London, April .9.-In dispatch to
The Times from Peklng DR.. Morrison
comments upon the blow to Russian
prestige in China resulting from the
check to Russia's ambitions regard
ing Manchuria.
Z "This blow Is all the more severe" !"
she says, because Japan, whom the
Russians have affected to treat with
the utmost contempt, has had the
largest share III defeating it. There
is little doubt that Russia will renew
the struggle in some shape. It is a
remarkable outburst of popular feel
ing which has thus enabled China to
withstand Russia. All the appeals
against the convention concerning
Manchuria were addressed to. the en-
peror. It Is, therefore, difficult to be.
lieve that the empress dowager has
not been affected by the defeat Of the
policy of which her henchman, Ii
Hung Chang, Is the sturdiest ex-
ponent.
"The emperor has summoned the
president Of the board of revenue

Rebellion Headed by General Tung.
Fu.Sian Breaks Out In China.
Peking, April 9.-The rumors which
have been current during the past few
days of the outbreak of rebellion,
headed by General Tung-Fu-Sian, the
former commander of the northern
army in the provinces of Mongolia and
Shen 81, have been absolutely authen-
ticated.
4 Ii Hung Chang and Prince Ching
have received information on the sub
ject which, though indefinite, still
proves that the court is seriously
alarmed.
General Flu Sian was, according to
last accounts, about $50 miles from
the court with 11,000 regular troops,
all supposed to be devoted to himself.
The court has about the same number
of soldiers at Sian Flu, but it Is prob.
able that the troops of Tung Flu Sian
are better drilled and better armed.
It is believed that the Mongolian
rebellion was brought about through
agents of Prince Tuan and General
Tung Flu Sian. Ii Hung Chang thinks
there are about 5000 regular troops
in Mongolia and inclines to the belief
that they have not Joined in the rebel
lion. He does not think the court is
in danger and thinks the object of
Prince Tuan (who was last reported
at Ming Hsu with 10000 men, prepar-
ed to resist arrest) and General Tung
Flu Sian Is to create diversion of in
terest or in order to force uncondi-
tional protection Of themselves.
Unoficial Cinnamon Of intelligence
regard the rising as most unfortunate
at the. present time, to the interests
Of China, and as possibly meaning the
use of foreign troops to protect even
the court itself.
