BUTLER AND DUNCAN ARE ON THE SCENE American and British Generals Present—Chang’s Troops to Remain in Peking. Tientsin, June 5 (By A. P.).—Scenes reminiscent of the Boxer rising in 1900 were enacted on the British Bund to- night when the first detachment of American marines reached here from Taku. They had arrived at Taku on the transport. Henderson earlier in the day. This is 30 miles down the river. Many of the residents greeted the marines, iricluding not a few who had undergone the Boxer siege. Brig. Gen. Smedley Butler, who had returned from a trip to Peking, where he conferred with the American Minister, inspected the marines when they landed. Most of the marines never had left the ship since their embarkation in America, and were manifestly jubilant when they stepped ashore. They were in high spirits, lustily chanting, “Hail, Hail, the Gang’s All Here,” as the lighter tied up to the wharf. Purther detachments will reach here tomorrow and Tuesday. Maj. Gen. John Duncan, command- ing the British Shanghal defense forces, has arrived to inspect the defenses of Tientsin, after which he will proceed to Peking to consult with the legation.

MAN IN LAUNCH SAVES TWO CLINGING 10 CANOE Din on Bridge From Horns of}: Automobiles Directs At- tention to Youths. OVERTURNED IN SQUALL Clinging to thet capsized canoe in the Potomac River between the High- way and Railroad bridges shortly before dark yesterday, Lawrence Garver, 18 years old, 415 Shepherd street north- west, and Elmer B. Holland, 19 years old, 7707 Thirteenth street northwest, were rescued by Hartwell Balcom, of the Corifithian Yacht Club. The canoe was overturned in the middle of the river by choppy waters’ and a stiff breeze. H. E. Tibbett and Herbert Taylor, bridge tenders on the Highway Bridge discovered the plight of the youths. Blowing their traffic whistles they stopped more than a hunh- dred automobiles crossing the ‘bridge. When the motorists saw’ the over- turned canoe they began blowing the horns on their, machines. Balcolm, who resides at 1526 Seventeenth street northwest, was piloting his launch up- the river, when his attention’ was at- tmacted by the din on the bridge. Spectators lining the bridge railing pointed to the canoe, and Balcolm turned his launch in that direction. When he helped the young men into his boat they were almost exhausted. They were taken to the Yacht Club, where their clothing was dried, after they had been wrapped in blankets and sent home. Neither suffered any ill ef- fects from the. wetting.

CRISIS HELD LIKELY IN RECEN’ DISPUTE Controversy With Italy Also Was Centered at Scene of Present Rupture. Belgrade, Jugoslavia, June 5 (By A. P.).— Diplomatic relations with Albania were broken last night, it is learned from a most reliable source. The Jugosla charge d'affaires, it was learned, with the entire legation staff, left Tirana last night for Durazzo by way of Gpalato. ~- The break, it was reported, was due to the failure of the Albanian govern- ment to accept conditions set forth by Jugoslavia demanding the release of an attache in Tirana, of the Jugoslav legation, who was recently arrested by the Albanian authorities. Break Long Threatened. A break between Albania and Jugo- slavia has been threatened for some time. The, latest problem, which is given in Belgrade dispatches as the cause of the break, was the arrest of M. Gjourachkovitch, an attache of the Jugoslav legation at Tirana, on a charge of espionage. The Jugoslav government protested the arrest.of the man on the ground that he was entitled to diplo- matic imniunity, “but the Albanian government contended that he was an FAlbanian citizen and net. entitled to immunity. .«. On June 3 Belgrade dispatches said that the Jugoslav government had: in- structed its charge d'affaires at Tirana to leave the Albanian capital with his staff unless the imprisoned attache were released. A Zagreb dispatch of that same date said that Albania had demanded that Jugoslavia retract al- leged undiplomatic language as a pre- liminary to the release of the attache. Albania also has been the center of controversy between Jugoslavia and Italy, a controversy that came to a head with the signing of the treaty of Tirana between Italy and Albania. Italy charged that Jugoslavia was encouraging revolts in Albanie and was massing rtoops on the border, but this — acute aspect when the powers coun- seled moderation. The matter, “how- ever, has been simmering ever since.

The intercepted radio messafe said that the Columbia circled the Maure- tania 150 féet above the ship and then flew off to the east. Baggage is Delayed. Lindbergh's luck came near to failing him yesterday, but turned up in- the end, though causing him many anxious moments. There was considerable delay about his precious baggage, which falled ‘to arrive from Paris on.time. The bag! gage consisted of many gifts contain in great packing cases, marked “fragile,” boxes, suitcases, new leather bags/and bundles of many kinds and sizes. The |. baggage was shipped from Paris by train, but did not reach Cherbourg in time, and was brought to the Memphis by a fast launch from the U. 8. De- stroyer Breck. Capt. Lindbergh and Admiral Bur- rage heaved sighs of relief when it ap- peared, and the moment it was aboard, the “let’s go” order was given, and the Memphis slipped the harbor buoy. Then for the first time the homeward bound pennant was unfurled. It contained 34 stars, one foreach of the 34 of- ficers, and in length measured 242 feet, or half a foot for each of the 484 men.
