forms on Western Lines Asked For.

HoyG KONG, May 31.-Details regarding
the trouble on the island Of Formosa show
that the action which resulted in the island
declaring itself republic was promoted
by the Chang Chin Tong party, as opposed
20 the Ii family. General Tcheng has
been appointed foreign minister, and Kuh.
Sing Kuk, the originator of the move
ment, has been superseded by Tang.
Discussions have already occurred, and
The common people, IL is stated, regard the
declaration OF republic as an official
dodge. II. B. Morse, the commits.
sioner Of customs at Tamsui, island OF
Formosa, has refused to recognize the re-
publican flag, and the German consul at
Tamsui, addressing Tang as governor of
the island protested against closing the
port OF Tamsui with torpedoes In time OF
peace.
Fighting Again.
Private advices received here arc to the
effect that the japanese are bombarding
Kee Lung town in the extreme north of
Formosa. IL is believed here that the
bombardment is being carried on by the
fleet of the Japanese now supposed to be at
sea in the vicinity of Tamsui.
Five japanese warships arrived at Tam.
sui on May 20, and took soundings in the
harbor without being molested by the gar
rison of the Chinese fort. Only portion
of the soldiers support the republic.
Prior TO the declaration of the republic,
At is stated French cruiser visited Tam
sui and two OF her officers had q secret in
terview with Tang. No impor tance, how.
ever, is attached 10 this fact.
A petition has been forwarded to Pekin
from South China praying the emperor TO
Introduce constitutional reform, TO remove
incapable officials, TO abolish the queue
(pig tail and foot binding, and TO allow
freedom of speech and of the press.
Briefly, the petition advocates reform on
