London. Oct 15.-The Shanghai cor
respondent of The Morning Post wir-
ing Saturday, describes four distinct
agitations-in Kwang Tung, Kwang
81, Sze Chuan and the Yang Use re-
glon--all OF which are anti-dynastic
rather than anti-foreign. IF Sun Yat
Sen is successful in the SOUTH" says
the correspondent, "and his rebellion
spreads over the Yang Use region, he
VIII probably be aided by Prince Tuan,
Tung Flu Hsiang and the Mohamme-
dan leaders in the northwest"
The Chinese imperial troops, accord
ing to a dispatch to The Daily Chron-
icle from Hong Kong, dated yester-
day, have recaptured Wei Chou, on
East river, where Sun Vat Sen, the
reformer, had raised his flag, and have
scattered the rebels.
The Standard publishes mail advices
from Tien Tsin giving a list Of "a docu-
ments that were seized in the yamen Of
the viceroy after the capture of the
city and fell into the hands of the
correspondents before the military au-
thorities had seized the yamen. These
include receipts for money paid to
Boxer generals for supplies to their
troops Of every kind, reports of ac-
tions and lists of casualties and re-
wards paid to generals and the fam
ilies of the killed, all clearly proving
that the authorities maintained the
Boxers movement by lavish expendi-
ture.
From Canton it is reported that the
kwang 81 rebels have defeated the inn
perial troops on the borders Of Kwang
Tung and that Gen. Su has resigned in
consequence of his request for rein
forcements being ignored.
Some Chinese soldiers desecrated the
cemetery for foreigners at Nam Shih
Tu, near Canton. and the viceroy had
the offenders decapitated and dismiss
ed their commander.
The Fourth brigade from India has
arrived at Taku, but, owing to the gale,
has not yet been able to land.
Sir Ernest NJ. Satow, who succeeds
Sir Claude M. Macdonald as British
minister to China, has arrived at Tien
Tsin.
A special dispatch from Pekin, dated
Oct. II, says: At the American lega-
tion Ii Hung Chang expressed regret
for the occurrences and thanked the
Americans for their good treatment of
the Chinese. He promised to request
that negotiations be begun at the
tsung-li-yamen two days hence and to
exclude Yung Lu from them.
1T is asserted" says the Shanghai
correspondent Of The Times, wiring
yesterday, that the Russians have
seized the Niu Chwang railway at the
terminus of the Shan Hal Kwan line.
This is the first step the Russians
have taken on the right bank of the
Amur. The Russians southern and
northern armies have Joined hands at
Telling, north of Mukden, thereby
placing all of Manchuria east of the
River Lao, and a portion west of the
stream in the hands of Russia"
DE-. Morrison, in today's Times, con-
cludes his dramatic description of the
siege of Pekin. He expressed the deep
obligation of all those confined in the
British legation to the splendid SER
vices of Rev. Frederick ID. Gamewell,
head Of the Methodist mission board,
to whom was due the designing and
construction of all our defenses and
who carried out in the most admirable
manner Sir Claude MacDOnald's ideas
and suggestions"
He also refers to the valuable ser
vices" rendered by Mr.. Squires, secre-
tary of the United States legation.
The Times, commenting editorially
upon DR.. Morrison's narrative, says:
"The whole story justifies in the
fullest manner Emperor Williams at
titude toward the authors Of the
atrocities. 1t proves beyond a reason
able doubt the responsibility of the
high officials and the tsung-li-yamen." "
Field Marshal Count Won Walder-
see left Tien Tsin for Pekin at o'clock
this morning, accompanied by his staff
and a small escort. The length of the
field marshals stay at the capital has
not been determined. but he expects to
return to Tien Tsin before cold wealth
er sets in. Possibly he will make
Shanghai his headquarters for the win
ter, as it is unders cd that the Ger
mans do not contemp te active oper-
ations after the winte has begun.
