Fighting In China; New War Is Feared.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 21, 1912:
Battle Going On at Wu-Chang — Many Officers Resign Owing to Killing of General.
PIRATES LOOT BRITISH ISLE
Slay and Rob Near Hongkong — Dr. Sun Continues Journey — Attempt on His Life at Tien-Tsin Expected.
By Marconi Transatlantic Wireless Telegraph to The New York Times.
    LONDON, Wednesday, Aug. 21.— The Dally Mall's correspondent at Tien-Tsin says:
    "Sun Yat-Sen arrives at Taku tonight (Tuesday) or to-morrow morning.
    "It is considered probable that his life will be attempted at Tien-Tsin. He will consult before leaving for Peking with Tang Shao-Yi, the Premier who absconded from Peking and is taking refuge in the concession."
