
^Throughput the night repeated
attacks were made on the legation,
but these wete invariably
repulsed with heavy losses. To
ward the end of the third watch,
about 5 o'clock in the morning,
the allies had practically defeated
the besiegers, who were wavering
and gradually withdrawing. Hut
just then Gen. Tung Fu Siang ar
rived from the vicinity of Tien
Tiin, with a large force of Kan Su
braves. By this time the walls
of the legation had been battered
down and most of the buildings
were in ruins. Many of the allies

liad fallen at their posts, and I
small band that was left tc
refuse in the wrecked biiildin
which i hey endeavored hastily
fortify. Upon them the fire
the Chinese artillery was n
directed. Toward sunrise it \
evident that the ammunition
the allies was running < of, n
at 7 o'clock, as the advances
the Chinese in force failed
draw a response a rush v
determined upon.
"Thus, standing toget her, as I
sun rose, the little reinaini
band, all Europeans, met dej
stubbornly. There was a desp
ate hand to hand encounter. '1
lumnese lost heavily, but as c
man I'ell others advanced, a
finally, overcome by ovorwhel
ing odds, everv one of the Ku
peans remaining was put to I
sword in the most atroci<
manner."
The Shanghai correspondent
The Daily Express on thealle^
authority of couriers, who brouj
the story, gives a very sensatioi
account, lie says :
''Maddened with hunger, af
having been without food
many days, the members ot t
legation and the guards made
sortie 011 the night of June
and killed 200 Chinese in an 1
expected attack. (JenTung K
Siaug, enraged over the loss
so many men, brought up hea
guns, and Prince Tuan gave 1
order that every foreigner 111
{be destroyed, llis words wei
'Destroy every foreign vest
and make China a sealed book
all western Powers.'
"Piince Tuan had previoui
ll I 1 Iiol I >ri ??.?/? i ti
\tiuw* vivv* i urtv x i rit-c v 'in iif; r
supplying I he foreigners w
ammunition. lie, therefore,
dered Gen. Tung Full Siang
fire on Prince Ching's troops, a
it is reported that Chiug v
killed or seriously wounded.
"In the final attempt to <
their way through, the legation
formed a square with the wore
and children in the centre. Wli
the Boxers realized that tl
were being attacked they beca
like wild beasts and shot e*
other with revolvers. Ilea
guns bombarded all night in
the buildings were demolisl
and in flames. Many foreign
were roasted in the ruins. '1
Hoxers rushed upon them 11
hacked and stabbed both dt
and wounded, cutting off th
heads and carrying them throi;
the streets on their rifles, sho
ing fiercely. They then attact
the native Christian quart*
massacred all who refused to j
them, outraged the women a
brained the children, llundn
ot mission buildings were hurt
to the ground.''
The correspondent adds : "
