FOREIGN RIOT
AT SHANGHAI
American and German COnSuls
Hurt by Chinese Mob War
ships Ordered There.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. Advices
received at the state department from
Shanghai state that more han thirty
foreigners and Chinese have been killed
and wounded in the riots there. The
rioting was organized by the leaders of
the antiforeign boycott.
The German consul was stoned by
the rioters, II the American vice con-
sui was injured. The foreign warships
are landing men, and the volunteers
have been called out. Chinese shops
have been closed.
The English warships in the river
have landed marines, who, together
with volunteers from the foreign colo
MES. are guarding the streets and pro-
tecting property. The police station and
{; number of other buildings have been
burned.
The American consul general, James
J.. Rodgers. at Shanghai telegraphed to
the commander of the cruiser Balti-
more, which was at Chingkiang, about
a day from Shanghai up the Yangtse
river, to proceed to Shanghai at once
The gunboat Villalobos is with the Bal
tilnore, and presumably both vessels
have arrived at Shanghai by this time.
The English naval commander has
landed marines, and the warships are
cleared for action in east of necessity.
The state department information says
that the situation Is exceedingly seri-
Gus, and the latest dispatch indicates
the riOting still continues.
1t is learned that the moving causes
for the riots were the anti-American
boycott and a general feeling of hos
Utility toward foreigners such as pre-.
ceded the Boxer uprising in 1900.
Mr.. Rodgers stated that all business
Was suspended among the Chinese and
that twenty Chinese rowdies were kill
Ell and Il few Europeans, including the
German consul and American vice con-
sui. hurt.
The city of Shanghai has been put
under martial law, and foreigners are
all arming. The streets are deserted
except for armed patrols, which are
everywhere.
There is no abatement of the Chinese
boycott on American goods. This trade
luminosity has developed into a bitter
hostility not only on American prod
ucts, but also against people from the
United States. In the leading cities of
China store windows bear signs read
ing, NO American goods sold here"
This boycott is carried out to the letter.
1t is said that the goods which have
principally come under the ban are
oils, tobacco, sewing machines and
flour.
