SOME REASONS why they are better for the
American women than the Imported corset
BECAUSE thry are fitted to Amerloan .node! when manufactured, and
consequently fit the American figure. The linpoi t a oorsols are tilted to the

REBELLION IN CHINA EXPECTED j
People Will No Longer Submit to the j
Wholesale Slaughter of the 1
Empress'. Enemies. '
i
. j
SHANGHAI. March T. A full ac-j
count has been received here of the J
meeting on March 5 at Peking, between j
the empress dowager and the grand j
coun-il. Protests were read from the j
Viceroya and governors or nine of the j
elshteen provinces against the policy j
of the empress dowager. These offt-
clals are the gretest provincial authori- j
ties In China.. They declared unitedly j
that, if the empress dowager persists
in persecuting the reformers and con- !
tinuing her reign of terror policy, the
Chinese under them will rebel against
the Manchus. The viceroy at Nan
king says he has 140.000 Hunahese
troops who are anxious to fight the
Manchus, ard he fears he cannot cen
tral them.' '
The viceroys who united In this re
markable step represent the provinces
of Klang-Su, Anhul. Kiangsl, Hunan,
Hiipeh. Chekiang. Fookien, Quangsl
and Kwanktung. with an aggregate
population of 180,000,000.
Until this protest was made the em
press dowager had been having things
quite her own way. Though she had
desisted from her purpose to set up
a new emperor, yet her wrath toward
those who opposed her has shown no
abatement. It is unbounded. Kin
Lien Shan has been captured in the
Portuguese colony of Macao, off the
south China coast, by Li Hung Chang's
detectives. Mr. Kin fled from Shanghai
last month. He is the manager of the
national system of telegraphs in China
and headed the petition signed by 1200
Doubles, against setting up a new em
peror. Probably he will be decapitate.
An English law firm here has been re
tained to defend him. The government
has trumped up charges of defalcation
against Mr. Kin, who is really a vtry
able and enlightened man.
On March J instructions were wiijed
from Peking to Soo Chow, capital of
Klangsu, to arrest and put to death
the reformers Weng T'Ung-Ho and
Shen Pong. These men had been in
very Important positions In Peking,
but were easily captured in Soo Chow.
The chief reformer, Kang Yu Wei, has
fled to Singapore.. The empress dowa
ger has offered $100,000 for his nody,
dead or alive, Kang Wl, who is the
dowager's "high extortlone.r" has an
nounced his purpose to visit the Yang
Tse ports at an early date. We shall
probably hear that many a reformer
who cannot buy his freedom will be
killed. Old Chang Chi Tung, viceroy
of Wu Chang, has recently been pub
licly reproved in scathing terms by tlie
dowager and he may lose his viceroy
alty on the arrival of Kang Wl.
It Is said that there Is an official list,
prepared by the Peking government,
of the names of three hundred re
formers who are proscribed. A special
list of over thirty-five names exists of
those who are to be killed as soon as
they are captured.
The Chinese correspondent in Pek
ing of the North China Daily News,
writes as follows: "We, In Peking,
think the indifference of Western na
tions, especially Great Britain and the
United Slates during a crisis like this,
Is a shame. The subjects of these two
Western nations have bten most earn
est and energetic in trying to introduce
Western civilization and education in
to China. They have succeeded glor
iously. They have obtained most Il
lustrious converts, Including the emper
or and some of the younger princes.
Now they shirk from making even a
mild protest against the actions of the
empress dowager."
SITUATION IN PUERTO RICO, j
Thousands of Natives Leaving the Isl- '
ands. Good Feeling Towards i
Americans Disappearing. j
PONCE, Puerto Rico. April 4. At j
no time since the hurricane of August
8, last, has the condition of the poor
of .Puerto Rico been as bad as It is
today. About 95 per cent of the island
may be placed In the peon class, which
Is made up of a mixture of all races.
In the other five per cent are included
the well to do, educated people, such
us merchants, planters and profession
al men and their families. -This better
class is able to pass through such times
"as are now prevailing without actual
physical suffering, but their business
affairs are at . a standstill and have
been for a long time, and this deprives
on the Lower Columbia.
the majority of the large laboring class
of a means of livelihood.
This large body of laboring people
furnishes the very cheap and effective
labor whkh is needed for agriculture
and other work, but at all times they
have been In an underfed nnd poorly
nourished condition. Their hardships
have been greatly added to by the
scarcity of fruit since the hurricane
and its consequent increa in price.
Salt - fish, rice and beans have been
ImpoNrd free of duty since the hurri
cane, but little of the benefit derived
from this h:s gone to the peons, and
now, when there Is a prospect of 13
per cent of the Pingley tariff bill be
ing placed on these articles, the price
has btvn greatly advanced. Mer
chants hesitate to Import large stocks
because of the prospect of free trade
and the present scarcity is also a cause
for the advance in prices.
Rice has gone up from five and six
centavos a pound to eight and nine;
beans from six to twelve and at one
time, a few days ag), to fifteen centa
vos a pound, while salt fish has ad
vanced trom six centavos to about ten.
No one who understands the situa
tion here will deny that much of the
former good feeling between Puerto
Rlcans and Americans has been lost.
Besides Americans are fewer in num
bers in Puerto Rico today than at any
time since shortly after the troops first
landed and those departing have left a
long list of defunct companies, bank
rupt business, wrecked schemes and
anxious creditors, who, in some cases,
hold choice collections of worthless
notes and checks. Not only are Ameri
cans leaving the Island, but large num
bers of Puerto Ricans have gone to
Venezuela, to Santo Domingo and to
Cuba. Three duys ago more than Sou
natives sailed for Cuba to obtain em
ployment there and at least a thous
and sailed from this port alone during
the last three months. Much livestock
is also being shipped to Cuba. The
greatest loss to Puerto Hico In this
respect Is in the large cargoes of mag
nificent cattle, which it will take years
to replace.
POLITICS IN HAVANA.
Democratic Union Party Afraid
of the Americans Want a
Party Formed.
HAVANA, April 12 The democratic
union party held a meeting to discuss
the question of the advisory board re
ferred to in the recently published pro
gram of the party, which has been
attacked by the opponents of the move
ment. As a result of the meeting a
circular was issued explaining that the
advisory board was intended to be
transitory in nature and only designed
as a means to help the Cubans secure
some voice in the management of af
fairs while the period of intervention
litbteJ. The circular emphatically dis
claimed any Intention, by the insti
tution of an advisory board, to assist in
prolonging the intervention period.
Senor Pierra, one of the lead-is of
the democratic union party, has pub
lished a letter In answer to the persist
ent attacks of the Discussion, a leading
newspaper, upon the members of the
federal party. He says:
"The same men who are now attack
ing the advent of the autonomists In
the political field, were recently en
deavoring to persuade the autonomists
to join thern in forming a purty."
Gualberto Gomez and Manuel San
gullly, leaders of the federal party,
have published a retort to this, In the
course of which they say:
"In private conferences which took
place between ourselves and the leaders
of the democratic union party, ihe lat
ter expressed themselves as being very
distrustful of the Americans, as doubt
ful regarding the fulfillment of the
Joint resolution of congress, and as
confident that ,ln any event, the In
tervention would last many years. The
democratic union leaders said It would
be better to form a party charged with
the care and development of the re
sources of the country and with bring
ing about civic reforms, especially as
everything might end In Cuba not get
ting independence after all. As for
ourselves, our position consists In loy
ally accepting the promises of the
Americans and we shall work for Im
mediate intervention considering every
postponement unjustifiable."
The leaders ot the democratic union
party rejoined with this:
"We have not doubted the sincerity
of the Americans, but we have doubted
their ability to establish a stable gov
ernment In Cuba with the existing lack
of order in the political world and the
general anarchy that prevails amour
the people ml therefore w hav ad
vocated the formation of a compre
hensive party to aid the Americans in
forming a stable government."
Yesterday was the last day for the
Spaniards to register In order to pre
serve their nationality. There was no
particular rush of applicants and con
sequently no mvd to have recourse to
the Issuance of tickets entitling the
holders to return for registration at
some later day. All who applied had
an opportunity to enroll.
