WAR IMMINENT
Shanghai-Roostek, This Day. It is reported that -war is brewing beween China and America, in consequence of a gross affront offered to the Chinese Empire by one George "Washington Binks, an American storekeeper in this city. Yesterday, Binks discharged his Chinese washer-man in consequence of his carelessness in ironing his employer's Sunday shirt, and refused to pay him two dollars and a-half back wages. John therefore informed the Emperor of this unwarrantable action. The Emperor has ordered a fleet of 250 war-junks and 3,000.000 soldiers to be got ready at once in order to attack San Francisco. "
