warships ard the arsenal. The fire
was returned, the engagement lasting
for one hour. Several shots fell in

Chaotic. The Chinese authorities
announce that she will be shelled and
sunk at daybreak. Conflicting ac-
counts of the nature of the outbreak
are current, and owing to strict
measures taken by the authorities it
has been impossible thus far to obtain
official information. 1t appears, how
ever. that at O'Clock Sunday after
noon twenty men set forth from the
foreign settlement in a launch and
went alongside the Shao-Ho, which is
lying opposite the Kiang-Nan arsenal.
