MARTIAL Law
Follows Riot and Mob
Rule in Shanghai?
Report Says Two Cinnamon Are
Killed and Many Injured
In Disturbance Similar 10 Boxer UPRISING
Two U. S. Cruisers Leave for Scene.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The state de-
partment has news from Shanghai that
serious situation exists there. Two
cablegramS received at the department
over night state that the trouble arose
through Il strike and was increased by
a dispute growing out of some cases
being tried before the consular courts.
Two foreigners have been killed and
many wounded. Navy forces, supposed
iy from the British squadron. which is
there, are guarding the streets.
Police stations have been burned. No
Americans have thus far been injured,
but the official statement was made
that the situation is regarded as seri-
Gus. The American cruisers are now on
their way to Shanghai.
The state departments information of
these events was contained i'll several
dispatches from Shanghai the last of
which was received about O'Clock this
morning, from Consul General Rodgers.
1t is gathered that the moving causes
for the riots were the anti-AmeriCan
boycott and Il general feeling of histil-
ity toward foreigners such as preceded
the Boxer uprising in 1900. Mr.. Rodg-
erS' statement was that all business
was suspended among the Chinese; that
as an incident to the general strike Il
number of foreigners had been assault
ed. Volunteers had been called out, pre-
sumably from the people in the foreign
settlements whose efforts at maintain
ing, order were seconded by English ma
rineS. The warshps in the harbor were
cleared for action. AT the hour of send
ing the first dispatch. probably some
time last night two Chinese had been
killed in the riots and the American
consul general had telegraphed for help
from American naval vessels.
A LATER dispatch from the same source
reported the continuance of the riot
Gus conditions adding that the police
stations had been burned and a num-
Der of people killed. probably about 30,
including some foreigners. No Ameri-
cans, however. had been harmed up to
that moment and the streets We're be-
Zig guarded by the volunteers and the
naval forces. Mr.. Rodgers last word
was that he expected the American
cruiser Baltimore which was yesterday
at Chinkiang. about Il days run from
Shanghai to reach the latter place to-
night.
y later dispatch from Mr. Rodgers
was to the effect that an parts Of the
city of Shanghai had been put under
martial law and that the foreigners
We're all armng. a dispatch received
there from Chefoo stated that all was
quiet i'm that city.

ANOTHER BURNING ACCIDENT.
Mrs. Blanche Lewis Has Exciting Elk.
perience While Lighting a Fire.

Mrs. Blanche Lewis of Wentworth
Court was unpleaSantly reminded Of
the recent burning tragedy in the town
of Winslow as she was attempting to
build a fire with the aid of kerosene
Monday morning. She had sprinkIed
some fine wood with the fluid and an
piled the match, as is usually done,
when the flames swelled to a large
volume, and set fire to her right sleeve.
Mrs. Lewis, in her excitement. ran
to the sink and succeeded in extin-
gushing this fire by the aid of the
pump handle and a cistern full Of wa
ter. Mr.. Lewis hearing her cries for
help, rushed down the stairs and saw
that the fire was rapidly surrounding
her body as her dress had also caught
while she was kneeiing before the fire
ooX OF the stove. Without the help of
OF her husband she would have been
most seriously burned
Ii was a narrow escape and Mrs.
Lewis had not recovered from the ex-
perlences of that few moments, al
though her burns are trivial as com
pared with the effects upon her nerves
