STORY OF A GERMAN OFFICER
Shanghai Factions subdued and the
Chinese and Japanese Rssipents
Warned to Keep Peace.

LONDON, Aug. 5.-The Times tomor-
row will publish a dispatch from
shanghai, stating that Colonel Won
Hanniken, formerly aide de-camp to
Viceroy Ii Hung Chang. who was
among those rescued from the British
steamer Kow Shung, which, while be-
Ing used as a transport for Chinese
troops, was sunk by torpedo from the
Japanese warship Nananiawi, has
given his testimony to the commission
appointed 10 inquire into the facts rela-
tive to the sinking of the vessel.
Colonel Won Hannlken says the
Nananiaw ordered the Kow Chung to
come to anchor, which order was
obeyed. Then the japanese com
mander ordered the transport to hoist
her anchor, get under way and follow
the Japanese vessels. AS soon as the
substance of this order became known
10 the Chinese Troops uu The Kow
Chung they insisted that the order bt
not obeyed, informing the officers that
they preferred death to being captured.

knw Shung. Explained 10 the Japanese
commander That tie kuw Shuug was
B'lhsh vessel aud stated that SHE
had Ieit port before host.lties between
Japan and China had been commenced.
He offered to abandon the voyage aud
return to China. After n little time
the Nananiaw displayed signals read
ing: Abandon the ship" To this
the captain sigualled the reply: II am
positive that the troops Will not permit
me To leave"
When tins signal was read, the Nan.
aniaw withdrew little further from
the Kow Snung and discharged a tor
pedo at the transport. The torpedo
struck the hull of the Kow Shung and
exploded, tearing great rent in ih.
bottom. As the transport was sinking
the Nananiaw fired broadside into
her and half an hour later the Nan.
aniaw lowered an armed boat which
cruised about the place where the
transport had gone down, and fired
upon the men who were struggling in
the water.
Dispatches received at the foreign
office from Shanghai confirm the
Times dispatch as To the testimony
given by Colonel Won Hanniken.
Official advices show that some of the
British officers of the Kow Chung
jumped overheard and were rescued by
boats from the japanese warship.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-There are
differences of opinion among the treas
