CLASHES IN HANKOW. MARTIAL LAW DECLARED. Press Association—Copyright, Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn. (Received Noon.) SHANGHAI, September 12. Fears of an uprising of extremists have resulted in strict martial law being enforced in Hankow. All Chinese are prohibited from appearing in the streets of the native quarter whence trouble is expected oavIng to the absence of the main Hankow armies, which are participating in the Nationalists’ resumed drive towards Shantung. This is reported to be progressing in their favour. The Chinese authorities in Hankow have advised the French municipality to barricade the concession. French marines have landed, and are picketing the concession. Several minor clashes' have occurred between the military and the Communists, and there also were a number of stabbiiigs and bomb throwings, which caused a few casualties. The military are patrolling the streets in full strength and are dealing harshly with agitators. It is considered that the foreign naval forces in Hankow are sufficient to meet the worst situation that may arise.
