Al EW CHUANG. April 1l.--An official
IN explanation was issued today of
the firing OF guns from the forts
here last night. which caused q GER
tain amount Of excitement and the
killing Of two Chnese. 1t appears
from the official statement that owing
10 the fact that the officers of the gar
rison did not understand the system
of customs flash signals in use at the
mouth OF the river for the purpose OF
signaling the depth Of the water on
the bar, so as 10 enable ships to put
- sea, fire was opened last night at
some pilot boats and outward bound
merchantmen. These vessels were
sighted by the forts some time after
midnight and at 1890 the artillery
opened fire on the vessels. twenty-fOur
shots being fired. including projectiles
from large guns.
The effect of the fire had not been
reported up to noon today. but the fir
ing caused excitement among the
troops, during which a sentry fired on
and killed two Chinese opposite the
foreign settlement and three members
of the forts. The Chinese had become
alarmed a the firing and were endeav-
oring to cross the river.
Tn view of the reports received here
Of Japanese activity i'm Korea and of
the arrival of japanese trooDs on the
Yalu river. it is understood that the
troops Of the garrison had been fully
warned that il was possible the Japan
csc would make an attack on this
place. and the citizens. on hearing the
firing, naturally supposed that the at
tempt was being made last night.
