A. Reuter message states that both the commanders at the Tientsin siding await orders from their Governments. Tne Russians state that their orders are to fire if anyone commences work. The English troops in the trenches were originally outnumbered. The Russians are now 20 to 1 in the trenches, which are 45 feet apart. It is semi-oflicially stated at Berlin that Count Von Waldersoo, with the view of ending the spectacle of discord mediated for military reasons and insisted on the withdrawal of even small patrols at the si ling.
