ASSERTION OF AMERICAN RIGHTS REJECTION OF JAPANESE DEMANDS. CHINESE REPEL LANDING NEAR ANKING. SHANGHAI, June 12. Rear-Admiral Yarnell sharply rejected Japan’s demand that American and foreign shipping should evacuate the Yangtse-Kiang River above Wuhu, declaring that the American Navy will go wherever Americans are in danger. Rear-Admiral Yarnell also refused a Japanese suggestion to paint American warships “scarlet or some other colour.”
Though a bombardment from sixty warships covered the landing of Japanese detachment on the north and south banks of the Langtse-Kiang neai Anking, the Chinese drove them back to their boats.
English and American gunboats are standing by, between Anking and Hankow.
