nouncement of what was considered
a conciliatory communique from the
Marking government.
Russians and Chinese eXpatriates
! Stormed the Chinese embassy on the
Prapotkin Pereulok, throwing eggs,
sticks and stones, and smashing
window panes. War helmeted,
heavily armed regiments of "cay-

infantry were nard put to preserve
order.
Inside tfie embassy the demon
stration, which increased in inten-

panic among the staff Of 90 or more
who huddled together in one of the
rooms in suspense. They were pale

Sia Wen Sun, Chinese diplomatic
representative, told the correspond

two days and had not slep for two
nights, cabling message after mes
