(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT).

Shanghai, July 1.

INTERNATIONAL repercussions of an important nature may develop from an extraordinary incident in Shanghai-Harbour yesterday afternoon.

Swooping down without warning upon the Chinese Maritimes Customs anchorage, just below Pootung Point, shortly after four o'clock yesterday afternoon, a Chinese gunboat of the new Sun class, commandeered the Customs revenue-cruiser, Liu Heing.

An armed force was placed aboard the craft and it was. towed under guard upstream to the vicinity of the, Kiangnan Arsenal, where it remained throughout the night.

Simultaneously, the Chinese gunboat delivered orders to three launches attached to the Harbour Master's Department, and also others belonging to the Customs.

These vessels were compelled to follow the gunboat to the upper reaches of the river, where they also remained for the night.
