Ii Hung Chang Expresses Regret for

LONDON, Oct 15.--The Shanghai corre-
spondent OF the Morning Post. writing
Saturday, describes four distinct agita-
tions-in Kwangtung. Kwangsi. Szechuan
and the Yangtse region--ah OF which are
anti-dynastic rather than anti-foreign.

rebellion spreads over the Yangtse re-
gion, he will probably be aided by Prince
Tuan, Tung Flu Hsiang and the Moham-
mcdan leaders In the northwest
The Chinese imperial troops, according
to q dispatch to the Daily Chronicle from
Hongkong dated yesterday, have recap
tured weichou. on East river, where Sun
Vat Sen, the reformer. had raised his
nag. and have scattered the rebels.
The Standard publishes mail advices
from Tientsn giving a list OF fifty-
four documents that were seized in the
yamen OF the viceroy after the capture OF
that city and fell into the hands of the
correspondents before the military au-
thorities had seized the yamen. These in
clude receipts for money paid TO Boxer
generals for supplies for their troops of
every kind, reports of actions and lists
of casualties and rewards paid to generals
and the families of the killed, all clearly
proving that the authorities maintained
the Boxer movement by lavish expendi-
lures.
