UNREST IN SOUTH CHINA.
Reformcrs Preparing to Raise the
Standard of Revolt.

LONDON, sept. 5.-A despatch to the
Telegraph" from Hongkong, dated Sep
tember 3, states that influential natives
say that the flame of rebellion has been
famed in southern China. and they pre-
dict a tremendous conflagration within =
month. Several reform parties, with head
quarters in Hongkong, are supported by
funds received from rich Chinese and from
the United States. They have hitherto re-
strained from aggression, believing that
the powers would regenerate the Govern
ment.
Since it was reported that it was the
intention of the powers to withdraw from
China the different societies have been
combining to raise the standard of re-
volt. The practical cessation of trade in
the north has thrown thousands OF men
out of employment, and they are prepared
to join the rebels.

FORCES TO WINTER IN CHINA

Several communication reached
washington Tuesday from the United
states officials in China, but being
without dates in most cases, the gov.
eminent was by no means satisfied
with the state of communications and
the cabinet meeting held Tuesday af-
ternoon give the larger part of its at
tention to the problem OF rectifyipe
this state of affairs.
Evidence of interference with the
messages have accumulated to a point
where the government has determined
to take steps to establish channels of
Its own and to employ the rather ex-
pensive device OF man of war plyinR
between Shanghai aud Che Foo for
this purpose. Either the New Orleans
or the Princeton will be ordered on
this duty.
Meanwhile word comes that rapid
progress is making with the short ca
Die which is to connect these points,
and 1t is believed that within a week
this means of communication will be
open.
Three messages from General Cbaffee
were received Tuesday and, while they
cast no direct light on the military sit
uation, they were inferentially import.
ant. One was as follows:
"TAKU, China, Adiutant Cen
eral, Washington; Siege battery
not needed. CHAFFRE.
The dispatch is in reply to an in
quiry sent some time ago to General
Chafee relative to the siege battery
which was taken from Manila to Nag
asaki to be sent to China if needed.
Announcement was received of the
arrival of the Garonne with eight
companies of the First cavalry aboard
at Kobe, Japan, and companion ship
with animals for the troopers. An
order was sent from here to the gov
ernment's agents at Kobe to divert the
cavalry and their animals from that
port to Manila, instead of allowing
them to proceed to Taku, according to
their original orders.
General Chaffee's statement that he
needs no siege battery, taken in con.
nection with the diversion of the
First cavalry which was bound for
Taku to Manila, seems to make clear
that there is no intention to enter into
q prolonged campaign in China, such
as would involve the use of heavy
artillery, or of re-enforcements in the
shape of men and horses.
