The Bombardment of Foo Chow. |

Lonoon, Aug. 27. | A despatch of to day from Shanghai to | Reuter’s Telegraph Agency, says:—'*The | French loss in the bombardment of! Foo Chow was seven killed and fourteen | /}wounded. The Chinese loss is 1,000 killed | and %,000 wounded. The Chinese man- _of-war Yang Wu was exploded by a torpedo | after it had fired a broadside at a French | torpedo boat. The boiler of the latter was | _exploded by a granade thrown from the | Yang Wu, a'ter which the boat was sunk by the Volta to prevent being captured by the Chinese. The French expected to occupy the heights commanding Pagoda anchorage. It is reported that there are 75,000 Chinese troops in the vicinity of Foo Chow according to reports received at Sontay, 30,000 Chinese troops have marched to Tonquin, and have already had an en- gagement with the troops. In this battle it is asserted the French were annihilated, while several thousand of the Chinese were killed.
