chief ot staff reports the French .oss
at six men. The Times correspondent
believes that this estimate is un
true. An English pilot was killed daring
the scare Saturday night.' ben the French

scribed as ot the most sickening character.
The Chinese fleet lately on the Mln IUvct
witn the exception ot two ships, was blotted
out No surrender was allowed tha dis
abled and siuklng ships. Their gnus were
silenced, and they were shelled for hours,
romint rAirncvLARs.
SnAxonAL August 25. Of the Chinese
men-of-war which escaped the French bom
bardment at Foo Chow one was stranded
and bad her back broken. The other met
with no mishap. The French recommenced
firing Sunday, directing then- shots against
the pagodas. It is surmised that the object
of the renewed attack Is to entirely .obliter
ate the place. French transports are shell
ing the vlllazes on the heights around tho
arsenal. Admiral Cocrbct opened fire at
two p. a. and the Chinese answered
almost simultaneously. The dock
yard arsenal fired Immediately, bat
with only partial success. The eleven ves
sels forming the Chinese fleet were merely
light river and roast transimrts and were in
reality toys. The French had eight heavily
armed ships, namely, the Volta, Duzay,
Troaln, Dclavine, Aspic, Vlperr, Louis and
Yillars. Several Chinese gunboaii main
tained bravely a desultory fire for about a
quarter of an hour, when the survivors of
their crews leaped overboard. Tha
combat was practically finbhed in seven
minutes. The superiority of the French
artillery mads the contest ot her dis
ables ot the Chinese vessels no fi'ht It
was a massacre. This Is the opinion ot
every spectator. Two eight ton gunboats of
the Chinese fleet fousht well, one sinking
near the English man of war Champion,
while the other was stationed about the
Junks and made a good stand. The French
kept up tho fre on the arsenal 'and neigh
boring buildings, forts, barracks and
villages till two p. m. although the
resistance from the shore batteries eeaed
abont three. Some French and Chinese
ships were engaged In clo-e 1X0x101117 to
English men-of-war. Vigilant and Cham
pion. At six Sunday evening three burn
ing gun boats Coated down the stream, oca
carrying the French colors. Numerous firo
junks blazing In a dangerous manner Im
periled the English men-of-war, but were
fended off. One English bark, was
saved by the En;Iish man-of-war Tho
scenes on the river as the dead and
wounded floated by were terrible. Tho
English saved many wounded. The forts
loner down nave not yet been attacked.
The Times correspondent was the only
nesrspaper representative. lie was on
board the Champion.
rAUts, August 25. It Is hoped that tho
Chinese trouble may be arranged under tho
auspices of Bismarck. It is regarded as a
noteworthy fact that Baron DeCourced, the
French Embassador to Germany, was sum
moned to Paris Fritay and returned to Ber
lin on the same train with LI Fong Pan, the
Chinese Minister. Baron De Courcedwas
overheanl to remark to a member ot th
Chinese legation at the depot: "Let Ul
hope that the Jcurnoy will be favorable tc
each of us."

New Yorx, August 23. Tho following
was received by the German Consul from
Frankfort on the Main: "A great theft of
valuable Austrian Government bonds has
taken place. The list of securities (s on tho
way to you. Have it posted on thiiExchange."
The consulate officers have no further In
formation ot the matter nor have the nank-
rrs who make a specialty of continental se
curities, any information as to the manner
and amomit of the robbery. Those visited
so far say the securities will probably bo
difficult to negotiate.

agent says are Illegally fenced In. The offi
cials in the land office say the practice of Il
legally fencing large tracts ot land and mak
ing fraudulent entries has been greater tho
past year than ever before. They claim
that between five and six millions of acres
arc now Illegally fenced and that several
million of acres are fraudulently entered.
Com plaints from the settlers are being re

land offices here. The JctUcis say cattle
