 This reassuring news came after anxious hours of silence following advices that the local British naval and civil authorities were straining every effort to avert clashes. yield ing to the Chinese to an extent which a few years ago would not have been thought possible.
 After withdrawal of the naval forces Tuesday night all the VOL unteer foreign police forces were disarmed. leaving the Chinese free to roam the British quarter. with the British relying on the word Of Eugene Chen, the Cantonese foreign minister, that he assumed full re- sponsibility for law and order and the protection of foreigners.

 No word has yet been received of the arrival of the American and British warships reported to be rac- ing up the Yangtse from Hong Kong.
 Washington dispatches say there are six American naval vessels at Hankow. They are the converted yacht Isabel, gunboat Palos, mine sweeper Pigeon, gunboat Villalobas. and the destroyers Rope and Trux- ton. There are IS other American naval units in Chinese waters, most of them at Shanghai.)
 Most of the London morning news papers, published before receipt Of word of the British reoccupation of the Hankow concession, refrain from commenting on the situation, but the Daily Telegraph says:
 "A swift and decisive change in the British policy is demanded by the crushing proof, furnished at Hankow, of the unwisdom of relying upon conciliation at all costs" The Daily News advocates British recognition Of the Cantonese gov ernment.

 Chen's proclamation declared the nationalist government establishes a commission of provisional admin stration in the British concession to assume control or public safety and municipal affairs, undertaking full responsibility for the safety of for eign lives and property.
 The proclamation is equivalent in effect to retrocession of the British ing in full control of all bureaus in the district. Because of a steady rain few people were on it's streets.

R-A dis patch received here today direct from Hankow. filed at S:45 o'clock last night, indicated the exodus of Americans from the riot ridden Chi nese city was continuing in spite of the urgent invitation of Eugene Chen, Cantonese minister of foreign affairs, for them to remain.
 | The message made no direct men, lion of the situation in the British concession but indicated that the Chinese still were in control of that y&ection of the foreign colony.
 Chen was quoted as declaring en- rhatically that the Cantonese gov ernment, which is the dominant power in Hankow, would give full protection to American lives and property in all concessions there. Meeting American representatives, he said his government desired that lAmericans remain in HankoW and )hontinue business as usual.
 The dispatch said it was felt in |some quarters by the Chinese that Americans were leaving in sympathy Iwith the British evacuation move land the Cantonese government felt the reaction among the natives might be injurious to the Americans. Conditions were reported quieter. "although a panicky feeling pre- vails, banks and business firms re- maining closed"
