IMPERIALS WHIP REBELS.
Hsnkow Again in Possession Of the
Manchas.

Shanghai, China. - Wireless dis
patches from Hankow reporting
sweeping victory for the Imperial
hal. The reports were received even
in official circles with incredulity.
Rebel sympathizers declared that the
dispatches were undoubtedly sent from
government source to bolster up q
faltering cause.
The wireless dispatches were caught
by some of the German naval opera
tors. They gave no details but said
that there was fighting all day at Han
kow and that the result was a sweep
ing government victory compelling the
revolutionists to abandon Hankow and
fall back across the Han river into
Han Yang.
Whatever the situation around Han
kow matters have grown more desper-
ate for the government cause I'm the
vicinity of Shanghai and along the
lower part of the Yang Use river.
There were persistent reports that
Ching Kiang. $50 miles above Shang-
hal. was about to fall into the hands
of the rebels. Ching Kiang is the first
of the series of lower river forts above
Shanghai and is regarded here as the
keystone Of the defense of the city.
II II falls. II is conceded that all the
forts below IL as far as Wu Sing will
quickly follow.
Wu Sung, 10 miles above Shanghai.
marks the city's last line of defense.
West of Shanghai the wealthy city OF
Su Chow is threatened while above
Ching Kiang three important cities,
Nan King, Yang Chow and WI Hu
are believed to be in danger. All four
of these cities reported that while the
situation was still quiet there is open
sympathy for the rebel cause and
probably little effective resistance will
| be offered to attack.

could not land. Then Kuphal climbed
to the ferry cable. hanging high over
the water, and made his way out to
the stranded boat, but was caught by
log which came floating down the
river and pinned fast. He called for
help and Marshall made his way out
over the cable. He landed alongside
of Kuphal and was endeavoring to re-

The breaking of the cable caused the
ferry to float and it swung around to-
ward the opposite bank. This released
kuphal from the painful position. but
he was washed from the boat into

Dawson, with the rowboat. Mar.
