The Consul General at Canton (Jenkins) to the Secretary of State
[Received June 28—7:34 a.m.]
Referring to my telegram June 26, 11 a.m. Local Government has addressed notes to the British consul general and French consul demanding retrocession of Shameen, apology, remuneration to the families of killed, punishment of officials responsible for shooting and withdrawal of warships.
No change in the situation generally. Members of the Government urging students and other organizations not to renew demonstration and to protect foreigners but the radicals insisting upon action of some sort. No demonstration today but one is expected June 29th.
General friendliness to America which is officially [excepted] from the boycott but no foreigners safe in the city. Conditions better in the suburbs. Soviet Russians very active in efforts to turn affairs to their advantage. Absolutely no export and import business. Pampanga still at Wuchow. Helena and Asheville at Canton.
Legation is informed.
