TientSin.-RiOting of a serious nature
took place here Saturday night. The
outbreak had been feared, and precau-
tons were taken as far as possible to
protect residents from harm. Between
Q and 10 o'clock the soldiers mutined, set
fire to a number of buildings, and then
began footing from house to house. They
were Joined by the rabble. Shops and
banks in all the important streets were
looted, and some of them were wrecked.
In order to intimidate the ~populace, the
soldiers kept up a continual gun fire. The
rattle of musketry could be heard
throughout the night. Only a few police
remained loyal, and they were outnun'
bered and powerless to suppress the dis
orders.
No fewer than fourteen fires were rag
ing simultaneously in various parts Of
the city. The soldiers broke into the
Pei Yang mint, which was set on fire
The hooters entered the silver stores

making holes in the walls. The mint
was looted Of everything portable and
the ground was strewn with empty cart

An Associated Press correspondent
while proceeding from Peking to Tientsin
witnessed a critical incident at Feng
Tai, which was in the hands of the
mutineers. The train pulled in between
lines of troops of the Somerset regiment,
who were crouching with guns loaded
and bayonets fixed. One hundred yards
away groups of Chinese. soldiers were
sulkily discussing the action of the
Britishers. 1t was explained that the
Chinese had stopped the train and had
threatened not to let any pass.
They were given one hour by the
British commander to vacate their posi-
tions. Just about that time 700 of the
Inniskilling Fusilers arrived and began
to detain a quarter of a mile away.
The Chinese, who numbered 1900, did
not move until the Inniskilling marched
up and took their positions. Then they
scurried away in all directions as the
train continued to Tientsin.
The gentry and officials of the native
city met this morning and confessed to
their inability to cope with the situation.
They sent a deputation to the senior con-
sui, requesting the assistance of the for
eign troops to preserve order.
The total foreign forces nov available
here are, roughly speaking, 700 British,
chiefly of the Indian regiment; 500 Jap
anese, 900 French, ITO Russians and
Germans, and 20 Americans. 1t is be-
llcved it would require a minimum of
1900 men to police the city effectively.
