REGENERATION OF CHINA.
Reform Clubs Organized By the Pro.
gressive Chinese.

Correspondence of the Associated Press
Shanghai, China, May l2.-After the
China-Japanese war, several reform
clubs were projected by influential Chi
nese, looking toward the renovation of
Chinese politics. One of these societies
was gathering great power when it
overshot the mark and was summarily
annihilGted by the throne.
At the present date a formidable or
ganization of progressive Chinese is be-
ing organized throughout the empire.
1t is to be a national organization,
with branches in each city and town.
In one sense it is progressive. and in
another it is retrogressive. The cor
respondent has reliable information
from most prominent sources that the
organization has the patronage of the
most prominent men in the new China.
The hopeful feature about this pa
triotic association is that it's cardinal
principle is the preservation of the en-
pire. Patriotism has been almost de-
funct for years and this is an attempt
to rouse the people. The reactionary
feature of the movement is its hatred
of all things foreign.

Aside from the men and officers max
ing up the expedition, the boats carried
vast quantity of supplies, ammuni-
ton and war equipment, necessary to
maintain an organization of this size
for at least 60 days.
LANDING THE TROOPS.
Every detail for the landing of this
party has been worked out by the en-
gineer corps of the army. 1t will be a
laborious process at best, and will take
full day or more. The point of land
ing has been chosen that there is little
danger of an interruption from the
Spanish forces, but should they at
tempt to make trouble, Admiral Samp-
sons ships will insure ample protection
until the troops can care for them
selves.
1t will be noticed that by far the
larger portion of the expedition is made
up of infantry, although an unusually
large number of artillery is included;
and that the cavalry is almost alto
gether lacking. 1t is expected, how
ever, that the dismounted cavalry with
the expedition will be mounted later in
Cuba, either from the stock of native
horses or from mounts that will follow
them from this country. Owing to the
mountainous and jungle like character
of the country back of Santiago, where
the troops must operate, there will be
little opportunity for the use of cavalry,
so that the expedition has not been
weakened in the opinion of experts by
the cavalry mounts at the
beginning of the campaign.
