A despatch from London says' De- tails of the battle at PeiUang on Sun- day between tie European allies and U> Chine** troops credit the Chines* with ikiH and bravery. They were entrenched on both sides) of the Peibo behind work* constructed after tha most in-xlern European methods, fba Chinese, were driven uorosu the river, but in their retreat they destroyed the bridge. The Japanese then worked their way across the river and dklodged the Chiiuwe from their en- tremohment* on tha further aide, but pursuit was impossible, owing to the country being under water. 1 h- task of the allies is one of niurh greater magnitude than at first ap- peared. The Chinese are putting up ai much stronger re.-Litance than .i looked for. and are fortifying their positions with cleverly constructed wurka. The total loss of the allies in Sunday's luttle was between 750 and 1.0<IO men. so th.it any advantage gain- ed was dearly bought. Further ad- Tanoe against the Chinese was delayed owing to inefficient transport. SIUKY OF THE BATTLE. Ttr expudition moved lowly be- eauaa it wa found that the Chinese had placed many mines and torpedonj io the 1'ai Uiveir. The JapiineM in the advance soon atxuck a force of the enemy near Tien Tain and a skirmish fcJluwBd. The Chinese fought well and the Japanene suffered a lima ot twelve men. The Chineae then retired upon PeiUMng. ScouU reported that three large guns and many amaller oaanoo were in place in the Chinea* ^ir^nchmenU at PeiUang. A spy who had gone out in advance of th* allies brought in the information that the Chine** forces consisted of folly 4U 000 men. well armed and utrongly ent:reuchd. THK FINAL RUSH. The Americana and British troop* marched up the wesjt bank ot th river. The Russian ami Ji^ana** moved along the eaat banka. Light draught transport boot*, with sup- plies and artillery, moved slowly up the river between tha columns. Th* weather was ideal and the troop* w*r* in good condition acd high fighting spirits. l'eitang was reached Saturday, and the allie* took position for battl* during th night. Th* attack wa made Sunday at daylight. The resist- ance of the Chinese wa most stub- born. For even hours the result of the buttle woa in doubt. Then the al- lied troops ruahed the Chinese position and th Mongolians were driven front thru- trenches. DE WET CROSSES THE VAAL BIG RUSSIAN ARMY. Series of Blows to Be Inflicted 01 the Chinese.

Now, in those days tigers were a beautiful yel- low color all over, and rery proud lhe.y ware i>f their lovely skins too. The, tigr lived in a deep, dark f'.r- M, which waa full of all sorts of oth- er wild animals, such as leopards, and monkeys and e.|eph m:> and his name was " Old Yellow Eye.' because he Ii id luch beautiful great yellow ey. But dear m- he had a mvt shocking temper, and used to fly into such raged, and rush about roaring so hor- ribjy that all the other beasts were , frightene'l a rnoaJ out of their wit. Now, / m .sorry toay that Old Vel- 'W K\" bad another very bad habit. He used to eat little in<mkeya when be. felt hungry between me.iU. just as you *at a cracker sometimes wne-n you are so very hungry you simply can't witt till dinner time. Now. this waa a vry wicked habit of Oltl i >!- low Eye. worse than the other one, because, although it is very naughty to fly into a passion of tempnr. it is much worse to do something that will bun our neighbours. But Old Yel IMV bad never been told that it was cruel and wrong to eat little monkeyi. au you aee he was not quite so much to blame. Well, on* day be woke up from a long nap in a thicket, feeling very hungry indeed, and, >f course, in was nowhere nar dinner time, for the sun wa< stiii sending his bright, hot spears down through the thick trees of the jungle, and it would not be time for dinner unUJ the sun's sister, the round -nnsjn. wa.s turning all the open forest g-Udea to silver Old Yellow Eye got ap and stretched himself and gave a low growl, and showed all his beau- tiful while teeth which in tiger Lan- guage moint : " Oh bow hungry 1 am! 1 could et a whole elephant.: I tn-n Ac pushed but way out ot the thicket and walked slowly along the path, looking for sommhing to eat. It was OMBTHINQ QLITE NEW- SALADA CEYLON QREEN TEA asxi flavor as Japan, only marc delicious. because he was lying uo them, and the monkeys could not reach them. It wa.-i all doue in a minute and the lit- rkers were gone. 1're-tty s*Mn the dreadful smell and sticky feeling of the paste woke up Old Yellow Eye and then th-re waa u pretty howded. ' He was aimorft wild with rage and fright. Around and airound be flew, trying to get rid of thine awful stripes. He rolled on the trr -und he j,imi>el into the air. but all ti> no purpose, the stripefl were there for good. And all the time the monkeys sat up in the tree* and were glad to see their enemy in such a fix. But after a while Old Yell.>w Eye grew 30 tired tb.it be bad to crawl into bis thicket and go to sleep. And never after that day oould the old tiger catch a m.-nkey, because wherever he went the smell of th* paste went with him. <*o that the mon- keys always knew when he was com- ing and oould get out of his way* And ever tunce Lhat day tigers have worn atripes !
