The following details of the fighting at Hankow have been received through Reuter's Agency Renter's correspondent with General Yin Chang's force reports that the Imperialists resumed the attack on Hankow in the evening of October 28. The rebels made a brave stand, and kept up a deadly fire from the housetops, until they were routed by the Imperialists'
General Ma showed distinguished gallantry in leading the attack.
The Imperialists occupied Hankow on the morning of the 29tb.
The rebels were mostly recruits.
Fighting continued until late in the afternoon. The rebel losses then amounted to about 500 men killed and 1,500 wounded, in addition to those taken prisoners, and fifteen field-gans captured.
A STRONG POSITION, Telegrams from Hankow state that the Imperialists are virtually in possession of the whole of Hankow, including the powder factory, and are in a good position to attack the arsenal at Hanyang.
The fighting was one-sided, as the rebels were a mere armed rabble pitted against trained troops.
