PEKIX. April . Dr. Sun Yat Sen, the t southern political leader, the first Pro ; visional .President of the Chinese Ke nubile, has been denounced in a man- date signed by President Yuan Shi Kai I. tor plotting another revolution. Detectives have reported to the sov ernment that Sun Yat Sen appointed ; agents and sent them into various dis 5 trlcts along: the Yans-tse Kiang and the i coast provinces to .create disturbances '. daring the negotiations with Japan. . The mandate instructs Chinese mili- tary and civil governors to take vigor-- ous precautionary measures. C'harce Repeatedly Made. I Dr. Sun Yat Sen has been residing In ' Tokio since the last Chinese rebellion. For the last two years the charge has - been made repeatedly that he has been conniving with Japanese officials and receiving assistance from them. Foreigners in Pekin are of the belief that the evidence is against bun i Sen. bnt they recognize also that the ' Chinese government would not be slo to grasp an opportunity to make PO' ., litiral capital out of his Japanese con' - nections. Many other revolutionists have publicly denounced the Japanese .' demands on China, but not so Sun Yat : Sen. t Price la Set en Head. t The Chinese government has set : price on the head of Dr. Sun Yat Sen and he has been an exile in Tokio for two years. - do-something to "bring dyestuffa' out of Germany. They were assured by Secretary Tu multy and Counsellor Lansing that the question would be taken up for f jiUier effort. The manufacturers' told offi cials that the supply of dyestuffs in the United States was now practically ex hausted. The committee declared that they had been in communication with manu facturers in 28 states and had found that mills employing 400.000 operatives would face being closed within 30 to 60 days unless relief comes. They declared that other mills which would ultimate ly feel the need of German dyestuffs will have to throw many other men out of work. Members of the committee declared that efforts to produce dyestuffs in the United States can be of no practical value for some time. s The committee asked that the Gov ernment seek to have Great Britain lighten the stringency of the recent order-in-council, preventing the expor-j tation of all goods from Germany or of German origin.

April 6. The Asahi has pub ' lished a news dispatch saying that Count Okuma. the Japanese Premie while addressing a group of govern ment officials at Kozu, said the negotl ations of Japan with China had been ; complicated by the attempt of Germany to make China believe that Japan was designing to annex China, as she had done Cores. This Chinese illusion was being dis pelled, the Premier declared. The ne gotiaions will not be so difficult as has been rumored, he said, and he expected to see their conclusion some time in the month of April. : ATTACK ON SERBS ADVISED :,'Kaicrs Commander of Turks Said lo Have Declared Necessity. I, PARIS, April 6. The chief purpose j.or the trip to Berlin, made by Field ' larshal von der Goltz, German mili- ( tary adviser to Turkey, telegraphs the ! Journal's Athens correspondent, was ! to convince Emperor William of the necessity for new and more energetic ' attacks against Serbia, under, the com mand of the r leld Marshal. Such an attack, the Journal's corre. - epontlent says, is considered essential by German officers in Constantinople , in order to establish communications necessary to enable them to obtain sup- . plies of ammunition, which are badly needed. Another purpose, according to the ' dispatch, would be the hope that it : might turn the neutral Balkan nations . against the triple entente, for it is be lieved in Constantinople that the de lay in the Dardanelles operations has been a disappointment to partisans of the allies. i.

President Wilson is expected to announce within a few days the route or the uovernment raiiroaa in Alaska and to give out Important facts as to the proposed expenditure o $2,000,000 appropriated by Congress for the work this season. Announcement was held up pending the return of Sec retary Lane. He and the President, at the Cabinet meeting today, discussed the matter briefly, and will have further extended conference, after which the President will announce hi decision. It seems to be agreed that the President will authorize the pur chase of the Alaska Northern Railroad, and make partial payment perhaps $500.000 when the transaction Is closed. Secretary Lane. It is thought, wants the President, at the time of making his announcement, to authorize an ap praisal of the Copper River Railroad, with a view to its purchase when price ia agreed on. That road could not be purchased at this time, not hav ing been appraised, and it will require an entire season to determine ns value to the Government. There is uncer tainty whether the President will carry out this desire of the Secretary of the Interior. Secretary Lane intends to visit Alaska next July and go over the route of the railroad, or railroads, which the Government is to build, in order to familarize himself with the situation and be better able to go be fore Congress next session to ask for a large appropriation. t Construction of the Government rail road in Alaska will be carried on by the Alaskan Engineering Commission, which surveyed possible routes, rather than under the Engineer Corps of the Army, Secretary Lane so announced after to day's Cabinet meeting.
