tinued well Into last night. ,
Today the foreign residents had not
been molested. The revolutionary com
mittee Issued a proclamation exhorting
Its foUowera not to harm the cttlsens of
other countries. The fact that the
wishes of the committee have been re
spected thus far while reassuring to
other nationals In Itself a sinister sign
for the government at Peking; at It In
dicates that the rebellious movement Is
now more thoroughly organised,.
Five gunboats are now In the river In
readiness to protect Hankow should the
necessity arise. The foreign cousuls
have also telegraphed their governments
asking that warships be sent to th
I scene. American and Japanest cruisers

' did not appear to have had the desired
effect. Immediately after th execution

uprising was precipitated.
The dlraffeetlon In th artillery spread
to other forcea and th revolutionaries
took advantage of th situation,' They
started fires in many parts of the city
and attacked such troops as refused to
Join them. The forces that remained
loyal were overcome.
The viceroy sent a message to Faking
urgently requesting th tmmedlat dis
patch of warships from Tien Tsln. Fi
nally seeing that further resistance wa
useless th viceroy fled the city and
found refuge on a private yacht that was
lying in th river. The willtary com
mander was assassinated.

Wu-Chang Is the capital of th eentra.1
province of Hu-Peh and a town of about
C00.000 Inhabitant. It I situated just
