TUNG FUN SIAN REBELS.
Chinese General Will Have None of the
Emperor.

Pelin. April 9.-The rumors which nave
been current during the past lew days
of the outbreak of a rebellion heaGed pv
General Tung Fuh Sian, the former COM
mander of the northern army, IN the
provinces of Mongolia and Shen-Sl nave
been absolutely authenticated.
Ii Hung Chang and Prince Ching have
received information on the SUBJECT,
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 II 900 regular troops. all supposed
to be devoted to himself. The court has
aobut the same number of soldiers at
Sanfu but it is probable that the troops
Of Tung Flu Sian are better drilled and
better armed.
1t is believed that the Monaghan re-
tellion was brought about through the
agents of Prince Tuan and General Tung
Fuh Sian. Ii Hung Chang thinks there
are about 5000 regular troops in Mongolia
and inclines to the belief that they have
rot Joined in the rebellion. He does not
think the court is in any danger and
thinks the object of Prince Tuan (who
was last reported al Ming Hsu Sian with
10 000 men prepared to resist arrest). and
General Tung Flu Sian is to create
diversion of interest in order to force I'M
conditional protection of themselves.
Unofficial Cinnamon of intelligence re-
gard the rising as most unfortunate
at the present time to the interests Of
China, and as Of possibly meaning the
use Of foreign troops to protect even the
court itself. a-
The ministers of the powers do not
think that, provided foreign inter ests do
not suffer. any present interference is
likely. If the dynasty should be over
thrown. it would. to a certain extent.
Ge,ay the peace negotiations, but they
consider that a regime not bound by
traditions like those of the present
court. probably would be much easier
TO deal With eventually las the cere-
1nonal could be much curtailed.
Prince Ching, who. as a relative. may
be considered to take the court view of
the situation. thinks the rebellion is a
storm in a tea cup. He says the present
court is loved and esteemed by nine
tenths. of the population of China and
that the same proportion of able bodied
men in China would rise to protect the
existing dynasty. The empress dowager,
as the adviser of the emperor. holds the
affections of the people not dreampt of
and not understood by foreigners. Her
slightest wish is the elnperor's law,
though he Is by no means the figure

pose. The emperor recognizes her abil-
tty. invaluable aid and advice.
