plan to Rescue Emperor.

London, April 2.-The correspond
ent of the Globe at Shanghai, in dis
patch dated Saturday. March 30, says
he understands that the Yangtse vice
rows and Yuan-ShiKai (the military
governor of Shan-Tung). are prepared
to dispatch 100000 troops 10 Sian-Fu
to rescue the emperor from the hands
of the reactionaries and escort him to
Picking, if little pressure and promise
OF moral support is forthcoming from
the powers interested in the open
door.
The correspondent adds that the
suggested expedition would prove
popular in Central and Southern
China, would result in the destruc-
ton of the anti-foreign elements and
would lead to the establishment of a
progressive government at Picking.

gunboat Scorpion was dispatched to
La Guayra especially to make sure
that he should connect at Kingston,
Jamaica, with the regular passenger
steamer coming to New York. There
is no present intention of sending the
North Atlantic squadron to Ven
ezuela, for, as above stated, the gov
eminent cannot decide how this mat
ter should be treated until Mr.. Loom
is has been personally consulted. The
squadron which is at Culebra island
engaged in maneuvers is about to
head north in a few days. One or
two of the vessels will be sent first
to Kingston, Jamaica, but the delay
will be temporary and the whole
squadron will soon be under way for
Tompkinsville.

The reports reaching here Monday
morning showed that the agreement
had not been signed. Its status is
most peculiar. The time within which
it was to be signed expired last
Tuesday. but on that day Yang Gu,
the Chinese minister at st. Peters
burg, fell in the legation and hurt his
head, so that he was unable to trans
act business. This misfortune has

THE FUTURE OF LOOMS.
Not Known Whether He Will Re-
turn to His Post in Vene-
Zuela or Not.
MUST TALK WITH SECRETARY HAY FIRST
Has Been Bitterly Attacked by News
papers of Country-EXpected That
He VIII Reach New York April 10
No Present Intention OF Sending
WarShips to Venezuela.

Washington, April 2.-The future Of
Minister LOOMS depends upon the
conference which will be held at the
state department between Secretary
Hay and himself when the minister
reaches Washington. Until the secre-
tary has had an opportunity to talk
freely with Mr.. Loomis as to the con-
ditions in Nenzuela it cannot be
known positively whether or not he
will return to his post.
Mr.. Loomis has been the object of
bitter attack by some of the Vene-
zuelan newspapers, not solely because
of the asphalt controversy, but also
because he was charged with making
false reports to his government
touching the insurrectionary move
ment in Venezuela. The minister did
not inform the state department of
the conditions as he saw them, and
of the prospects of the revolutionary
movement. The Venezuelan govern
ment could not have direct knowl-
edge of the minister's report, but be-
cause these were followed by the APP
pearance of three United States war
ships in Venezuelan waters they
came to the conclusion that the min
lister had reported as very menacing
and serious revolutionary move
ment which the government organs
| were trying their best to minimize.
Therefore these papers lost no OPP
portunity of attacking Mr.. Loomis in
print, and have succeeded in making
his lot unpleasant. 1t is only fair to
state that the Venezuelan charge here
asserts positively that these attacks
were made by irresponsible newspa
pers, and that the government was
not behind them, and deprecated
them. If Mr.. Loomis confirms this
view. and he cares to return to
Caracas, he will be permitted to do
