Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1911-10-25

Between 1,400 and 1900
revolutionists and imperial troops
were killed or wounded in the first
days fighting in the rebellion against
the Manchu dynasty The battle took
place on the north bank of the Han
river, just west of Hankow, and was
indecisive. II, &
The revolutionists temporarily drove
the imperial troops back from their
4 positions and damaged the gunboats,
but in doing so exhausted their rifle
ammunition and were compelled to
retire to their base at WI Chang. 81
A renewal Of hostilities is expected
as 1t appears to be the plan of the
rebels to force the fighting before the
imperialists can secure reinforce
ments. The rebels asserted that they
would have routed the imperial troops
completely II their ammunition had
not given out.
Observers say that the engagement
was a fair fight. About 1000 were en-
gagged on each side.
Sab, commanding the Chinese war
ships. ordered men landed to, support
the troops. The rebels. on observing
this, directed hot fire on the blue
Jackets and on the warships them
selves from artillery and field guns
that had during the night been placed
on the WI Chang bank Of the river.
Admiral Sab retaliated with hot
fire upon the rebel field pieces and
for time shells fell thick. Many OF.
the shots endangered the eastern
limits OF the concessions and 1t was
plain that the Chinese gunners were
hampered by fear OF hitting the con-
cessions themselves and possibly kill
ing people who had taken refuge
there. 3i55 III
The engagement continued for sew
eral hours, when the combined land
and sea forces of the imperials We're
driven some distance back, and the
rebels retiring, crossed the river into
WI Chang, their original base. Il
While the fighting was In progress
the thirteen foreign vessels strung
along the river landed a joint force
in WI Chang in command sof Vice-Ad-
miral Alfred L. Winsloe, commander
Of the British eastern fleet These
men were destined for the various
concessions. being deemed advisable
that an increase in the guard was
necessary. Sir Alfred, because Of his
seniority, has been given the direc-
ton of the men engaged in the protec-
ton of the foreign concessions.
A German sailor was hit by q stray
bullet, but not seriously wounded. So
far as known, this was the only in
jury sustained among the foreigners.
Reports reaching Hankow say that
the! rebellion is spreading to Huang
Chow, Hsiao Kan Hsien and other
places. Although the fighting did not
take place directly in the city of Han
kow, the city was endangered to a
certain extent and all the women and
children left in the place were ordered
