Hankow, To-day.

The hurling of a bottle of carbolic solution at the face of Dr. Logan Roots, an American, together with an insult to the American flag by Japan- ese soldiers on Sunday in Wuchang, has result- ed in a strong protest by the U.S. Consul- General, to the Japanese Consul.

It is reported that Dr. Roots, who is the son of Bishop Roots, formerly of Hankow, was ur- gently summoned on Monday to St. Michael's. Church.

There he found Japanese soldiers endeavouring to drive out Chinese refugees who were shelter- ing there with the permission of missionaries.

Dr. Roots first remonstrated with the Japanese officer in charge, and then tried to close the gates.

The Japanese started beating the American flag on the gate with their fists, and finally threw a bot- tle containing carbolic solution at Dr. Roots". head but missed their target.
