EUROPEANS.
LONDON, Sept. IA dispatch from Hong Kong
to The Standard gives additional details of the riot
ings at Canton on Monday last. The rioting began
at a. IN. As previously stated tine trouble was
caused by quarrel between some Chinese and q
Portuguese watchman on the quay. During the
latter part of the riot some of the merchants armed
themselves to defend their property. The party
consisted of nine Germans and three Engishmen.
They fired into the mob, killing five Chinese and
w0unding many more. The arrival Of Chinese
troops finally checked the mob.
There are now two British, one French and five
Chinese gunboats moored in the river abreast the
foreign settlement. The Chinese have posted plac.
ards the walls of the city applauding the action
OF the populace, and calling upon them to kill the
Europeans at the next opportunity which presents
itself. The different Consuls at Canton admit that
the situation is very serious and that the future Of
the European colony is gloomy in the extreme.
There is almost open war between the native and
foreign elements, and it will be necessary to have
men-of- war in the harbor for long time to come
as measure of protection.
The houses burned by the mob include ten Eng
lish, one American, two German and one French.
The CoEsuls have forwarded to the Viceroy an
identical note, holding him answerable for the de-
strucion Of the property because he failed prompt
