London, June 20.—The Admiralty
Office has received the following mes-
sage from the officer commanding the
British first-class cruiser Endyinion:
"Liu Klan Tau, June 18, Mon'day.-
The 'raku forts opened fire at 1 in:
the morning of June 17, on the ships
of the allied squadrons. After six
hours' engagement the forts were si-
lenced and occupied by the allied for-
ces. Additional men for storming the
forts were sent ashore from the ships
the previous afternoon.
"The 13ritiah ships up the river en-
gaged were the Algerine (gunboat),
Fame (torpedo boat destroyer) and
Whiting (torpedo boat ' destroyer).
The two latter captured four Chinese
torpedo boat clestroyera. The casual-
ties of the Algerine were slight.
These of the storming party and
others are unknown.

forts outside the town. The Viceroy

sured the Consuls that the foreign
