Japanese residents Including wo lAen were killed, some apparently with gruesome tortures, those dis patches Indicate. Six bodies recov ered bear the evidences of atroc ities. Details of the Japanese defonse of hastily erected barricades on the morning of March 3 have ar rived in Washington in a report from American Consul llrlce. For eight hours, he said, there was general fighting, with the Japan ese using armored cars and, fin ally, field artillery. Isolation of some units of both sides so that orders could not reach them was suggested by Mr. Hrice as prob ably having something to do with the outbreak. All Americans In the city are safe, according to messages sent Shanghai by the Nationalist goner alissimo, Chiang Kai-Shek, who nlso notified British officials that English nationals there were allvo and safe. A similar report, dis patched at 11 a. m. Friday, was recolvod from the American consul at Tsinan. this adding that no Ger mans had been harmed although a Herman hotel had been looted. Contrary to these' reports, liowv ever, was another to Hie Standard Oil company thst foreigners other than Japanese had , been killed and that the company was Invest igating the condition of Its Amer ican employees there.

The Jap anese machine gun and artillery flro has cut a wide awath in the Nationalist ranks, while tho Chin ese have retaliated with renewed looting and- offenses against Jan- i nnese women.

Thoro wore no reports of renewed fight- ne , Tsinan yesterday but wheth er this was line to iniomipuun of communication facilities or to a cessation of hostilities could not be learned. Japanese reinforcements to tho scant two to three thousand men protecting the forelun settlement were being rushed from both Man churia and Tsingtao, with tho chance however, that destruction of railroad lines around the city will delay their arrival. Notionalist forces at Tsinan, be lieved to be arrayed against the small Japanese garrison ro esti mated at from 20.000 to 40.000, the number Including certain un ruly elements over which the Nat ionalist command has apparently lost all control.
