The Imperialists shelled the Hankow native city this morning. Con-flag rations are breaking out every~ where and enveloping half the city in flames. An attempt was made by foreigners to rescue the wounded in the mission hospital, but was frustrated by the revolutionaries' fire from Wuchang.
The Imperialists withheld their fire while the Red Cross operations were proceeding, but afterwards recommenced.
The city has been rendered an absolute inferno. A few shells from Wachang fell in the conces si one bursting in a ward of hospital, bat without damage.—Our Own Correspondent.
