Washington, Oct 1S.-The interna.

dents threatens to present serious
problem.
During the last few days the for
eign gunboats have assembled at Han
kow to protect foreign interests. SO far
the revolutionary movement has been
directed entirely against the Manchu
dynasty, which has been in control Of
affairs at Pekin. According to in
formation received ut the state de-
partment, there have been no signs
OF the anti-foreign sentiment which
has marked all previous revolutionary
outbreaks. TIL ereason for the land
ing Of German sailors Is not known
here. The American naval cor: mand-
err at Hankow, Commander Chester M.
Knepper, has instructions to cooper
ate with the foreign naval officers The
state department will take no action
until further details have been re-
ceived. 1t Is not expected here that
there will be any foreign Intervention
In behalf of the Pckin government un-
less foreign interests are endangered.
Rear Admiral J. b. Murdoch, com
mander of the Asiatic squadron, has
left Manila on board the cruiser New
Orleans for Hankow to resume COM
maud of the American naval force
there, which consists of the Helena,
I'll Cano, Vi'labolos and Zamar.
The state department was advised
by Edward r. Williams, charge daft
flares of the American legation at
Pekin, that three Chinese had been
executed at Mukden for spreading
revolutionary doctrines. There had
been no disturbances in that region.
No anti-foreign sentiment has devel-
oped, he added.
