ARRIVAL OF MR. O'MALLEY AT
HANKOW:
GRAPHIC STORY OF RIOT.
#
Mr. O'Malley. the British Charge d'Affaires at Peking, has arrived in Hankow, where he will confer with Mr. Eugene Chen. The Chinese have been instructed to refrain from demonstrations whilst the discussions are in progress.
1
Looting by Chinese soldfors' on a small scale occurred in the British Concession at Kluktang yesterday, whilst more women and children have been evacuated from Chunking.
"A graphic story of the outbreak of the trouble at Hankow, given to a Shanghai newspaper by Mr..E. S. Wilkinson, who witnessed the whole of the affair, confirms the reports that the 'movement was deliberately engineered by agitators for the purpose of provok- ing the defenders into firing.
In view of speculations in some quarters regarding British Intentions concerning the future of the evacuated Concessions it is noteworthy that, according to a Beuter's message from London, there is not the slightest intention of giving them up..
