THE PICUT AT TAKU FORTS, LATEST DETAILS.

LIST OF CASUALTIES,

We are abled to publish a few further particulars of Sunday morning's fight at the

Taku forts:

On Saturday afternoon the commanders of the various warships sent a message to the Tantai commanding the Forts, telling him that the arrivals of large masses of Chinese soldiery who were seen constantly arriving from Shan- haikwan must be stopped on pain of the forts heing bombarded and taken passession of by the forces of the Allied Powers. An immedi ale answer or assurance was demanded.

The Chinese seat an evasive reply in the evening. No further active steps were taken by the Admirals that day or night, until they were suddenly surprised by the unexpected fire from the forts upon their ship an hour after midnight.

Of the gunboats close inshore, the Russian Korets suffered mast, receiving the full fire of one of the batteries at a distance of only three or four hundred yards. It is believed one of the shells caused an explosion amongst her own projectiles, for she lost four officers, twelve nien and 47 wounded in a few minutes.

The German fifis lost three killed and seven wounded.

The French gunboat Zion had one killed,

and one wounded,

The Algerine killed and 3 wounded. One of the new Chinese Armstrong cruisers the Haiyung or Halyer, and four torpedo boats and destroyers were captured,

Cominder Kato of the Japanese gunboat Afage, s'officers of different nationaljes and 40 sailors were killed, and 35 wounded. The latter have been sent to Sasebo per the transport Higo-maru,"

FEARS AT WUHU.

June 16th. The threatened riot has not started yet. There are over 100 soldiers guarding the Catholic Mission and a detachment out on the Alliance bill. The people are much excited and fearful. A placard was put upon the Thotai's Yamen saying they would soon deliver the prisoners, and a brick was thrown over the wall with a letter attached selling the prisoners inside not to fear as help was near and they would soon be released. Will send word to morrow if any further developments.

CHEFOO.

CREDO, Thursday evening, April 14th. The three funneled German cruiser, Kaiser in Augusta had just come into the harbour of Chefoo, and only a few hours before the British ship Pania from Weihaiwei had made her appearance, when our ship, the Lien-sking, appeared upon the scene. The Phenix as I have cabled you, had come at the request of the British Consul. The German Consul would not say that he had caused the Kaiserin Augusha to come down from Tientsin., "She only came down here to get coal and will return to Tientsin this evening," he said.

But what was the trouble in Chefoo?" inquired with reference to the rumor, that the boxers threatened an attack on Chefoo.

THE CHINESE ARTISAN,

China is credited with having invented, and used long ago, many of the processes and arts used and practised in modern titnes. But she left her inventions in much the same condition and has improved on them very little, if as when they were first brought into existance, at all. And the work of the present day generally, has a very good effect, but it Chinese carpenter or builder, looked at

HANKOW,

The German Consul, evidently a very con servative gentleman, was inclined to think that the danger at Chefoo was much exaggerated A few days ago, be said, there came to town a ramor to the effect that a small neighbouring place had been attacked by Chinese soldiers, who had been sent there to suppress any possible, nutbreak on the part of the boxers. It seems here the Consul emphasized that this rumor that the soldiers, so the rumor had it,-and after investigation had proved false-lad done have been guilty of Incendiarism, robberies more harm than the fixers would probably and murders were laid at their door. When this news reached Chefoo, some of the foreign gentlemen who have money to lose get very nervous and pressed the British Consul so hard, that he finally decided to call on Wei-hai-wei authorities themselves considered the situation for protection. At the same time the Chinese serious enough to call in a whole Chinese regi- ment for the protection of the Custom house and the bank. There were also four Chinese men-of-war in port, but the Genuan.
