Fearing for their lives, the 23,000 foreign resi dents of Shanghai have armed them selves and appealed to the British colony of Hong Kong for aid. Sporadic outbreaks of the flaming Chinese anti-foreign spirit together with the finding of another Ameri can victim, F. J. Trevilllan, a ser genat In the American volunteer corps, locked in a vile prison In the native city, have brought all able bodied men to arms. Heavy rains, however, have served to calm the situation temporarily. Secondary to the tear that for eign lives will be taken If the fires of rebellion tyrst beyond control, is the apprehension that the rioters may destroy tremendously valuable property owned by foreigners. Shangilal Is the gateway to the na tion's interior trade, and the ware houses of the city hold Incalcul able wealth. The British cruisers Diomes and Carlisle are expected hourly, bring ing a total of 1500 men. Funeral services for Chinese stu dents killed In the rioting were held today in the native section.
