THE SHANGHAI SENSATION.
Attempted Gaol-Breaking.
The Shanghai Mercury gives some in-
teresting details in regard to the outbreak among the prisoners at the Municipal Gaol at Shanghai. It seems that the attack was made by a band of about fifty prisoners who were engaged as usual in their varions tasks of shoe-making, stone-cutting, mat- making, carpentry etc., and the weapons with which they were armed were the tools used in their daily occupation". At a given signal they seized the weapons and made a rush for the doors of the workshops but the Indian warders promptly gave the alarm. Mr W. D Blennethasset, Chief Gaoler, hurriedly marshalled the whole of his forces, arming them with carbines and ball cartridge and a stand was made at the principal gate. In the melee that ensued Mr Blennerhasret himself was bad- ly wounded about the head, face and thigh, receiving several severe stabs from choppers, etc. Two of the Indian warders wore also wounded in the neck with chop- pars and other sharp instruments.

Twelve others are in a precarious condition and there are some slightly injured. The dead bodies were removed to await the arrival of the Tipao who was immediately communicated with and informed of the outbreak. It was at first thought that a number of the convicts had escaped but on calling the roll they were all accounted for.
When the last mail left Shanghai Mr Blennerhasset was progressing favourably but the wounded Indian warder was still in a critical condition. Five of the convicts had died from their injuries.

DETAILS OF THE DISASTER.
TERRIBLE STATE OF AFFAIRS.
The following information concerning the terrible disaster at San Francis is the most complete that has yet been obtainable in the Colony, and le gleaned from Aus- tralian newspapers just to hand. The cablegrains to these papers were very com- plete and probably give a better and more comprehensive idea of the state of San Francisco than it will be possible to obtain from the American p pers themselves.
The first shock of earthquake occurred at San Francisco on the morning of April 18, and the first report to hand stated that one thousand people had been killed, and half
the city was in ruins.
Later now disclosed a worse state of affairs. Owing to the burning of tolograph and newspaper offices the information was fragmentary, but since then the worst fears have been realised, and only one-fourth of the city has been saved
