CHINESE RAID MISSION HOSPITAL
OUTRAGE AT SWATOW WARSHIP SENDS GUARD By Cable. —Press Association. —Copyright Reed. 9.30 a.m. HONG-KONG, Sunday. A naval wireless message from Swatow reports that Chinese soldiers forced an entrance to an English Presbyterian Mission hospital, gagged the Chinese assistant, and threatened the officials with revolvers, intimating that in future they must receive instructions concerning the management of the institution from the military authorities. A doctor managed to get a message to a British warship, which immediately sent a platoon of armed naval ratings, who are guarding the hospital. The British Consul has notified the Chinese authorities that the guards will not be removed until an assurance is given that there will be no further molestation. The situation is considered as serious.—A. and N.Z.
