FALL OF AN EMPEROR
CHINESE MONARCH DEPOSED
BY HIS MOTHER.
Was Too Progressive to Suit the Empress
Ii Hung Chang VIII be Returned
To Power Reforms are Now
impossible.

Perllin, Sep. 23.-An important edict
just issued definitely Announces that
the Emperor OF China has resigned S
power to the empress (dowager en-
press), who has ordered the ministers
to deliver to her in future their official
reports.
1t is difficult to obtain reliable infor-
nation at the palace in regard to the
preceding, but the recent reformatory
edicts probably caused the change.
While the emperor was subservient
and mere fgurehead, the dowager
empress permitted him to remain in
peace, but as soon as he attempted to
act on his own initiative, his practical
deposition was the result. His prin-
cipal adviser, Kapg Yomoi, the Canton
ese reformer, fed in spite of the vigor-
our attempts made to arrest him, and
il is said he is now on his way to
Shanghai.
The effect Of the change must be
great. In all probability Ii Hung
Chang will be reinstated in power and
Russian influence will increase. The
hopes of reform so ardently cherished
by the intelligent factions of the
Chinese are now impossible of fulfill
ment.
The suddeness of the coup is said to
be due to the desire of the dowager
empress to prevent the mission of the
Marquis Ito from being successful
The japanese statesman recently came
to Pekin with the object of trying to
bring about an alliance, offensive and
defensive, between Japan and China.
The new order ,of things will un-
doubtedly prejudice British interests
in China.
1t is reported that the next edict will
! give the full reason for the change.
The wording of the present edict is
not yet obtainable. but it is to the eff
feet that the emperor requested the
| dowager empress to assume power,
this being the third time the request
has been made.
| The Marquis Ito, in an interview be-
| fore the edict was issued, said the en-
peror received him yesterday in the
most cordial manner and said he hoped
to have the advantage of the advice of
the marquis in the reforms which his
majesty intended to undertake. The
marquis, even then, feared that the
naction and conservatism of the
Chinese officials would 'nullify the re.
forms, although he believed the en-
peror was acting in good faith.
London, Sept. 24.-According to q
special dispatch received from Pekin,
members Of the European community
there believe the life of the emperor
of China is in danger 1t is added that
the dowager empress desires to place
Prince Kwang's grandson on the
throne. The emperor realizes the
strength of the conspiracy against hin
and has ordered the guards at the
palace to be strengthened.

SUPPLIES FOR cuBANs.
Spanish Authorities Decide to Admit Thorn
Free of Duty.

Washington, Sept 26.-A statement
has been issued by the war department
that the Cuban commission has eff
fected an arrangement with the Span
ish authorities whereby the steamer
Comal, carrying a cargo of supplies for
the suffering people of Cuba, would be
permitted to land her cargo at Matan-
zas free of duty. This indicates the
adjustment of question that prom
ised for several days to become serious.
The Spanish authorities, stin maintain
'ng Spain's right of sovereignty over
the island of Cuba, refused to permit
the Comal to land at Havana without
the imposition upon her cargo Of dut ties
amounting to 500, 900. In addition to
this, the vessels captain was fined for
disregarding some port regulations un-
known to him.
Against this proceeding the Ameri-
can commission strongly protested and
demanded the free importation of the
Comal's cargo of supplies. 1t was
pointed out to the Spauiards that the
mission of the vessel was purely char
liable, and that in any event, the po-
sttion assumed by the Spanish officials
was untenable, as it was not in ac-
cordapce with the provisions of the
protocol signed in this city by Ambas-
sador Cambon in the name of Spain.
The incident resulted in an exchange
between the American commission and
the Spanish officials of lively notes,
and the question was finely referred
to Washington for adjustment. The
arrangement made affects the Comal
only. She is now at Key West and
will sail for Matanzas probably today.

DETHRoNEMENT AND DEATH.
Believed That the Chinese Emperor Has
Been Murdered.

Hongkong, Sept. 26.-Although there
is no positive information, it is gem
orally believed here that the deposed
emperor is dead 1t is said he died
directly after he issued the edict Civ
ing the dowage the regency.
Nobody doubts that Yang and Chang
Yen Hoon, who was minister at Wash-
ngton in 1898 are both innocent of the
charge of poisoning the emperor.
Shanghai, Sept. 26.--Chang Yen
Hoon, the Cantonese enemy and rival
of Ii Hung Chang, who is charged
with harboring Kang Yu Wei, has
been arrested. He is now under trial
by the board of punishment. He will
be stripped of all of his Offices and his
removal gives increased power to Ii
Hung Chang.
The officials generally welcome the
empress return to power, but the peo-
pie are different. Kang Yu Wei is
charged with conspiring against the
empress dowager and has been de-
clared an outlaw and his arrest has
been ordered
special dispatch from Shanghai
says that Kang Yu Wei's brother has
been arrested in Pekin and condemned
to death. The dispatch also says that
Sir Claude Mcdonald, the British min
lister, gave instructions that Kang Yu
Wei should be protected from arrest.
The British consulate holds his bag
gage and documents referring to state
secrets. The Russians are incensed at
the latter fact and it is reported that
Russia has offered the dowager en-
press the services of 10, 900 troops from
Port Arthur to keep order in Pelxin if
necessary. 1t is said that the British
fleet in Chinese waters has been
divided between Ia Ku and Shan Hal
Kwan, under orders to intercept Rus
sian transports in the event of an at
tempt to land troops

cabinet, all the ministers being pres
ent, decision was taken in favor of
the revision of the trial of former Cap
tain Dreyfus and the documents in the

Justic M. Sarrien, to lay before the
court of cessation the petition of Ma
dame Dreyfus, wife of the prisoner of
Devils island, for revision of her hus-
bands case The court, therefore, will
decide the legal question as to whether
the first trial of Captain Dreyfus was
vitiated by the forgery committed by
the late Lieutenant Colonel Henry,
who was a witness before the court
martial and who confessed to having
forged document in the case.
The minister of justice has announced
that he has given instructions that
proceedings are to be taken immedi-
ately against any one attacking the

Madrid, Sept 27.--Dulre Almodovar
de Rio, minister of foreign affairs,
states that the Spanish commissioners
have been instructed to contend strong
ly for the integrity of Spanish SOW
ereignty in the Philippines, on the
ground that the protocol between
Spain and the United States was signed
before Manila capitulated; and also to
make firm stand regarding the Cuban
debt and the Philippine loan of 1896,
if Luzon is ceded to America.
Should the United States prove less
exacting than is expected, the commits
sioners have power to make all possi-
BILE concessions, commercial and politi-
cal, compatible with the retention of
Spanish sovereignty in the Philippines;
but in the event of losing portion of
the islands, they are instructed to re-
sist to the utmost any attempt of the
United States to claim the right of
preference over other powers, should
Spain desire to sell or cede the remain
