ATTEMPTED GAOL-BREAKING.
AT SHANGHAI.
ORGANISED RIBING OF PRISONERS.
WARDERS SRIOUSLY INJURED.
THE DEATH OF VAH MAO-MAO..
We take this following from the N«C. D. Nates of 5th inst.:-.
A most determined attempt to escape from prison was made by the Chinese convicts at the Ward Road gnol yesterday afternoon and is a result two Chinese were shot dad, and one other died subsequently from his wounds, and several persons, were more or less seriously
injurect,
Between two and three o'clock no organised attempt to escape was made by a gang of the prisoners. By some means they oblaned the sword of an Indian warder and then tried to break out. The alarm was given immediately,
and a severe tussle ensued, in which a 'noto. rious criminal, an associate of V, h Ka-dar, and another prisoner were shot dead and res
Geral were injured. The ardere had a pretty stiff time in defending themselves. The head gaoler, Mr. W. D. Bleunerhasset, received
word cut over the right side of his head, and another sword cut on his left leg between the thigh and knee, and had to be removed to the Victoria Nursing Home, while two Indian warders were badly injured and had to be
sent to hospital.
The attempt to escape was, fortunately, pre- vented by the brave stand of the gaolers and warders, who suppressed the outbreak with. commeadable promptitude, although they suf fere in so doing.

With the assistance of the Police, the foreign olers were able to get the various gangs of convicts back into their cells.

large force of police were on their way to the cene of the fracas. Fortunately, on the arrival of the majority, the worst was over.
Meanwhile what happened at the Gaol was as follows:--Some twelve to fifteen convicts were at work making boots in a tailor's shop and included in the gang was Vah Mao-mao, the associate and brother of the notorious out. law Vah Kah-der. These mea were working under the surveillance of an Indian warder, who was armed as usual with a sword. Some time between 2 and 3 p.m., Vah Mao.mao, who was undergoing a twenty-years' sentence, sud. denly sprang up, and with a shoemaker's knife in his hands leapt at the warder and cut him across the throat, inflicting a dangerous wound. Thereupon the other convicts rose up and seizing tools, attacked the warder. One of them drew the latter's sword and struck him
with it. The Indian turned and fled down the steps to the lower shop, and in his flight (judg⋅, ing by the wounds on the back of his head) must have been struck with the sword two or three times, He got through the dear to the shop underneath and it was inìmediately clas ed behind him by another warder. Led by Vah Mao-mao, the excited gang charged the door and with hammers soon removed the obstacle They again attacked the warders and by this time several other Indians joined in the mèlee. The whistles of the warders gave the alarm, and the whole of the Gaol staff made for the scene, the Europeans armed with revolvers The head gaoler, Mr,,,W. D. Plennerhasset, went round to the east side of the malling shop. and, there he was Immediately attacked by a gang of men who had presumably been engag ed in making coir mats. By this time the convicts, howling and yelling, were rushing about the compound with all kinds of working thole in their hands, and pieces of wood, in cluding the bamboo poles used for beating the matting. The head gaoter was being prees. ed hard when an Indian warder ushed to hir musistance and in warding off a blow from
