Peiping, Jun. 18.-Military authoritiès here con- ceded that the Nationalists have abandoned Tangku, seaport of Tientsin, which puts all of Hopei Province, except Peiping, in Red hands.
Defending troops were reported to have gone aboard Chinese transports and sailed south.

There was no chance of hold! ing the seaport against, any determined Red attack now that Tientsin is gone.
There was no indication of the number of troops that got out and reports on the deploy ment of troops in that area are so old that it is impossible to estimate.
