PEKING, July 28. (Correspondence

of The Associated Press.) Altnougn i fully ten thousand Republican soldiers participated In the bombardment of the headquarters of General Chang 11 sun, the monarchical leader, In Peking, and three thousand of General Chang's troops resisted the onslaught for about ten hours, leB than fifty persons were killed and injured In the fighting. ' Military officers stationed at the legations in Peking are at a loss to explain the small number of casualties in the fighting on July 12. Stray bullets fell practically all over the city and many small shells and shrapnel vere exchanged by the contending armies., , i It is estimated that not less than a million shots were fired in all. The few casualties among the great number of persons exposed to the random firing is undoubtedly due to the fact that both sides were shooting into the air without thought of killing. Shot Into Air. Many foreigners who saw the virtually bloodless battle which resulted

in the overthrow oi uenerai tiiau6 Hsun say both the monarchical troops and the republican forces held their rifles against their hips and shot Into the air. The firing began at 4:30 in the morning on July 12. Chang Hsun bad his headquarters at his home in the imperial city about one mile directly north of the American legation. Chang Hsun's troops were scattered about his headquarters and outside the main gate a machine gun was placed in a great pagoda commanding the gate. A large detachment of Chang Hsun s troops also took refuge in the Temple of Heaven about one mile south of the main city gate. The republican forces first shelled the Temple of Heaven. They then also directed shrapnel Into the imperial city and struck Chang's headquarters with great regularity. Two airplanes flew over the city directing the fire of the big guns, and expert foreign military observers say the direction of the firing was quite expert. Fled to Legation. General Chang Hsun's headquarters became untenable about 10 o'clock in the morning and the general and his staff took refuge in the Dutch legation Up to that time firing had been constant, spent bullets doing much damage to glass in the foreign quarters and forcing the residents to keep

After Chang Hsun had taken refuge

in the Dutch legation, negotiations were begun between the republicans and Chang Hsun's troops. It was not

until 3 o clock in me aiiemuou un . terms were agreed upon. An hour later the firing ceased and normal conditions were resumed In Peking. Chang Hsun's home was fired either by shrapnel or by his own troops and virtually destroyed. The machine gun which Chang Hsun's command had located on the pagoda outside the main gate, kept up a constant fusillade for many hours but little loss was inflicted on the opposing soldiers who were running about the street in large numbers. Two rapid fire guns commanded by the republicans and supposed to direct their fire at the enemy guns in the pagoda by the main gate also kept up a fusillade for many hours but with no apparent effect upon Chang Hsun's gunners in the pagoda.
