0MINOUS WARNING
The Flame Of Rebellion in the Pro-
vinces Of Southern China
Running High.
AN OUTBREAK PROPHESIED
The Chinese Believe That the Allies Have
Been Routed-Mission Stations and
Homes of English Speaking China
men Looted.

Hong Kong, September 5.-Infuentia
natives state that the fame of rebellion
has been famed in the southern pro-
vinces and predict tremendous confla.
grafton within month. Placards are
being circulated in Canton and the pro.
vinces intimating that the allies are
thoroughly routed. The feeling against
the foreigners is bursting the bounds of
official control.
LOOTING BY CHINESE.
The majority of mission stations in
Kwang Tang either has been destroyed
or looted. Native Christians are terribly
abused. Natives in the foreign employ
at Canton have been threatened, and the
systematic looting of houses of English
speaking Cinnamon has taken place.
DOWAGER EMPRESS DEFIANT.
London, Sept. 5.-No official pro-
nouncnment is yet Forthcoming here In
regard to the decision OF the powers
concerning China, but the concensus of
opinion continues suggestive of a COM
promise of the proposals now under
consideration. Meanwhile, there is lit
tie authoritative indication that the
dowager empress is ready to treat for
peace even II the allied powers reach an
agreement in regard to the best means
of opening negotiations. On the con-
trary, many rumors, gathered at Shang-
hal, suggest that she is carrying on her
anti-foreign policy with increased zeal,
the latest reported imperial decree from
Tai Yuan Flu is said to be defiant and to
contain a statement that the court fled
lest the emperor might be killed during
the fighting between the Boxers and
Christians and thus leave no one to
continue the ancestral worship" The
decree is also said to exhort the union
of viceroys to 'avenge the injuries in
fiicted on China" by the powers.
No FURTHER OFFICIAL REPLIES.
Washington, Sept. 5.-The govern
ment has not yet been informed as to
whether responses have been made by
the powers to the Russian note respect
ing the withdrawal OF troops from
Pekin. Therefore negotiations on this
point can not be said to have been
marked by any formal advancement
though 1t is known that unoffi clal ex-
changes are in progress, doubtless pre-
pairing a way for formal agreement
between the powers in the near future.
Acting through Lii Hung Chang the
Chinese imperial government is making
strenuous efforts to secure favorable
consideration for its peace overtures.

ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Stefan I]hli, of Sill

up, found her lying on the kitchen floor.

Managua, Nicaragua, Aug. 1s.-El

in its issue of Aug. 18th. contained an
editorial announcing that the govern
ment of Nicaragua informed the Inter-

cause of the failure of the company to
deposit $4OO, 900 of American gold In the
treasury OF Nicaragua within four
months after the organization of the
