MARTIAL LAW.
UNREST IN AMOY. An ti- Japanese Continue. SITUATION QUIET BUT TENSE. (By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received 12 noon.) HONGKONG, March 29.
The situation at Amoy in consequence of the anti-Japanese feeling is growing serious. Martial law continues.
A mob of thousands of angry Chinese demonstrated when the cargo of a Japanese ship was landed by Formosans against the orders of the strikers.
The Chinese military officials are sending a large party of armed men to disperse the demonstrators.
A number of Japanese sailors from six warships in the harbour arrested some strike pickets, and allegedly tore up the Chinese flag. The pickets were later released.
The general strike continues and the situation is now quiet, but tense. —(Sydney "Sun.")
