Nestergard, the insane man who escaped from us, has returned. He reports harsh treat- ment. We cannot tell what harm or good he has done us by his visit into the enemy's camp. He told Dr. Martin MESSAGE FROM TIENTSIN 147 that he informed the Chinese of our situation in order to save his own life, and that he assured them that they fired too high to do us much damage. The Chinese are building their barricades higher so as to be able to fire down upon us. It makes much work for us, as our barrica...des must go up correspondingly high. A reward of five thousand dollars was offered to any man who would take a message to our coming troops and bring one back from them. The Chinese were seen building a barricade which would give them command of the canal to the city wall. The Italian big gun was fired at the builders. A reply came back and shot our gunner through the hand. With a glass, the Chinese fortifications can be seen from the second story of our office building. The "Chinese officer" reports to Japan's Colonel Shiba that our coming troops are really approaching Peking.
