The Evacuation of Wenchow

The C. M.S. Poochi has brought all foreigners, thirty-nine in number, from Wenchow. There was no riot.

Chefoo, 15th July. TIENTSIN NATIVE CITY TAKEN, There has just come to hand here official information of an important success at Tientsin. A force consisting of column of British, Americans, and Japanese, and another column of Russians and French, moved out from Tientsin city on Saturday against the native city. They captured it, and also took the fort from which the Chinese have continually harassed the Settlement.

The pressure on the allies is very much relieved therefore.
