The Grasshopper was specially ordered to go to Foochow from the Yangtse delta because of its ability to sail up the shallow Min River on which Foochow stands.

The "Telegraph" understands that the bluejackets were landed at Foochow at the request of the British Consul there.

The situation at both Foochow and Wenchow remains quiet. No Britons have yet evacuated Foochow.

H.M.S. Thanet and H.ALS. Scout are still at Swatow, where the position is also unchanged. All British steamers calling at the port are met by H.M.S. Scout, which, if necessary, takes

voyance into the harbour.

Garrison Headquarters at Tientsin made a bombshell announcement that, irres- pective of diplomatic activity, the blockade of the British and French Concessions would not only be con- tinued, but would be intensified as from to-morrow. COMPLETE BLOCKADĖ.

From 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. daily, a rigid curfew will be imposed on both departures and arrivals, and all seven barriers will be completely closed and electrified.

In making the announcement, the spokesman of Garrison Headquarters made it evident that, whatever Japanese diplomats thought, the militarists would place no reliance on negotiations.

NO FAITH IN DIPLOMATS

"We cannot expect much from the Tokyo negotiations," he declared.

"Therefore, our determination to continue our task in Tientsin will not be shaken until our objective is achieved."

The Japanese objective was outlined in a four-point Note issued shortly after the Tientsin blockade commenced.

It claimed the return of the four persona suspected by the Japanese of complicity in the assassination of a pro-Japanese pup- pet last April, the surrender of Chinese silver bullion stored in the British Concession, appointment of Japanese police and "suppression of subversive elements."

LONDON, June 29.-"In the event of further aggression, we are resolved to use at once the whole of our strength in the fulfilment of our pledges to resist it," declared Viscount. Halifax, speaking to-day at Chatham House to the Royal Institute of International Affairs.

Viscount Halifax continued: "We read of the mischievous misrepresen- motives which people in countries holding a tations of our actions and our different international philosophy think fit to make.

"We read them with resentment, knowing they are false, and knowing that they who make them know it too. These things do not pass unnoticed here, nor do provocative insults to our fellow countrymen further afield.
