Shanghai, July 24. 1.45 a.m.

The Chinese cruiser Haichow did not, as reported, catch fire; a shell entered ber foune!, and she appeared to be ablaze.

The Northo pere lave not consented to an armistice. Desultory firing continued until 10.45 laat night, when the Artillery opened heavily.

In the afternoon the wounded were landled in the Settlement, and the bosipta's are full.

The bravery of tho Rail Cross workers is commented upon. The fire from the oraleer Kiangching cramped up the Southern Infantry and caused the greatest casualtios. The Arsenal fired shrapnel with great effect.

The shitage and wastage of ammunition are commented upon. In the fighting the Southerners favoured crops, trees and grave

mounds for shelter.

Both sidea are reported to have been reinforced.

Japanese are unquestionably fighting with the Southerners, They throw off their k 03 and disclosed their uniforme when the battle began

The Southernera are badly led and lick morale. However, they have rallied and are prepared to continue.

The Ineses cannot at present be estanted.
