The Chargé in China (Mayer) to the Secretary of State
[Received June 6—10:25 a.m.]
207. Following from consul, Amoy:
“June 6, 10 a.m. Student demonstration carried out this morning; about two thousand in procession; one-day strike also declared. Agitators are arriving from Shanghai this afternoon. Antiforeign boycott appears probable. Feeling against Japanese and British is running high and trouble may be expected. Understand that Japanese consul is in communication with Japanese warships which evidently are in close proximity. British consul has informed his naval authorities at Hongkong of local situation.”
Repeated to commander in chief.
