Arrived at Alkl Point, orders were

The Miiuke poured from her two
large stacks In dense columns, as she
fairly flew through the blue waters

into the air from her bow. Over to

Serious Uprising in the Interior
Provinces.
THE GOVERNMENT IS GREATLY ALARMED
General Tune; Pu SUn, Commander of the
Northern Armlei, It at the Head
ol the Movement.
riCKlN. April 10.Tbo rumors
which have been current during tho
past few days of the outbreak of a
rebellion, headed by General Tung Fu
4lan. tho ex-commander of the North
ern army. In the provinces of Moti
golla and Hhn-8I. have been abso
lutely authenticated.
LI Hung Chang and Prince Chlng
have received Information on the
subject which, though Indefinite, still
proves that the court Is seriously
alarmed.
General Fu Slan was. according to
last accounts, shout 150 miles from
tho court with II.OOO regular troops,
all supposed to be devoted to himself.
The court hns about tho same number
of soldiers at Blngan Fu. but It Is
probable that the troops of Tung Fu
Blan are better drilled and better
armed. It Is believed that the Mon
gollan rebellion wss brought about
through the agents of Prince Tuan
and General Tung Fu Slan. LI Hung
Chang thinks there are about t.000
iregulur troops In Monirolla. and in.
icllnes to the belief that they havw
jnot Joined In the rebellion. He doea
snot think the court Is In any danger,
(and thinks tho object of Prince Tuan
) (who was lust reported at Nlng Hsu
Slan with lO.OOti men prepared to re
j slst arreBt) and General Tung Fu Slan
Is to create a diversion of Intercut in
, order to force unconditional protcc
1 tion of themselves.
I Unofficial Chinamen of Intelligence
! regard tho rising as most unfortunato
j at the present time to the Interests of
China, and as of possibly meaning tho
!use of foreign troops to protect even
j the court Itself, The ministers of tho
powers do not think that, provided
I foreign Interests do not suffer, any
present mierrerenco is likely. If tho
dynnsty should bo overthrown, It
would, to a certain eitent. delay the
peace negotla! Ions, but they consider
that a regime not bound by traditions
like those of the present court prob
ably would be much easier to deaf
with eventually, as tho ceremonial
could be much curtailed.
Prince Chlng. who. as a relative,
may be considered to take the court
view of the situation, thinks tho re
bellion Is a storm in a teapot. Ho
says tho present court Is loved ami
esteemed by nine tenths of the pop
ulatlon of China, and that tho same
proportion of ablo-bodled men In '
China would rise to protect tho ex
isting dynasty. The empress dow-
ager, as the adviser of the emperor,
holds the affections of the people, not
dreamt of and not understood by for
eigners. Her slightest wish Is tho em
peror's Inw, though he Is by no tm-ans
a flgureheal, as the foreign powers
frequently suppose. The emperor rec
ognizes her ability, Invaluable aid
and advice.
The remaining bodies of Americans
wero shipped homeward this morn
ing. They now number 64, and will
leave on board the transport Egbert
tomorrow. Vhe Egbert will also take
27 military prisoners, a number of
sick men, the discharged soldiers, tho
teamsters and other civilians em
ployed. According to expert opinion, China
would be able to pay from 20.000,000
to 30.000.000 without crippling her
financial resources, while the amounts
which tho powers at present demand
rango from 80,000.000 to 100,00,

English" Girls Apply by Hundreds for

NEW YORK, April 10. A rather un
expected result 'has followed Mr.
Chamberlain's recent speech In sup
port of tho scheme for sending women
out to South Africa, at tho conclusion
of the war. says tho London corre
spondent of tho Tribune. An enor
mous number of letters hns been re
