'While the fighting was In prorress the thirteen foreign vest-els In the river landed a Joint force under command of Vice Admiral Sir Alfred L. Wlnsloe, com mander of the British fleet, who, because of his seniority, has been given the direc tion of the men engaged in the protection of the foreign concessions. The Red Cross neutral camp.

The warships uted up .a largo quantity ! of ammunition but the e(fvctens of their fire as' hampered by fear of en dangerlng the foreign concessions. All the foreign warships iu the river sent landing parties ashore for, the pro tection of the foreign interests. At the first sound of firing Admiral Sah Chen Ping, In oommand of the Chinese warships, ordered men landed to support General Chang Plao. formerly commander of the troops of the Wu-Chang district, wh'had assumed command cf the im perial troops.

Admiral Sah In turn ordered - the war ships to fire on the rebel field pieces, and for a time shells fell thick among the rebel gunners. The warship officers, however, were seiiously handicapped by the danger to the foreign eoncevdona in. volved in their fire. Fire ou For I en Reporters.
