REBELLIOUS CRUISER CREW
BATTLE WITH TORTS 8 WARSHIPS
A. P. A. Sarvieo.
SHANGHAI, Dec. 8,—The crew of
the Chinese cruiser Chaio Hao mu
tinied last night while lying in tne
liarbor here in company with two other
vessels of the war fleet and. after
overpowering their officers, turned the
guns of their ship on the two other
«oriels and also against the forts and
arsenal near the harbor entrance.
The warships returned the fire and
an engagement commenced which last
ed upward of an hour with apparently
little damage being done on either
side. Several shots from the mutin
ous warship fell into the foreign con
cession but no damage resulted.
it is believed that a general mutiny
of the crew of the squadron was con
| icmplated but it has apperently been
confined to the Chaio Hao. The cruis
er is now being prevented from es- i
raping by tlie others, and. an the crew j
iave threatened tu sink any vessel at - I
uupting to approach, tlie Chinese au- ]
purities have decided tu shell ami sink !
| tier in the event that the mutineers
do not surrender. The Chaio Hao
nutiny is a further evidence of tlie
lsaffectlon rapidly spreading through
out the army and navy and an out-1
break of great proportolns is looked up
on as inevitable unless strong repres
tve measures ure at once adopted by i
I the authorities.
