Already the Soldiers Excel in Drill
and Discipline.
GOOD WORK OF GEN. YUAN
Special Cor. dependence of The Evening Star.

Special Cor. espondence of The Evening Star.
T1ENTSIN, China, April ~, 1899.
Prime Minis -er Jung Lu has recently re-
viewed the Chinese imperial army at Hsiao
Chan-a fact of the most profound signifi-
canoe in the affairs of China. 1t marks the
awakening of the empire to the need of a
great modern army with which to repel the
crowding of the nations of Europe. The re-
view of Jung Lu was the first attention tina t
the government at Picking has given this
new army.
Could the people of the great foreign ma
tons have seen the splendid showing of
these Chinese troops on this grand review
II must have transformed their general idea
that the Chinese are unable to do orderly
and thoroughly the things that belong to
modern civilization. Could they have viewed
for single hour 5000 men moving so ex-
actly in unison to the calls of the trumpet
or to the rapidly given orders of a single
voice, and that the voice of a Chinese, that
their every step on the hard, smooth clay
was like a single mighty drum beat and
every noise of arms like a single mighty
crash, it alone would have been object les
son enough to give the world a new idea of
the possibilities of the Chinese race.
Where the Army Was Born.
This army, officially named the new i'm
perial army" has its camp at Hsiao Chan,
about twenty miles east of Tientsin, mid
way between it and the sea, and a few
miles south of the Pei Ho.. This point has
been for many years a military post, and
for miles about are the ruins of the mud
walls of barracks of long ago, looking like
SO many prehistoric ruins.
The plain from the sea to Tientsin is al
most a perfect level. and the grand parade
ground at Hsiao Chan, about a mile long
and half mile wide. is most of the year as
smooth and hard a table.
Three years ago, in Dec mber, 1895, about
a year after the war with Japan, a few
thousand raw recruits quartered at Hsiao
Chan were put under command of Yuan
Shin Kai, commonly called Gen. Yuan,
whose rank is, however, civil and not mill
tary. Previous to the war with Japan Yuan
was for nine years minister to Corea, hav-
ing been promoted to that position on ac-
count of exceptional bravery and ability
shown in 1884, when at the head of COM
pany Of Chinese soldiers he entered the
Corean capital, drove out the japanese and
saved the Corean kings life. At that time
he had been for three years a civil officer
connected with a Chinese military guard
stationed at the Corean capital At pres

ent he holds the same high rank that must
be held by the viceroy of a province, and he
was, in fact, acting viceroy of this province
of Chilli for ten days at the time of the late
change of government at Picking. To this
man is directly due the high character of
this army and the fine showing that it is
able to make. Among all her officials China
has no better man.
The Best Man in China.
Timothy Richard, one Of the best known
men in China, said to the writer a few
months $50: yuan is the best man in
China; he is man who Is bound to rise"
Lord Charles Beresford, one of England s
military authorities, who has lately made
an extended tour of observation in China,
and before whom there was given just such
a review and sham battle as has since been
seen by Jung Lu, said in private converse
ton:
81 have met one man in China, and that
man is Yuan"
Two things mark this man-great execu-
tive ability and strict integrity. The former
Is probably as common in China as else
where. but nothing has been more rare in
high places than the latter. All the world
