Tien Tsin is in no danger.
Rescue Party's Report.
The rescue party of Frenchmen and Ger
mans returned from Chang -Hsin-Tien this
afternoon. They confirm the report that
besieged Belgans are now safe at Peking.
They found several thousand Boxers
about the ruins of Lu-Kow-Chia and
Chang -Hsin-Tien stations The bridges
have been damaged and the rolling stock
destroyed. AT both places the damage
done is considerable greater than that at
Fang Tai
The members of the rescue party saw
several parties of Chinese tearing up the
sleepers, and in one case a mandarin was
looking on. They further report that the
missionaries and Others escaped from Pao
Ting Flu in boats.
The imperial railway directory is en-
deavoring to fasten the blame for the
damage at Fang Tai on the foreign en-
ploys, principally the British, who, they
say, should not have left their posts. The
foreigners, however, did not leave until
they saw Lu Kow Chiao station, five
miles away, in flames, and an attack had
actually been made on an engine from
Fank Tai, which was running on the Lll
Han line, in an attempt to rescue the
Belgians.
The foreign men-of-war. have arrived
here. Five Prussian warships and two
Russian gunboats, one French warship,
two British warships and one Italian war;
ship. They are ell landing men.

EARLY ENTRY INTO PRETORIA.
NO prolonged Defense by the Beers
Is Anticipated.

London, May SO-Any prolonged defense
OF Pretoria is considered highly improb-
able, and many military men anticipate
that Gen. French will capture the Trans
vaal capital within day or two by a
sudden and unexpected move.
A dispatch from Mafeking, dated Fri
day, May 25, reports that Gen. Snyman,
the Boer commander, has left his force
and arrived at his farm with a shrapnel
bullet in his foot. The Boer laager,
Roo.graad it Is added, has retired fur
ther into the Transvaal, and Mafeking is
rapidly resuming its normal state.
Mai. Gen Baden-Powell, on the Queens
birthday, gave a dinner TO the officers
of the relief columns. During the course
of speech proposing the Queens health,
the defender Of Mafeking remarked that
he was so elated by the recent occur
rences that he felt that he could drink
the health of Paul Kruger himself, coup
led with that of Cecil Rhodes" adding:
Because Kruger has been the cause
of the present great outburst of imperial
feeling, and Rhodes was the red rag TO
the bull which drew him on"
The war office has communicated 10
the organizers of imperial yeomanry the
governments gratitude for its service.
The war Office adds that the time has
arrived when the Committee of the I'm
perial Yeomanry can safely be released
from 'fts arduous duties, so patriolically
assumed at a time of national emerg
ency."
