WASHINGTON, March 19.-Both the
navy and war departments continue
their active preparation for emergency
and contracts in all branches of arm
ament are being made daily by the
various bureaus.
The naval bureau of ordnance has
contracted for 1900, 900 pounds of brown
powder, which is probably the largest
single order ever given. This was
divided between the California Powder
company and the Dupont Powder COM
pany. These concerns together are
furnishing the bureau about 10000
pounds daily and within a week or so
it is expected the capacity of these two
works will be brought up to 10000
pounds of powder daily.
The order is sufficient in the aggre-
gate to give 200 rounds for every gun
aflOat in the American navy and with
this large supply on hand the navy for
the first time in years will be more
than amply supplied with powder.
The naval appropriation bill was
practically completed today by the sub
committee and will be reported to the
full committee on Monday. The var
ious items in the bill have been COW
cred from time to time in these dis
patches. The most important action
taken today was the total elimination
of the features of the bill for the re-
organization of the personnel of the
navy which it was proposed to incorpo-
rate in the appropriation BILL
This step was decided upon after the
conference Assistant Secretary Roose-
welt had with the full committee yes
terday, and with the definite under
standing that the personnel bill would
be considered and pressed in some
shape Immediately after the naval bill
was out of the way.
The committee, however placed in
the bill authorization for ten additional
assistant engineers and fifteen pay Of
ficers who were asked for by the de-
paItment.
The bill will appropriate $4,000 to be
expended during the next fiscal year
on each of the five dry docks author
lied by the bill
Half a million is appropriated for
each of the three battleships.
The military affairs committee Of the
house held a special meeting today to
consider the bill for the reorganization
of the army. The bill, in so far as it
reorganized the army into what is
known as the three battalion forma-
ton, met with the unanimous approval
of the members of the committee.
Some criticism was made of the phrase
ology of that portion of the bill author
iZing the president "in time of war; to
expand the skeleton battalions, and
recruit the regiments and companies
up to the full strength provided for in
the bill"
Several members desired the Ian
guage of the bill to forbid unequivocal-
~ the Strengthening Of the army ex-
cept in time of actual reorganized and
declared war, and this suggestion was
unanimously concurred in, and the
change in the phraseology was ordered.

DYNASTY In GREAT DANGER
THE CHINESE EMPIRE APPEARS
TO BE DISINTEGRATING
Revolt of the Mandarins More Sc
riOus Than Any Movement of Re-
cent Years Aimed at the Emperor
-Englfshmen Asked to Take
in the Orient More Acute

LONDON, March ia special dis
patch from Shanghai received here to-
day, says a conspiracy, with the object
of bringing about rebellion has been
started by the Chinese officials Of va
rious ranks at Chang Sha, in the pro-
vince Of HUI Nan. It Is said to have
spread to all the provinces bordering
on the Yang Use Kiang, and fears are
expressed that it may prove to be the
most formidable since the Tai Ping
rebellion.
1t is professedly a patriotic move
ment to overthrow the Manchu dynasty
and save the central provinces from
European control. But it is suspected
that the plot emanates from the man
darins, who are alarmed at the pros
pect of a diversion of part of their
pickings to pay the interest on the new
loan. The Pekin authorities are cogni-
zant of the move, but distrusting the
loyalty of the provincial satraps, they
are helpless.
The conspirators are said to have ap-
preached British subjects with induce
ments to join in the rebellion, and they
have also offered large sums Of money
for arms.
LONDON, March 19.-There was an
important cabinet conference this
morning in continuation of yesterdays
discussion of the Chinese question. 1t
is reported that Great Britain requests
Russia to give guarantees that the
warships Of the world will be allowed
free Of duty into Port Arthur.
ONSTANTINO PLE, March 19.-In
consequence of the sultan's appeal the
car has consented to withdraw his
demand for the $3,750,000 arrears of the
Russo-Turkish war indemnity, which
his majesty at first insisted should be
paid from the Graeco-Turkish war in
demnity. This fact, it is alleged, fore
shadows Turkeys acceptance Of Prince
George, Of Greece, the candidate of
the car, as governor Of the island Of
Crete.
PEKIN, March 19.-The recent mac
tivity of the Russians at Pekin is eX-
planned by the fact that the negotia-
tions have again been transferred to
st. Petersburg, owing to the difficulty
encountered here. The coincidence of
the French demands being presented
on the eve Of the mission Of the Chi
nese loan in London is much comment
ed upon, and it Is asserted that France
and Russia are trying their best to
wreck the loan.
The general opinion here is that 1t
is impossible to disregard the persistent
rumors circulating in well-in-
formed circles, that Russia has aban-
doned her attempts to lease Port Ar
thur but has not ceased her negotia-
tons regarding Tai Lien Wan.
PEKIN, March 1s.-China, It is said,
has offered to lease to Russia Ia Lien
Wan and to allow the proposed rail-
way from pelturs to Kiang Chang Tu
Mukden and Port Arthur to be con-
structed, provided Port Arthur remains
in China's hands.
1t was rumored yesterday that the
Chinese government is increasing the
Port Arthur garrison by 300 men and
