ference to which the pope was not in
vited.
NJ. Nelidoff cordially thanked the dep
utation for the interest taken in the

said, the address would be communi-
Gated, adding that every one earnestly
desired the success of its work.
The proposition which France pre-
sented to the second committee Gland

declaration of war be compulsory be-
fore the opening of hostilities.

HONGKONG IN DANGER

VICTORIA, B. c.. June 25.-Refugees
were fleeing TO Hongkong from the
districts affected by the revolution in
southern China when the steamer EN-
press of Japan, which arrived yester-
day. left Hongkong. All reported the
rebel movement as a most pretentious
one, with an army organized after
European methods.
War notes which the rebel leaders
promised to redeem at twice their face
value after the fall of Canton were
being issued. proclamations given out
and everything carried in form.
The rebel manifestoes were issued in
Chinese and English. calling for the
overthrow of the Manchu dynasty, the
establishment of republican form of
government, naturalization of land
and utilities. establishment of union
between China and Japan and reform
of Chinese administration. with the as
sfstance of foreign lowers.
After capturing the towns on the
way to Swatow, the rebel forces moved
again northerly. seemingly making to-
ward Canton. Huichou and Kowteen,
on the mainland opposite Hongkong,
was captured, the imperial troops being
badly worsted.
France is taking advantage of the
outbreak to press for French expedi-
ton being sent to Canton to protect
that city, and Peking officials are re-
ported strenuously opposing such a
move
Some bloody incidents are reported.
At Wongkong near Swatow, where the
civil and military officials were butch
cred, as at other cities on the line of
march, wang, a custom official, was
taken before the standard of the rebels
and killed and the standard was
cd xxyif IL
or the banners. Families OF some of
the officials were forced to drown
themselves in wells. Outbreaks have
been reported also from Human and
Schechuan. and seizures of contraband
arms are being made at Chinese ports

CRUISER MILWAUKEE
To GO To SALVADOR
Washington Officials Fear
Serious Trouble in
Central America
TO GUARD INTERESTS
Warsaip Will Look After
Our Citizens Who Are
in Disturbed Zone
o GUARD INTERESTS

WASHINGTON, June 25.-The possi-
bility of serious trouble in Central
America, growing out of the disturbed
conditions existing there Incidental to
the alleged ambition of President
Zelaya of Nicaragua to form a union
of Central American states, has caused
the administration to dispatch the fine
new cruiser Milwaukee to that local
ity. Orders for her to proceed forth
with from Mare Island navy yard, Cal
ifornia, went forward from the navy
department today. The vessel is in
command Of Commander Charles A
Cove. and will go to La Union, Sal
yador.
The collier Saturn has also been d.
rected to proceed to La Union. and
from this vessel the Milwaukee and the
gunboat Yorktown. which is now at
Acajutla will coal. The stay of the
Milwaukee in Central American waters
is problematical and will in a measure
depend upon the conditions that de-
velop In that section of the world. She
goes ostensibly for the protection of
American interests" which are threat
ened because of the situation as it ex-
lists. The cruiser ST. Louis, on her way
to Brazilian port, Is en- route to the
Pacific coast and will arrive in Central
American waters in about two months.
It may be that she will relieve the Mil
waukee in the event that the admins
tration decides to have that vessel re-
turn north and 1t is deemed necessary
to continue the presence of two Ameri-
can vessels in that section.
