From 8.30 p.m. to 6 a.m. nightly, a rigid curfew will be imposed and no persons will be permitted to either enter or leave the Concessions.
All river shipping is being halted below the former German Concession.
The position in Tientsin is described as quiet, but the new restrictions will almost certainly aggravate the food situation, which has steadily deteriorated since the blockade commenced over three weeks, ago.
The Telegraph" is reliably informed that the British au- thorities in Tientsin. Have circularised all shipping companies in Singapore, Hongkong and Shanghai, requesting them not to "accept passengers for Tientsin."
* In Hongkong, passengers are being accepted for Taku Bar, but they are warned abat it will probably be impossible to land and that they must provide return fares.
