EMBASSY WARNING
MURDER OF BLUEJACKET
Shanghai, Sept. 23.
Japanese patrols to-night crossed the International Settlement's boundary into Chinese territory and approximately 500, bluejackets are patrolling the Japanese district of Hongkew and the adjacent Chinese administered section of the city, Chapei.
We can
A Japanese Embassy spokesman declared: "Our indignation at this latest outrage is unbounded. no longer trust the Chinese assurances and must regretfully take whatever steps we consider suitable."
Throughout the night Japanese officials here have been preparing to follow the sternest policy. The Japanese Acting Consul-General, Mr. Terasaki, has sent a note to the International Settlement's Municipal Council and also the Shanghai Municipal Government asking co-operation in the search for the murderers of the Japanese seaman, who was shot down by unidentified gunmen last night, and whose two companions, also bluejackets, were wounded.
It is reliably learned that the commander of the
permanent Japanese Naval Landing Party in Shanghai, is preparing to announce to-morrow independent- measures for the protection of Japanese nationals.
The present Shanghai force at his command is less than 2,000, but 4,500 reinforcements are due to arrive to-morrow morning aboard H. I. J. M. S. Muroto. The old flagship, Idzumo, lying at
a pier a few yards from the Japanese Embassy, hunted by bluejackets when the alarm spread following the shoot-

Gibraltar, Sept. 23.
The Leftist Government in Spain is approaching a desperate crisis. The Rightists are threatening at present to cut off the Toledo army from Madrid and thereafter to take the capital at their leisure.
а drive upon
Indications are that the Rightists are contemplating, first, Toledo, thereafter isolating the Leftist besiegers of the Alcazar; secondly, de- feating these besieged; thirdly, advancing east and north-east, and severing the Madrid-Valencia railway, and simultaneously attacking Madrid from the west, north, north-east and south.
The Leftists' counter-plan appears to be, firstly, to capture the Alcazar; secondly, to safely remove the besiegers in case the attack fails; thirdly, to dispatch the Alcazar forces to attack the rebels as they advance on Madrid, and thereafter

A tense atmosphere prevailed in Hongkew, thickly populated by Japanese and Chinese, when Reuter's correspondent toured the area last night.
