FIGHTING BREAKS
OUT AT NANKIN
Rv The limited Press.

By The United Press.
SHANGHAI, Nov. S-Fighting broke
out today at Nankin, which has been
for some time to go over
10 the Rebels. The Manchus thele are
putting up a stiff resistance. Warned
by the Massacrees Of their fellows IA
several other cities which have all
ready fallen into the revolutionists'
hands, they have been entrenching
for several days on Purple Hill,
where their position is said to be -
strong that it is doubtful if the rebels
can dislodge them. From the Mancbu
standpoint. the hill has the advantage
of overlooking Nankin, so that though
the revolutionists may succeed IN
taking the city, they can keep up a
continual fire upon it. Details arc
lacking but the battle now in pro-
gress is reported TO be very fierce.
Nankin is one of the most important
cities in China. Several other small
er towns are reported to have gonj
over to the rebels today without re-
sistance. The English and German
oonsuls at Cheofoo have telegrapheJ
that the outlook is threatening there
and the German cruiser Emden ha.
been ordered from Tsing-Tao to give
foreigners there protection.
