CHINESE TROUBLE.
(Australian & N.Z. Cable Association.)
A CHINESE HAPPENING
SHANGHAI, Nov. 2. Two hundred disgruntled Nationalist soldiers being shipped from Shanghai to Foochow on a Chinese steamer, mutinied as the vessel was leaving the harbour, over-powered the officers, demanded arrears of wages forty cents apiece, stopped the vessel and compelled the crew to return to the wharf. So far it was a bloodless affair. Local military authorities boarded the vessel and arrested two ringleaders, who were beheaded immediately. Forty cents were paid the remainder and the vessel departed.
