Tientsin, June 21. Much to the relief of their menfolk, about 80 foreign women, and children, representing the first batch io leave Tientsin since the blockade of the foreign areas began, proceeded down-river today aboard the Jardine steamer Siangwo.
Arriving at Tangku, the party will transfer to the Jardine steamer Wingsang, and the B. & S. ship Shengking, for passage to Chinwangtao.
The Siangwo was not hailed at the D.K.K. Wharf, which is one of the inspection posts on the river, and wirelessed that she had arrived safely at Tongku.
By special arrangement, this party has been sent away to the-pleasanter atmosphere of sandy beaches on steamers, in order to save them difficulty and possible unpleasantness which might accompany a train journey.
