Hangchow, Aug. 21.
Conditions in Hangchow appear Jets strained than heretofore. There is no open hostility.
The C: M.S. hospital is still carrying on successfully despite the renewed attack of three weeks ago, Jwhen a mob raided the hospital and jearried off two male nurses who were paraded through the city and ex-poted to insults of the mob, for the simple reason that they refused to desert their Chinese patients and Join forces with the strikers.
The magistrate was obliged to take action against the ringleaders responsible for the affair. They; were twice summoned to attend the yamen to give an account of their jiawless actions, but they did not, appear.
On being summoned tol attend the third time the ringleaders Jappealed to the guilds Association to help them out of the scrape. The guild assembled to discuss the matter and appointed four of their number to approach the military and civil governors to apologize for the uproar caused by the students, explaining that because of the strong patriotism surging within them they had been led to do what they did, Jbut they realized they had gone too far. They were sorry. The apology thas been accepted and the case dis missed as being of little importance. An apology, however, has been offer-fed to the hospital for the lawless be-[haviour of the so-called patriots.
The hospital carries on as usual, all told, including paupers, there are nearly 300 in-patients and a daily average of over 100 out patients. These facts belie the rumours spread abroad by Chinese that the British /Hospital had been closed and that ithe foreigners had left. There is still much faith and fight left in Cholera is) present in the -city; Jsome' eases have been admitted to hospital and successfully treated. The weather, though not so hot as ural ip August is very humid.
