by Marines Hongkong, Aug. 4.
The Amoy correspondent of the "South China erning Post'' states that yesterday afternoon marines and sailors from H. M. Foxglove and Diomed occupied the British Concession without opposition. Business is in a chaotic condition. The presence of the warships has allayed the fears of the foreign community.
Northern Chinese gunboats captured a steam-launch flying the Japanese flag, on board of which they found $70,000 and 200 of Gen. Chuang Tsz-ping's soldiers, whom they captured.—Reuter.
The U. S. Consul at Amoy has wired to the Legation at Peking requesting that an American warship be sent to the port to protect American life and property, which have been endangered not only by the fighting which has taken place there, but by reason of the troops forcibly entering the International Concession. The request was duly transmitted to the Admiral Commanding the U. S. China Squadron, who has ordered the Ashville to proceed to Amoy.
