and the others were soon overawed by the threatening revolutionists.
 Keys to some of the magazines were lost in the furry and never produced However, after killing four men, the revolutionists obtained ammunition for some of the small guns and forces the gunners to direct fire on the arse nal The gunners apparently fired at such elevation that they did not hit the objects the revolutionists desired them to fire at, but sent their shots into the foreign settlements beyond The Chao Ho lay in msidtream when she was seized and was directly oppo- site the arsenal. Five other warships were also lying at anchor in line ex- tending about one mile. Some ohthese were dismantled and undergoing re- pair, and only two of them were able to do anything to silence the Chao Hos guns Even these had steam up, and were so located that firing was very hazardous.
 Darkness was upon the fleet few minutes after the revoiutionists board ed the Chao Ho. A small fort aGjoin- ing the arsenal began firing at all the warships, lest others might follow the lead of the Chao Hoa. Mean time the revolutionfsts forced the gunners of the Chao Ho to continue the shots, which were fired wide of the marks the rebels desired to hit. Several par tf hA pI otf nf cd fn ro. capture the Chao Ho. but were diveR back This situation continued until about one o'clock in the morning fol lowing day. When dawn broke the cruiser Yingswei began firing with de- finite aim at the Cho Ho and in very short time the rebels took to small boats and escaped to the shore. One shell struck the Chao Ho about six inches above the water line. Her con- ming tower was hit, and a shell struck her bows.
 Soldiers in small boats tried to fol- low the rebels disappearing in a midst, but were unsuccessful in catching them before they landed.
 The movement against the arsenal from the water side was feebly sup ported by small land forces armed with rifles This, however, was easily suppressed by the soldiers in the gar rison of the arsenal.
 Bands of Coolies, heavily armed also made deonstrations in the foreign set dement's, but were uickly suppressed by the police. The coolies threw a number of bombs and terrified for eigners for a time. Confederates of the revolutionists who attacked the Chao Ho cut telephone, telegraph and electric light wires, and caused gene ral confusion before the connections could be restored.
 The demonstrations has terrOrized the foreigners in Shanghai, because 1t has show how effective a small band of revolutionists can operate under the protecting arm of the foreign settle ments. over which President Yuan Shi- Kai has mo control while the move ment showed some dislOyalty among the Chinese. 1t demonstrated a high percentage of loyalty and better or ganization than many foreigners sup posed was in existence among the Chinese military and naval forces.
 The government has issued state ments laying great stress on the fact that the outbreak took place when the majority of officers and crews cf the warships were off on leave. Hereafter, no leave is to be granted to men and officers on the Chinese warships at Shanghai and along the Yangtse. Less than ten men were killed in all. four of the dead being shot on the Chao Ho.
