A Spirit of Rebellion ,Pervades tn,
Ranks of the 21st-

Lexington, KY, Sept. 23.-Col. Fitch
of the Twenty-first Kansas regiment,
when pressed for a statement concern
ing the reported trouble over the re-
voking of the order mastering out the
regiment, said:
1T is perfectly absurd to think that
the men of this regiment would do any
thing which would bring the name of
their state into disrepute. The regiment
is made UP of substantial men from the
better walks of life. There are "a school
teachers, nearly as many editors sew
eraI lawyers, doctors and men of other
professions and you may be assured
that these men will stand by the regi-
ment through thick and thin. They
signed the muster rolls Obligating them
selves to do service for the United
States for two years, and every man of
them will do this.
1.-The statement that or any of the
other officers remained away from
camp because we were threatened by
the men is without foundation. I was
here in my tent and 1 believe all the
other officers were"
Col. Fitch is backed by nearly all the
other officers. There are a number of
non-commissioned officers who want to
get home to their business and families.
1t is the same with many privates
That the threat to cut the tents to
pieces on next Saturday night unless
the original order stood to send them
home is carried OUT has caused some
uneasiness among them there can be no
doubt. Several officers who have in the
ranks relatives and particular friends
visited their friends and asked that the
men be made to understand that any
such action would cast an odium on the
state never to be erased.
The men were told that should such
a thing be attempted Gen. Sanger would
call out other regiments, arrest and i'm
prison them and to further humiliate
them he would place over them a regi-
ment of cOlOred soldiers.

1t is difficult to obtain reliable infor-
nation at the palace in regard to the
proceedings, but the recent reformatory
edicts probably caused the change.
While the emperor was subserVlent
and a mere fgurehead, the dowager
empress permitted him to remain in
peace, but as soon as he attempted to
act upon his own initiative his practical
deposition was the result. His princi-
pal adviser, Kang Yumoi, the Cantonese
reformer, fed, in spite of the vigorous
attempts to arrest him, and it 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 concessions will increase. Hopes
of reform so ardently cherished by the
intelligent factions of the Chinese are
now impossible of fulfllment-
The suddenness of the coup is said to
be due to the desire of the dowager en-
press to prevent the mission of the
Marquis Ito from being successful. The
Japanese statesman recently came to
PeI1in with the object of trying to
bring about an allyance, offensive and
defensive. between Japan and China.
The new order of things will undoubt-
ed1v prejudice British interests in Chi
ma
It 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, in effect, 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 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 in
tended to undertake.
The marquis, even then, feared that
the inaction and conservatism of the
reforms, although he believed the en-
peror was acting in good faith.
His Life in Danger.
London, Sept. 23.-According to spec
ial dispatches received from Pekin,
members of the European community
there believe the life of the emperor of
China is in danger. It is added that
the dowager empress desires to place
Price Kung's grandson on the throne.
The emperor, it is added, realizes the
strength of the conspiracy against him
and has ordered the guards at the pal
ace to be strengthened.
The Imperial Edict.

cal condition of Chinese affairs, ne calls
back to power the empress dowager
and commits to her hands the direction
of the vast affairs of the empire. The
edict, freely translated from the cipher
cable, is as follows:
Nov that China is disturbed, and
there is need that all business shall be
done, we, the emperor, agitated from
morning to evening for the welfare of
all affairs and fearful lest errors may
occur, observing from the beginning of
the reign of Tung Chi that the empress
dowager had twice given instructions to
the emperor each time with signal abil-
fty and success, so we now, considering
the important interests of the empire
have begged the empress dowager to
give to the emperor the benefit of her
ripe experience and her instruction.
The dowager empress has been pleased
to accede to this request.
Therefore it is to the good fortune Of
the whole empire that this suspicious
event is brought about, From today
the empress dowager conducts the bus
mess in the imperial apartments and
on the 8th day of the present month,
Chinese calendar, meaning today Eng
lish calendar, we take all the princes
and minister to perform the ceremony
in Chin Chung palace. Let the yamen,

ny may be performed with fitting hon

crossing Satisfactorily.

San Juan. Porto Rico, Sept. 23.-Ev-

the island of Porto Rico by the Spanish
troops is proceeding satisfactorily. The

as they quit the towns.
Preparations are being made for an
elaborate and impressive ceremony

San Juan.
The military commission has ad-
journed until Monday next.
The lights on the north coast of the
island which have been dark since the
war began, have been relighted by the
Spaniards, except at San Juan, where
the light house was destroyed in the
bombardment by the fleet under Rear
Admiral Sampson. The lights of the
city warn mariners approaching the

PECK MAKES A HIT.
By Connecting the Names of Lafay
cite and Cambon.

Washington. Sept. 23.-An agreeable
impression has been created in cOnnec-
ton with the arrival at Paris of the
United States commissioner to the
Worlds fair, Mr.. Ferdinand Peck, ac-
cording to word received here. The
French press is much pleased with
speech of Mr.. Peck's in which he linked
together the names of Lafayette and
Cambon, the present ambassador at
Washington, in the following words:
Lafayette and Cambon:
The knight of liberty of the eigh-
teenth century and the wise diplomat Of
the nineteenth century. The fraternity
inaugurated by the immortal Lafayette
more than a hundred years ago is again
cemented by the friendly diplomacy of
the ambassador of France in promoting
the blessings of peace that have come
after our recent struggle with a for
eign foe"
Mr.. Peck's plan for erecting at Paris
a monument to Lafayette, as one of the
features of the exposition, also is at
tracing much favorable comment with
the officials and public generally at
Paris, and altogether it is said the
friendly sentiments between the two
republics is being made more apparent
than ever.

SPAIN WILL HANG ON.
Has No Intention of Surrenderine
Any of the Philippines.

Madrid, Sept. 23.-General August,
the former captain general of the Phil
ippine islands, who has just arrived at
Victoria, Spain, from Manila, in an in
terview, is quoted as discussing the
Philippine question in an interesting
manner. He is alleged to have said:
Before I left Spain the situation in
the Philippines was grave. Senior Mo-
ret remarked to me that if war with the
United States broke out there would be
a terrible state of things
Continuing, General August de-
scribed Admiral Montejo's fleet as some
''old wooden Ships" and said they
''came to Manila practically pursued by
Dewey"
He then said:
''Our batteries fired at the Americans,
but our guns were mounted on false
plates, and after the first shots they
became useless. At day break we were
in the power of the Americans and an
hour afterwards the Spanish fleet had
ceased to exist.
Dewey summoned me to surrender

town. replied: 'Raze it, but so long
as live the Spanish flag will float on

longer necessary I asked the govern
ment for permission to go home, as my
position had become by no means easy
I think I have done my duty as a sold

The ministerial newspapers protest
against the supposition that the United
States will keep the Philippine islands
They maintain that Spain's rights to
these islands are incontestable and
that she is resolved to defend her
rights with the greatest energy"
The government papers also contend
that terms of the peace protocol con-
firm Spain's right to the island of Lu-
zon and the rest of the Philippine is
lands. and they declare that if the Unit
ed States bases its claim on humanity
and civilization, Spain will prove that
there is no higher civilization in any OF
the Asiatic colonies than in the Span
ish colonies in Asia.
The rurnor that the Rothschilds are
to lend Spain a large sum of money
when the treaty of peace is signed is
denied here. Officials of the Spanish
government claim that the Bank of

The going of Gen. Miller leaves the

is very likely that a general officer will

that place. The appointment of anoth-

of France, Germany and Italy will be
abroad, leaving only Great Britain and
Russia with their ambassadors in
