CHINA'S INSURRECTION.
AN OFFICIAL RSPORT MADE BY
MINISTER DENNY.

Over 5000 of the Rebels Killed by
the Imperial Troops With a Loss of
Only 100 on Their Own Side-The
Outbreak Not an Anti Christian
Movement.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE reports re-
garding the recent instruction in China
have been SO contradictory that Minister
Denby has reported to the department of
state the facts thereof. prepared with care.
The locality of the rebellion is in the north
ern part of the province Of Chinli, sometimes
given rs Cheele and Pecheelee, In which
province is situated the city OF Pekin, capi-
tai Of the empire. Ministsr Denby says:
various causes have been assigned
for this uprising, many incorrectly,
and many of exaggerated pro-
portions. The foreign residents Of
Pekin have never been caused the uneasi-
ness which some cablegrams sent abroad
have Indicated. Antagonism to Christian
ity was not the cause OF the rebellion, but
more the depredations OF organized bands
or robbers, suoh as are usual every year
north of the great wall, to some degree
This year these bands had of their number
many Taoist priests who are supposed to be
able TO protect their associates from the bull
let's Of an enemy. The missionaries at Tsun-
hua were in great danger, and upon order
or tue local authorities they were compelled
to abandon their missions and take refuge
in Tien-Tsin.
TWELVE HUNDRED MAsSACRED.
There have doubtless been about |, 200
Catholics killed, owing to the fact that they
lived north of the great WALL where con-
verts to the Catholic religion comprise most
of the population. When the uprising got
under way it took the form OF a revolt
against the relgning dynasty, and was un-
der the leadership Of Mich Cheng Wang
prince Overthrow Of the Chingsl as he
styled himself, Ching being the dynastic
loss of these insurgents IN killed
and capsnred has been about 5000,
while the loss to the troops of the Chinese
government has been less than 100 The
vigorous action of the imperial troops rem
ders further disturbance unlikely. The
losses to the people of the northeastern
part OF the province have been severe, as
usual, from both the insurgents and troops.
1t has been saying among these people for
many years: Fear not the tiger which
comes from the south, but fear the chicken
which comes from the north" and as the
power of proverbs is very strong among
the Chinese the rebel troops carried banners
on which were displayed a painted or en-
broidered cock, thus hoping to enlist many
by the idea that the northern force could
and would overthrow the present emperor.
AN OLD FULFILLMENT.
"The fulfillment Of this prophecy is said
TO be illustrated in the fate OF Shih-Kwang-
TT, who built the great wall, and who was
one Of China's greatest emperors, viz. that
his empire would be endangered by Hu.
He devoted his efforts, therefore, to the con.
quering OF the northern tribes, who were
known as Hu. Yet the prophecy was real
lied in his assassination by his son
and successor. The present insur-
rection is regarded now as suppressed
and the officers aud soldiers have been
commended officially for overthrowing the
rebellion"

Significance of the Senste's Action on
Quay's Resolution.
WASHINGTON, Feb 17.-President Diaz
was SO disturbed by Senator Quay's resolu-
ton looking to the acquisition Of the
northern tier Of Mexico that he instructed
Minister Romero to do all that he could to
have it killed, Minister Romero could, OF
course. do nothing officially or directly ex-
cept to protest at the state department, but
as the ablest diplomat in Washington, as
well as dean of the diplomatic corps, he has
such personal influence that his private
representations to members of the Senate
foreign relations committee would have
weight. The result of his efforts was seen
to-day when the committee reported Senator
Quay's resolution adversely 30 that
II might be killed in open Senate and not
harbored in committee. but reported at the
same time a resolution for the return of the
captured Mexican flags at West Point de-
signed, to emphasize the friendliness Of our
government to Mexico. Nevertheless the
Quay resolution has arrested the reciprocity
negotiations with Mexico. and it may, IL
Senator Quay on his return makes a fight
for it, create more trouble
