ist reports, trustworthy Information
received here la that all Is quiet at
Kleu-klang. YVu-hu. Nanking. Fu
chow and Hang-chow. There has been
a large exodua to Shanghai from these
places.
The worst feature of the situation Is
the stringency In money, due to a de
mand for silver In exchange for even
the nest paper. Several banks In
Shanghai have suspended payments.
The loan of t3.n00.000 In new cur

banks here, haa partially relieved the
situation, but business la at a stand
still and a crisis la threatened unless
negotlatlona are begun by the bankers
with the merchant guilds to avert It.
The venerable North China Dally

slaughter of Innocent kinsfolk, with
the object of blotting out tainted

"The ringleaders undoubtedly must

well-filled money baga and Imperial
pardons ready for signature. Is offer

"The events of the past weeks mnst
lead to, a genuine redress of griev
ance. "China should remember the atarv
Ing multlturtea beggared by the
Yangtae Klang floods. Those with
whom the rebels had been able to
plead fought and died."
Tonight's advices from Hankow say
that the defeated Imperial troopa are
now entrenched on Seven-Mile Creek.
One Chinese gunboat was sunk In Jhe
river by Ita crew, who deserted to the
rebels.
Admiral Fah Cheng Ping took the
other warships of the fleet down the
