Peking. Tho rebellion is spreading
rapidly. A well-defined rumor says
that a republic has been declared at
Wu-Chang and that tho rebel louder
at Hankow ,has notified the foreign
consuW"that a new' government has
'been established.
Peking, 1,000 miles away from the
rebel stronghold, In tho center of the
.province Is threatened with tho fate
of Hankow, a largo part ot which
has been destroyed by fire and where
hundreds of Mauchus have been
killed.
The government decided to con
centrate its efforts to save Peking
and unprecedented military activity
within tho walls ot the great city Is
the result. Thirty thousand troops,
v:ho were to havo departed for the
military maneuvers at Kaltong, Bre
on tho move In tho streets and sev
eral other divisions of the army are
entraining for the suburbs.
That Peking can be saved Is
deemed Impossible. The garrison Is
known to bo partially disloyal nnd It
Is feared the first uprising will be
tho signal for a wholesale desertion,
which con mean, nothing less than
the destruction of the city.
IChang and Yo-Chow have been
taken nnd hundreds of their Manchu
residents slain. A dispatch reports a
battle at Chungking and predicts
the early fall of that city.
The troops at tho great military
postB at Paotlngfu and Tientsin, a

"It was suggested to me that I could

used," said Chancellor Avery, "Thnt
In frequently the case In all of tho

Thoro nro so many Horns presented
