allusion to chose so-called preachers of

zles the Orient
NO CAUSE FOR THE ALARM.
Only Revolt of Any Consequence in
China at Present Is in kwons 81
Province-DetaiIs of the Action of
the United states-GeneraI Live
News.

Pekin, April 6.-The report received
here that the action of the United
States in increasing her Asiatic squad
ron is on account of "the alarming re-
cites surprise in Pekin. Such reports
were not sent by the United States or
British legations, which possess good
facilities for judging the situation in
China. The only disturbances consid-
cred serious are those in the kwang
ST province, the southern province of
China, bordering Tonkin. where 100000
rebels are said to be under arms, which
were never directed against foreigners.
The latest reports regarding Gen. Tung
Fuh Slang, the BOXER leader" and
Prince Tuan, the exfled anti-foreigner,
who are at the head OF the lnsurgent
forces in the northwestern provinces
of kansu, are reassuring. The govern
ment claims to have come to an agrees
ment with them whereby they agree
to refrain from hostilities. 1t is beliey-
ed that the government is supplying
them with funds on condition that they
remain quiet.
The officials promise the foreign min
listers that the indemnity bonds VIII
soon be signed. The officials appar-
emily have concluded that it will be
impossible TO obtain any concession in
the terms of the indemnity until that
formality is fulfilled.
The dowager empress and the court
started today on their journey to the
western tombs. They will be absent
from Pekin eighteen days. Other trains
will carry most of the high officials in
Pekin, and the courts entire household
of euniches and concubines. Business
traffic on the railways entering Pekin
will be practically suspended for sew
eral days. The masses regard the pill
grimage with astonished disapproval.
and predict that heaven will send dis
asters.
The United States consul at Canton
telegraphs that the famine in the
Kwang ST province. resulting from the
rebellion there, is serious. Thousands
will die unless assistance is forth
coming. He recommends that relief
funds be started abroad.
