The situation has already been rendered acute owing to their threatening attitude and internal quarrels. In order to protect British and Chinese lives and property in the area a battalion of British troops was yesterday despatched from Wei Hei-wei for Chin Wang-taim, where they will proceed at once to Tongshan.
