The South African war is not even spoken of among the Chinese here. Native newspapers published in Shanghai are not to any great extent circulated here.
AN ALARM AT SHASI, The Woodcock left this morning for Shasi, She was telegraphed for on Wednesday. What the cause is, is not generally known, We heard it reported by a visitor from Shasi that a good deal of anti-foreiga feeling was being exhibited, and that several men had been captured in a house all ready with combustibles to attack and burn the foreign residences.
