Paris, Feb. 1O.-The foreign Office
discrcdits the reports from Tien Tsin,
yesterday, of the French occupation of
Shanhaikwan Con the Gulf of Lieo-

months ago without definite results,
and the officials believed that the re-
ported arrival Of the French troops
there arose from the shifting of the
small garrison detachments. The Off
Gals add there certainly can be no sig

forts vacated by the Russians.
