No Word From Hankow.


Picking, Oct. l9-The foreign lega-
tlons in Peking have received no dis
patches from Hankow since 9 o'clock
last evening. The last message from
American Consul General Roger S.
Greene stated only that the fighting
had begun 1t Is believed, however,
that the concessions In Hankow are
safe, and that the 10 or ~ foreign
cruisers and gunboats in the harbor
are ample protection even from the
joint Chinese army and navy.
But 1t will be impossible TO prevent
stray shells from endangering foreign
ers, or conflagrations and looting by
the rabble. 1t would be difficult TO
Gordon the concessions because only
narrow streets cut them off from the
densely packed Chinese city.
1t Is hoped that all women and
children have already been safely re-
moved from Hankow, as ii is feared
that the defeat OF the revolutionists
might be followed by excesses.
