The direct menace to Shanghai is temporarily removed, but the authorities are not relaxing precau- ] tions and preparations. - Fifty Spanish bluejackets landed yesterday. Five hundred French colonial infantry from Indocha i are due shortly. Never in his- j tory has there been such an in- I ternational assembly of navies as are now in Shanghai har- ! bour. Every nation owning a ! navy is represented. The con- | gestion is added to by idle merchantmen. - In view of the apprehension felt as to the fate of Shanghai, the commander of the Cantonese has issued a declaration requestiri'g Shanghai to observe strict neutrality, promising protection of foreign lives and property. He requests the foreign forces to maintain peace within the Settlement.
