With this object in view the troops at Haiduong will probably be transported by the ganboats and launches to a point up the river Song-cad as near as can be get to Bacninh, where they will disambark and march on alung the course of the river, taking as they proceed the various Fortified villages and pusta on the way There are at least ten of these positions occupied by the Chinces between the Canal des and the point at which the Lang sen road Groanes the Song-cau, and as the

After reaching the Langson goad, General Negrior will probably clana in on Bacninh with his division, and thon if the garrison has not already evacuated the town, the rent tug-of-war will commence, as if their retreat be once ent off the Chi nese troops will probably fight to the death.

It is therefore im- possible to say whether the garrison voluntarily fled to the mountainous dis- trict, or whether they would have pre- ferred retreating directly to the borders of the Chinese Empire. To prevent any embarrassment of the Chinese Government over the question of pro- riding or refusing an asylum for the retreating force on Imperial territory the flying garrison adopted the wise course, and it is quite possible this retreat to Thai Ngayea was a preme ditsited one. If this is so the settlement of tuo Franco-Chinese difficulty is hardly | yet brought within (measurable die- mountainous regions of Tonquia, and topce. Chinese force occupying the
