BOTH SIDES RETIRE.
Troops Withdrawn From Disputed
Land at Tien Tsin.

Land at Tien Tsin.
BERLIN, March 25.-The war office
has the following from Count Won
Waldersee:
"The Anglo-Russian dispute at Tien
Tsin has been settled from a military
standpoint in a manner satisfactory
to both parties at conference be-
tween Generals Wogack and Barrow.
Both guards and posts have been
withdrawn and salutes have been ex-
changed. The British declare that no
offense to the Russian flag was in
tended and that the allegeu removal
of the Russian boundary marks was
neither by the command nor with the
knowledge of the military authorities.
The work on the disputed land will
not be continued until the govern
ments have reached an agreement as
to its possession or until special un-
derstanding has been attained"
PEKIN, March 25-The troops on
both sides of the disputed land at
Tien Tsin have been withdrawn, and
all danger of a fracas is ended. The
opinion of the British is that the
promptness Oh General Barrow in call
ing up the marines from Taku pre-
vented collision. The British re-
port that prior to the arrival of the
marines sentries were supplied from
the Madras Pioneers, who for several
days were surrounded by crowds of
foreign soldiers mostly French, who
assailed them with all kinds of abuse,
calling them coolies" The Madrasses
were becoming restive when the ma
rines arrived at night and quietly re-
lieved them, and it was only when
daylight appeared that the Russians
discovered the change.
