REBELLION IN CHINA
Confirmation of Report Of Defeat of
Imperial Troops.
TO OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT
Thousands of Bodies Recovered
From River and Buried.
SUN YAT SEN A LEADER

HONG KONG, July 1.-THE defeat of the
imperial troops near Woo Chow is confirm
ed. Thousands of bodies have been recov-
cred from the river and have been buried
at Woo Chow. The losses Of the imperial
force are probably more than 1,50O killed,
" hich was the number first announced.
1t is reported here that the Chinese doc
tor, Sun Vat Sen, who was inveigled into
the Chinese embassy in London in 1896 and
imprisoned there until he succeeded in notf-
flying the British government officials
through friend, that he had been kid
naped, is among the leaders of the present
rebellion.
1t is said the rebels have decided not to
advance further than Shue Hing, above
Sans Hui, fearing foreign complications in
the event of Canton being attacked.
The credibility of this report is question
ed, as the inhabitants of Canton are great
ly in sympathy with the rebels.
Sun Yat SENS History.
NEW YORK, July 14.-Sun Yat Sen, a
Chinese doctor, was kidnapped by the off,
Gals Of the Chinese legation in London in
1896. He succeeded in communicating with
the British government and was eventual
ly released on the demand of the Marquis
Of Salisbury.
The doctor said he was the leader Of the
conspiracy at Canton in October, 1875, to
establish a constitution for China. The So
ciety to which he belonged was called the
Hing g-ChungWooy, meaning Chinese Pro-
gressive Society" 1t is alleged to have a
powerful organization in America with a
center at San Francisco and headquarters
IN New York.
The American chief was said to be Wal
ter Fong of Stamford, Conn, the first
Chinaman to be graduated by an American
university, and his principal colleagues
were alleged to be graduates Of Yale, Har-
ward and other universities.
Overthrow Government.
Investigation in New York showed that
Sun Yet Sens statements were practically
correct One of the best known Chinese
merchants here said the Hing Chung Wooy
had for it's object the overthrow of the
present government in China and the sub
stitution of a republican form of govern
ment. He asserted that in the United
States alone its adherents could be num-
bered with six figures.
Another leading Chinese merchant was
quoted as saying: When the time comes
to strike blow for the overthrow of the
present dynasty and the formation of a re-
public, on American lines, the system OF
government now existing in China will re-
ceive d severe shock, and l think We will

President Mckinley and Secretary Alger.
after a long conference this afternoon, be-
lieve that the Spaniards are now capitu-
latirg, and that the surrender Of Santiago
ay be arranged at any minute. Secretary
Alger made this statement to a Star re-
porter this afternoon.
Spanish and American commissioners are
now comforting upon the matter, and the
administration is confident that this con-
ference is formality desired by the Span
iards prior to surrender.
The story of the day at the White House
is a long and intensely interesting one
About 11.15 o'clock Gen. Corbin came to
the White House with telegram from
Gen. Shafter. saying that the Spaniar5s de-
sired the appointment of American COM
nissioners to arrange terms of surrender,
the Spanish having already selected theirs

Skaters Authority.
Questions to BE Settled.

The proposed commission is said to be
no novelty in warfare, and especially in
such cases as this, where complex consid-
erations are involved. The proposition to
remove the Spanish army in Santiago, di-
vided as it Is between several towns re-
mote from one another, to secure the re-
moval of dangerous distractions in ports.
to arrange the details of transportation OF
this army, to provide, in fact, in the MI
nutest detail for the treatment Of the BUR
rendered army, involves SO many factors
that considerable time might very properly
be expended in adjusting them.
In some quarters 1t was declared that
the Spanish proposition was simply an
other scheme on the part of General Toral
to gain time, he being fully aware Of the
uncomfortable and dangerous position of
the American troops from a sanitary point
of view, and realizing that every days de-
lay but added to their misery. However,
If that is his purpose he will not succeed
in his object.
