Revolution Nears Capital.
Pekin— W ith a revolution nearing
the gates o f Pekin, the government
has partly abandoned its efforts to
minimize the situation, and it now ad
mits not only that the republican up
rising has gone beyond the confines e f
the more centra) provinces, but that
the entire imperial army is honey
combed with disaffection. N ot a di
vision is absolutely to be trusted, it is
said in Pekin.
The revolutionists are well organ
ized and have formally proclaimed the
republic.
It is reported here that the
president chosen is L i Yuen Hung,
lieutenant commander o f the new im
perial army, though it is believed that
i f this is so his election is temporary.
Dr. Sun Y a t Sen is still regarded as
the man who eventually w ill have the
place. Dr. Sen was reported to be-in
the United States recently, but is said
by some to have returned to China, by
way o f Singapore, which for some
time past has been headquarters for
the revolutionists.
Hankow has been ravaged by out
laws, who are not connected with the
revolution,
and the
revolutionary
authorities are making every effort to
restore order. The announcement was
promulgated officially that rioters
caught m acts o f lawlessness w ill be
dealt with summarily.
The revolu
tionary army is strongly entrenched
and it is the policy o f the heads o f the
movement to give protection to foreign
ers o f all nationalities, hoping thereby
to demonstrate that they have the situ
ation in hand and to win sympathy
from abroad.
It is no secret here
that the dynasty is regarded with
more or less contempt by the repre
sentatives o f other governents, and
the consuls are continuing their policy
of insisting upon strict neutrality.
The rebels are under command o f
General Li Tuan Hong, who is an ac
complished m ilitary strategist, and
are otherwise well officered, despite
reports to the contrary circulated by
the government.
