4 NEW REBELLION
 ALARMING CHINA The Trouble Brought About by
 Agents of Tuan II IS MOST UNFORTUNATE Possibly It Will Mean That the Court Itself Will Have to Be Protected By Foreign Troops in the
 Near Future.
IT IS MOST UNFORTUNATE

Pekin, April S.-The rumors which have been current during the last few days of the outbreak of a rebellion headed by General Tung Fun Sian, the former com mander of the northern army, in the provinces of Mongolia and Shen Si, have 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 larmed. General Funston was according to last accounts about 15 miles from the court with 11,0O0 regular troops, all supposed to be devoted to himself. The court has about the same number of soldiers at Sian Flu, but it is probable that the troops of Tung Flu Sian are better drilled and better armed.
 It is said that the Mongonlian rebellion was brought about through agents of Prince Yuan and General Tun Flu Sian. Ii Hung Chang thinks there are about 5000 troops in Mongolia, and inclines to the belief that they have not 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 at Ming Hsu with 10000 men, prepared to resist arrest, and General Tung Flu Sian Is to create diversion of interest in order to force unconditional protectoin of them selves.
 Use of Foreign Troops. Unofficial Chinamen of intelligence re- gard the rising as most unfortunate at the present time to the interests of China, and as possibly meaning the use of for eign troops to protect the court itself.
 The ministers of the powers do not thing that, provided foreign interests do not suffer, any present interference is likely. If the dynasty should be over thrown 1t would, to a certain extent, de- lay the peace negotiations, but they con slider that a regime not bound by tradi- tions like those of the present court would probably 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 teacup. He says the present court Is loved and esteemed by nine tenths of the people of China and that the same proportion of able-bodied men in China would rise to protect the exist ing dynasty.
