The Navy De partment this afternoon gives out this bulletin: "A telegram from Admiral Kempff. dated Che Foo. June 24. says: In ambus cade near Tien Tsln on the first, four of Waller's command killed and seven wounded. Names will be furnished as soon as received. Force of 2003 going to relieve Tien Tsln today. KEMPFF." The Secretary of the Navy has ordered Admiral Bemey with the Brooklyn to so to Taku and assist? the army with what troops the Brooklyn can carry. THE KEWS IN WASHINGTON. Retarded ml Serious Import Prep aration Made Accordingly. WASHINGTON, Juno 21. Admiral KempfTs dispatch, giving the first definite news of the shedding of American blood on Chinese soil, came early this morning, and was turned over to Secretary Long as soon as he arrived at the Department. With Admiral Crownlnshleld, the Secre tary carried the dispatch to the White House, where, on the President's return from church, it was laid before him. The determination thereupon was to order Admiral Remey, in command of the Asi atic squadron, from Manila to Taku, on board the armored cruiser Brooklyn. The Secretary and Admiral Crownlnshleld re turned to the Navy Department, wher the necessary orders wero dispatched to Admiral Remey. The effect of this transfer is to make Taku the headquarters of the Asiatic squadron. The Brooklyn was expected to sail at once, today it possible, as the or ders sent contemplate getting the Admir al on the scene at the earliest moment. The advantage of this as officially stat ed, is not so much in adding the strength of this Brooklyn to the fleet already thero as the fleet is considered by Secretary Long to be quite adequate as it is in allowing the authorities here to deal di rectly with the situation in China In stead of through the circuitous communi cations by way of Manila. If the Brook lyn started today, as expected, it will take her fully a week to reach Taku, as the trip is 2000 miles and typhoons are raging. The determination to carry some of General MacArthurs troops on a flag ship was the emergency of -the situation. The troops are believed to be ready to move, but some delay may be caused In getting on board sufficient supplies for a largo body of men tor a week. Admiral Kempff's report that four Americans were killed and seven wounded in the ambuscade. ofJKaJJer's force caused the gravest concern among ofllcials, but 1 e chief fear was as to the outcome of the second attack, which the Admiral re ported would, begin today. Its results may be decisive, not omy to the im mediate force employed, but in determin ing the fate of the legations and foreign settlements at Tien Tsln, and also wheth er the Issue Is or is not to be war with China. Oregon Already on the Way. Word "reached the Navy Department that the battle-ship Oregon got away from Hong Kong last night, bound for Taku. This is two days ahead of her ex pected start. She took on 164 sailors and marines brought to Hong Kong by the Zaflro. The big ship may now have a chance to repeat her celebrated perform ance "around the Horn," as she Is be ing crowded for a fast run to the scene of action. The distance is about 1500 miles, add if she makes her record time she will be at Taku in six days, about the same time that the Brooklyn will ar rive from Manila. These ships and the Monadnock are the only ones going to China. Admiral Crownlnshleld pronounces as untrue the report that the gunboats Marietta, Princeton and several other ships at Ma nila have been ordered to Taku. There is felt to be no need for fnem, for, with the ships now under orders to sail. Ad miral Remey will have a force which Is considered able to meet any possible re quirement. The Monadnock has a large complement of men, who can be used as a landing party, and it is this rather than her armament which makes her so available at this time. Expensive Preparations In Progress. The war branch of the Government is preparing for any eventuality that may arl8o out of the Chinese situation. It was stated by one of the highest officials of the Army that the scale of preparations is of a magnitude which would both in terest and surprise the public But, ho added, the information would be of even greater Interest and service to any for eign foo which the United States may be called upon to face within the next few weeks or months, and for that reason there is no purpose to make public the full preparations making to meet what ever Issue arrives. All that the officials will say is that both the Army and the Navy, If occasion arises, will give a good account of themselves. Adjutant-General Corbin was at his desk during the morning, and. after go ing over the dispatches, went to the White House. The President was about to start for church, so there was time for only a brief consultation. General Corbin said nothing had been received up to that hour from MacArthur as to the Chinese situation. The preparations, for China General Corbin refused to say any thing about, except that the report of a brigade being ordered there was purely speculative. While the Berlin reports as to the safety of Baron Ketteler and the legation at Pekln appear to dispose of one of the most alarming stories of the crisis. Min ister Conger, at Pekln, is still cut off from communication here, and there is no direct assurance of the safety of the Ministers and legations, nor is thero a word of the relief force. Including the Americans who sought to break through to Pekln. Secrdtary Long returned from an- outing last night, and today resumed charge of affairs. About the firs news that reached bim on his arrival was of the fighting and bloodshed of the American marine forces near Tien Tsln. Monadnock Not to Go. WASHINGTON. June 24. Later In the day the order contemplating the sending of tho monitor Monadnock to Taku was countermanded. Admiral Remey reported that the vessel had been stripped of her officers, presumably for duties on the other vessels, and for this and other rea sons it was not deemed ad Isable to send her. Chief among thea reasons is the fact tfcatthe typhoons now raging in the Bast would make a voyage of such a ship J as -the Menadaock, with her low freeboard, very uncertain. She would have to be towed the greater part of tba distance, and this would delay the arrival In Chi nese waters of any other ship which would b sent with her. Secretary Long said he expected that Admiral Remey. with the flagship Brook lyn, would get array from Manila prompt ly for China, probably tonight. No further newo came .from, Admiral Kempff during the evening. Want Foreign Troop Kept Oh. The Chinese officials, according to ad vices received here, are apprehensive ot the possible effect of the landing" of for eign troops on their territory. Minister Wu's advices show this to be the cas and. theycre using every effort to avoid such action, because of the effect it may toave on the people. Today the Minister received a dispatch from the Viceroys of Hunan, and Hube, central provinces in China., on this subject. The Viceroys bad been In consultation with other bfgh offlcKls of the empire, as a result of which they communicated! witn the Chi nese representatives in this and Euro pean countries, directing them to request tbe goveromeata interested not to send NICHOLAS II, EJlPEROtt fltr'th- tmAne r TMa Tot.. t4Ia. thft government is makng every effort to suppress tSie operations of the Boxers,, because of the ouspldona and excitement which such steps would cause among the natives. The cablegrams aald the au thorities fear the consequences of tho introduction of theaj large bodies of for eign eoldlers, and hope that it may be stopped. Minister Wu .laid the matter before the Secretary of State, and it will recelvo the attention- of this Gov ernment. Minister Wu characterized) as ridiculous the report that the Empress Dowager had decreed the extermination of all the foreigners in China. "It is not true," he said. "I will bet my life on it. She is too sensible a woman to do such a mad and! foolish thing as that." Juut now there appeara to be a lack of information among the foreign em; bafislcs and legations in Washington as to affairs in China. Their home govern ments, like our own. are without news of a definite character from Pekln, and the 1 ofllcials hero are almost entirely depend ent on tho newspapers for what they may learn respecting affairs in the East. Sixth Caiafry 3Iay Go to China. The Sixth Cavalry, whioh will sail from San Francisco shortly, will not go di rectly to Manila, but will be taken to Nagasaki, where orders will be sant based on the developments in the Chinese altua tion. Says Catholics Caused the Trouble. NEW YORK, Juno 24. Rev. Isaac T. Headland, professor of mental and moral philosophy in the Pekln University, deliv ered an address tonight at the Union Methodist Episcopal Church, on the sit uation in China. Professor Headland said that tha present trouble began about a year ago. In sections remote from European influence, village hoodlums be gan in the first place to persecute the native Roman Catholics. The Catholics appointed priests who were learned in law to look after the converts' Interests whenever they got Into trouble with the courts. The result was that the Roman Catholic converts got the better of their antagonists In litigation so often that great Jealousy was caused. The move ment extended so that there were often pitched battles between the Boxers and the Catholics, and as the latter had mod ern weapons, sometimes as many as eight of 10 Boxers were killed. The movement, however, spread so as to Include all Christians and finally all foreigners. John Barrett on the Situation. CINCINNATI, June 24. Hon. John Barrett, ex-Mlnister to Slam, was here today. Before leaving for Cleveland, he said: "In restoring peace in China the United States should be the principal influence In the future and the fate of China. It is an American influence only that can successfully relieve this problem arid keep" China from an impending break-up. America must stand for the Integrity of the Chinese Empire, for we have every thing to lose and nothing to gain by her partition among the European powers. If America allows China to be divided, the expansion of our commerce and the extent of our moral Influence will be ab solutely limited by the attitude and pol- r ley of European nations. Another inter esting point is this: The United States Is the only power whose leadership and dic tation of policy Russia -would accept." Gcrmnny Not Opposed tb Rnnsla. BERLIN, June 24. An unfavorable im pression is caused here by the attempts of the Russian press to create distrust over Germany in connection with the Chinese question. Inspired German or gans insist that Berlin does not oppose the plans of St. Petersburg in the Chi nese Empire.' and that the future will clearly demonstrate Germany's perfect accord with Rossis, In Asia. ' " i. 1 -- INCREASE OP PERIL The Handful of Foreigners No Match for Chinese. HAY REQUIRE 100.000 SOLDIERS Rasslaas and Japanese Take a Lead Ins: Part All Northern China Said to Be Ablaze. LONDON, June 25, S A. M. The posi tion of the international forces in the section of Northern China where 1000 men are striving to keep a footing and to succor the legations in Pekln appears to increase in peril with every fresh- dis- RULERS TAKING LEADING PARTS IN CHINESE OF RUSSIA Tnifh. 'PWti hast not fwr, Ti-aTr?: from direct for 14 days. The last dispatch was one Imploring aid. Admiral Seymour's column of 2000 was last heard from 12 days ago. At the time it was surrounded midway between Pekin and Tien. Tsin. Possibly now it has reached Pekln. The 3000 Internationals at Tien Tsln were hard pressed and fighting for their lUos Thursday, and a relieving force of lea3 than 1000 had been beaten back to Taku Friday. Observers on the spot think tfeat 100,000 men would not be too many to grasp China firmly. The Admiralty has received the follow ing from the British: Rear-Admlral at Taku: "Cho Foo, June 23. Only one runner has got through from Tlcn Tsln for five days. No information could be obtained except that the- foreign settlement had been al most entirely destroyed, and that our peo ple were fighting hard. News Is received as this telegram la dispatched that an attempt to relieve Tien Tsln June 23 was repulsed, wrth some loss." The telegram alro soldi: "The allied Admirals are working in perfect accord, with the Russian Vlce Admlral as senior officer." A" press message from Shanghai, dated yesterday at 4 P. M., embodies some later Information. It says: "Official Japanese telegrams conflrm tho reports of a defeat of the allied forces at Tien Tsln. The foreigners there are now placed In a moat desperate situation. The Russian Admiral Hlllebrad yesterday sent a mixed force of 4000 from Taku to attempt the relief of Tien Tsin. Nearly half of the force consisted of Japanese. The remainder was made up of contin gents representing the other nations.

"Among those killed of the relief force Friday was the commander of H. M. S. Barfleur. Tho foreign casualties were seo: "Japan, is making every effort. Her troops are now arriving at Taku In large numbers. The Chinese troops in the Province of Pe Chi Ll Include 60,000 aux iliaries who have been drilled by Rus sian and German officers." Captain Beatty and Lieutenant Wright, British, have been severely wounded at Tien Tain, according to a Shanghai dis patch to tho Daily Express dated Satur day. The Information was brought there by the Britlsn cruiser Orlando from Che Foo. The losses of the Russians have been heavy. It was reported) from Shanghai last evening that the allied forces had blown up the Taku forts, and that every avail able man had been sent to the relief ot Tien Tsln. Two thousand" three hundred Chinese bodies are alleged to have been cremated at Taku, and more than 40,000 Chinese are said to have been killed at Tien Tsin. Chinese- runners who have arrived at Taku report that a foreign force was en gaged several days ago with an over whelming body of Chinese 40 miles west of Tien Tsin. At Shanghai It Is assumed that this force was Admiral Seymour's. The Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Express says: "I learn from, a Mandarin who stealth ily left Pekln June 16, and who succeeded at great hazard in getting clear, that the Boxers are massed around Pekin, ard that more than half of the northern and was'ern portions of the city, including the foreign se.tlement, were aflame when tho Mandarin left. He could tell nothing as to the fate of the foreigners, nor much. as to the general situation, but be had heard that tfco Empress Dowager was preparing to go to the Province of Shan. Si." Chinese Have Modern Gans. A Cbe Foo dispatch to the Daily Mall, dated yesterday, says: "The attack on the Tien Tsin relief force was made by 0,003 Chinese, using: machine guns and modern field pieces. "The allies were wise in retreating. Forwarding detachments in thii manner is suicidal, and the defeats of the for eigners, even though In small force, great ly aids the movement of the Boxers, which Is gaining enormously through the inability of the foreigners to make head way against it. x "Practically the whole of Northern China is ablaze. Hostilities are now con ducted on an. extended scale, due to di rect orders from Pekln. General Yang Shi Koi, Governor of Shan Tung, com mands 11,000 foreign drilled troops, or .ganlzed to a high pitch, of excellence and equipped with. Mausers. It was In the plans that these troops should go to Taku, but the seizure of the forts was effected before they could get there." Some of the special dispatches from I Shanghai describe the great southern TROUBLE MUTSUHITO, MIICADO OF JAPAN provinces of China as still quiet, but others assert that the news from the north Is exciting the southerners to a dangerous beight of feeling, and that millions may rise any day. .. United States Ambassador Choate, in his long conference with Lord Salisbury Saturday, is understood! to have said that the Governments of the United States and Great Britain are generally In agreement as to -their -views regarding the Chinese situation, and the two governments will probably be foundi following the sanie broad lines of policy in the far East. Mr. Choate communicated- with Wash ington after the interview. DISPATCHES TO LONDON PAPERS. No Whisper of Spoliation Situation at the Front. LONDON, June 25. The Times, review ing tne situation today editorially says: "There is no whisper In favor ot the partition or spoliation of China in this country or In the United States, but we feel very, very strongly that the time has come 'for the Introduction of those prac tical reforms wtiich Mr. Choate, in his recent letter to Lord. Salisbury declared to be desirable." A duspatjch from Shangfaal darted yester day, says: "Shoes' eays he (has news from Pekin by courier to Shan Tung that the foreign Ministers In Pekin are demanding their paEEports, and that the Tsung li Yaxnun is disposed to comply with their requests." If ttiis news be true it would Imply the correctness of tho reports of the arrival ot Admiral Seymour at Pekln. The Shanghai correspondent of tihe Times says: "Sheng, director of telegraphs, declares that the information was received to day (Friday) to the effect that the fo elgners In: Pekin were safe on Wednesday, June 20, but tjhot all the legations hod been burned except the British, Austrian and BelglanL" At Canton the Boxera are posting In flammatory placards of which the follow ing Is a sample: "Kill all Germans, French, Americans and EngtHsh. To have peace prevail In the hearts of the peopJe all foreigners should be driven out. This end can be at tained in a few days i we unite our strength." ATTITUDE OF THE POWERS. Entirely Humane and Pacific Chi nese Were Underestimated. LONDON, June 25. Shanghai is quiet, but there are fears of a rising. The ac tion of the Consuls In asking for the de parture ot the six Chinese cruisers was objected to by the senior naval officer, who informed them that he had at hH disposal a force sufficient to compel them to leave if they objected to the presence of the fleet. The Chinese cruisers are heavier armed than the vessels of the al lies, among whose six vessels are the United State gunboat Castlne. The powers are said to have fatally un derestimated the numbers, desperation and armament ot the Chinese, who for three years have been accumulating ri fles at the rate of 20,000 a month. The question here Is what are the powers go ing to do. Japan Is preparing to trans ship this week 10,000 additional troops; Russia Is sending down from Vladlvo stock all her available forces, estimated at from 8000 to 000 men. although recent event have shown that the number of Russians on the Pacific coast has been overestimated. The Indian Council held a special meeting at Simla yesterday and considered tho feasibility of sending more troops. Russia, according to a Che Foo corre spondent, has landed a force of Cossacks at Pel Tal Ho, and another at Shan Hai Kwan, to intercept the Chinese troops marching through Manchuria.

MI General MacArthur has given a formal answer to the Filipino leaders who last Thurs day submitted to him peace proposals that had been approved earlier in tho day by a meeting of representative insurgents. In his reply he assured them that all personal rights under the United States Constitution excepting trial by Jury and the right to bear arms would be guar anteed them. The promoters of the peace move ment are now engaged in reconstruct ing the draft of the seven clauses sub mltted to General MacArthur in such &v way as to render it acceptable to bottt sides.

That portion of the Forty-third Infan try which formerly garrisoned the Isl and of Samar will proceed to the Island of Leyte, giving the garrison there the needed reinforcements. The battalion ot the Twenty-ninth Infantry which was sent yesterday to Samar will act as tha garrison there. LENIENT "WITH INSURGENTS. Full Penalty Against Those Who Kin American Sympathizers.

" " Gabriel Cayaban, the president of & Pueblo in Hangalnan, has been convicted of conspiracy asoilnst tine Government, and sentenced to five years imprisonment with a fine of S3CO0. . Before leaving Manila, General Otis re vlewed the findings of the commissions whioh had eentsrjoed several F&ip'nos to death for guerrilla operations. The rulo which he followed in all these cases, was to approve ttve death sentence upon guer rillas who, had attacked other Filipinos for supporting the Americans, and to re duce to lcig imprisonment th penalty against those who had ambusbed Ameri can soldiers.

The represen tation which Mr. Griscom made to the Porte respecting payment of the Ameri can indemnity claims was written here, and consists of a strong presentation or the case and an urgent request for an early payment of the claims. It was not an ultimatum, since it contained no al ternative proposition as to our course In case payment is not made. The last pre sentation is In accordance with the de termination of the United States Govern ment to press these claims to a settle ment. The Porte Is Surprised. CONSTANTINOPLE. June 24. LloyO Griscom, United States Charge d' Affaires, today presented a fresh note to the Otto man Government, insisting upon an imme diate reply to the demand of the United States for a settlement of the Indemnity In conrection with the looses of Americans at the time of the Armenian massacres. Although vigorously phrased, the note is not an ultimatum. It is said, however, to be a disagreeable surprise to the Porte, testifying as It does the intention ot tha United States Government to pursue this matter of Indemnity to the end.
