S TRUCE III CHINA YUAN REPORTED TO HAVE RANGED AN ARMISTICE. An WILL BE FOR TEN WEEKS Chaos Reigns In Peking City, With No Real Head of the Government In Evidence. London. Tho Dally Telccranh'a Pn. King correspondent says ho Is re liably Informed that Yuan Shi Kal has practically arranged a ten weeks armistice with the rebel generallss; mo. This will permit Yuan to uo im- mediately to Peking nnd form a cabi net. Ho will also attemnt to solve tno present confusion. Peking Yuan Shi Kal still declines to -accept the premiership, although assured of tho support of the national assembly and General Chang, in com mana or tno Lanchau troons. Both the assembly nnd General Chang, nowover, insist that when the narlla- mcnt lo elected tho premier shnll no chosen by that body, In tho meantime affairs here am In a state of chaos. No tangible head of tho government Is visible. The gov ernment urgently needs funds anJ hopes that tho Franco-Belgian loan will be forthcoming, to ennblo tho military operations, and tho ndmlnis- tralon to bo carried on. The Inter national group refuses to sunnly war funds. Tho government Is urging the group to advanco money In order to allay tho threatened financial and public deadlock In Peking, as It Is feared that tho nonclrculatlon of monoy will cause serious hardships to the coolies and tho lower classes, which possibly might lead to local disturbances. To this tho group is Inclined to ac cede, although foreign commercial In terests at Poking are Inconsiderable. Tho question of tangible security ap pears to bo almost Insurmountable, but tho negotiations continue Tbe group Insists that the funds be usea for tho purpose stated and suggests mat, lr completed, tho loan be hand ed ovor to tho local Chinese Chamber of Commerce, as was dono at Shang hai In the recent crisis. The third division of the nrmv sta tioned at Shang Hiing Fu Is under or ders to proceed to Lanchau, tho gov ernment evidently hoping that tho presence there of a loyal division would have a salutary effect on Gen eral Chang's men. Tho transference of this division Is now going on and tho attitude of tho men Is eagerly awaited, as It will probably turn tho scales In north China. Elsewhere in tho north, excepting In Peking, the soldiers generally sympathize wltn tho Lanchau movement. A REIGN OF TERROR. Victims Are Unmercifully Slaughter ed In Their Own Homes. Malta, Steamer passengers arriv ing from Tripoli describe tho situa tion there as a reign of terror.
