DISCOVERED A CONSPIRACY
Elaborate Preparations Made to Start a
Revolution in Canton.
LARGE CONSIGNMENT OF ARMS CAPTURED
scvcnty-Fivc of the Conspirntors Cap
turcd-PIot Was brought To Light
by the United states Consul
Christians Implicated.

BOSTON, Dec 5.-Mail advices recaived
by reliable persons in this city from Canton,
give details of an tempt to capture the
city Of Canton by secret organization for
the purpose of establishing an indeps sndent
government
The writer says: "The plot was exposed
October %, when the attention Of the United
States consul was called to a suspicious tele-
gram from Hong Kong firm to its branch
10 Canton, concerning the shipment Of certain
packages. The authorizes were notified and
the packages, which proved to be five barrels
Of pistols and ammunition Labelled cement.
were seized on their arrival On the same
steamer from Hong Kong came 400 men who
expected to aid in the revolt The officials,
however captured seventy-fve of them. The
revolutionists had no weapons, but it was
learned that they were TO be supplied by
friends in the city. This seizure of arms
and the capture of those implicated com
pletely thwarted the attempt, and the au-
thorties are now making diligent search for
the leader, as well as for the weapons 1t
is said there are thousands in sympathy
with the movement.
"The Hong Kong people speak of it as
patriotic movement and worthy of support.
The plan of the organization, which originated
in Hong Kong, and was taken up in Canton,
was first to capture the city treasury next
to demolish the viceroy's palace. By this
time they would expect sufficient aid to storm
the city. They next expected TO proclaim
an independent government, and to take
to hold the city.
"The movement has involved the Christians
to a considerable extent, and great excite
ment prevails. and especially inside the city
near the chapel, which had been used. un-
known to the missionaries. as sort of
rendezvous for some of the conspiratcrs."

LOOKS FOR HIS RELEASE TODAY.
Coulter Says His bail Bond VIII BE
Furnished This Morning.

Coulter Says His Bail Bond VIII BE
Furnished This Morning.
1t lacked but few minutes to o'clock
yesterday afternoon when Jerome Coulter
and his guard arrived in Judge Berka's court
| room. He wore a satisfied smile and an
| nounced to those around him that he had at
length succeeded in securing bail in the sum
Of $4,000 for his appearance in the district
court at a later date. Substantial evidence
to support this fact however, he failed to
produce, and qualified his first statement by
adding that he had the positive promise of
four solid business men to appear at the po-
Ice station and sign the document in the
morning. The officer who accompanied
Coulter yesterday confirmed Coulters state
ments as to his having received promises
from certain parties to go on the bond.
1t incidentally leaked out in the conversa-
tion that the three bondsmen whom Coulter
had already upon the paper had grown faint
hearted at the last moment and had with
drawn their names from the document The
names Of the men who are said to be willing
and anxious to back their capital against
Coulter's honor and honesty were seduously
withheld from the public, not even a list of
them being handed to Judge Berka. 1t was
stated that each man in question would qualify
for S25, 900 and that they would positively ap-
pear and act their parts before the police
Judge in the morning.
Coulter seemed overjoyed at the prospect
of an early release, as his long confinement
appears to have worried him to large ex-
tent. The rotund form Of the ex-deputy city
treasurer has not fallen off any in the mat
ter of avordupois, but many new wrinkles
have made their appearance upon his fore
head and his face is seldom free from
constant expression of care The prisoner
left the court roam with a light step, and
repeated that the bond would assuredly be
made out in proper form in the morning.
and that there would be no question as to his
friends being present.
