CHINA IS PLAYING
WITH THE POWERS
Pursues DilatOry Tactics Re-
garding the Protocol.
HITCH WASTHREATENED
MINISTERS ANXIOUS TO SETTLE
MAY CoNCEDE POINT.

Pekin. Aug. SS.-The imperial edict
fOl bidding the Importation Of arms and
munitions OF war is not satisfactory to
the foreign ministers a meeting or the
ministers has been called to discuss
the edict 1t ignores the vital fact that
the prohibition applies to the govern
naent and that it is part Of the Chi
neSe punishment. The edlct makes IL
appear to be merely the government S
voluntary act, prohibiting Chinese sub
iects from importing arms and ammu-
milton as the country is disturbed by
brigands.
Later in the day it was announced
that the ministers had decided to ac-
Cept the edict. but TO omit the first
paragraph in publishing it as part OF
the appendix to the protocol.
It is understood that the British
minister, Sir Ernest Satow. proposed
t. return the edict TO the Chinese peace
commissioners as unsa tisfactory, but
the proposal failed. Several of the dip
lOmats, including Mr.. ROckhill, opposed
this feature of the protocol. Among
their reasons was that it was impOs-
sible of enforcement and that it was il
logical. while insisting that the Chi
nese government maintain order to de-
prive it Of the means of so doing.
Ministers Now Anxious.
Whereas a month ago the Chinese
commissioners were impOrtuning the
ministers to conclude the negotiations,
1t is now the ministers who are daily
visiting Ii Hung Chang on a similar
errand. Several OF the ministers expect
TO be transferred to more pleasant
posts at the conclusion Of their labors
and all are wearied with the confine-
ment in Pekin during the tropical
months.
The Chinese may take advantage Of
the ministers manifest anxiety to wind
up business in the forthcoming DEGREES.
II the other governments had kept
troops at Pekin until the protocol was
signed, as Great Britain is doing, it is
regarded as probable that the Chinese
would display greater willingness to
carry out the spirit of the protocol
An edict has been received announc-
ing that it is the intention of the court
70 return unoStentatiOusly to Pekin
Their majesties viii give 100 900 taels
as farewell contribution to the dis
tressed people Of Singan-Fu and the
surrounding district. The edict for
bids any preparations being made for

pairing the roads.

REVOLUTION COSTS
THOUSANDS OF LIVES
Terrible Death List In Colon
bias Two Years Of War.
TO DEAL FINAL BLOW
REPUBLICS OF SOUTH AMERICA
IN BAD CONDITIONS.

New York. Aug 2S.-A revolutionary
force of 1000 men has pushed its way
over the border from Colombia into
Venezuela, says the Colon correspond
ent of the Herald. This force. the cor
respondent hears. is 10 aid in the over
throw OF President Castro. When, it
is SAID, his downfall is accomplished a
similar plan viii be followed in Mic
arsgua.
Trouble is imminent on both the
eastern and the southern boundaries of
Colombia. Troops have been rushed
in both directions, and the frontiers
of Venezuela and of Ecuador are lined
with armed men. ready to advance at
a moments notice.
No secret is made of the threatening
attitude of the Colombian authorities.
Ihey assert that the revolution here
mas been enabled to continue only by
the aid of the liberal governments of
the neighboring republics, and that to
insure peace at home it has become
necessary to inaugurate a war OF for
eign conquest.
1t is assumed here that Ecuador
would join with Venezuela in znv
movement against Colombia. the two
liberal governments standing united
against the conservative element in
control here and making counter
charges or interference with their af-
fairs and of fostering revolutions.
There seems little doubt that the
charges on both sides are well founded.
The liberals OF one republic have lent a
helplng hand to their struggling breth-
rem IN adjacent territory and the con-
SerVatlVes have retaliated in kind
colombia has, however. been the
chief sufferer, as her revolution has
already lasted nearly two years 1t is
estimated that from q. 600 to 20 600
lives have already been sacrificed. and
the end is not yet, as the smouldering
em6ers Of revolt are coming into flame
IN dozen sections simultaneously. and
the liberals do not hesitate to announce
that they are preparing to deal a final
blow
The conservatives retaliate by de-
claring that they have vanouished ev-
cry army that has been collected ana
that there only remain a few BUSH
Whackers who carry on a spasmodic
guerilla warfare, attacking corporaI's
guards. fleeing from larger bodies rob
ping exposed stores and ranches and
pillaging wayfarers.
