 Civil Strife.
 TolSio Special Correspondence of New
 York Herald.
 the general anticipation of a revolu- tionary uprising in China Is shown by certain neEotiations pending between representatives of the reform element and certain foreigners resident in Ja- pan.
 The details of these negotiations re- veal the fact that thereNundoubtedly Is in China a broad and comprehensive revolutionary movement now in the hands of men wise enough to work quietly and bide their time. that this movement is in no sense anti-foreign, but has as its sole purpose the over throw of the Manchu dynasty in the interest of a government of China by pure Chinese; that the movement un- doubtedly has the backing Of good deal of money. with prospects of a great deal more once the possibilities of success can be demonstrated, and part of this general movement. but Is purely local, and is deprecated by those who later on will be urging these same people to join in overthrowing the au- thority of the Manchu.
 we'll known foreign expert has been approached by accredited repre- sentatives of the Chinese reformers with an offer of any sum within req son if he will undertake the construc- ton at one of the important strategic points in the interior of China of a fine modern arsenal The man to whom the offer has been made is one possessing exactly the knowledge and experience which such an undertaking as this calls for. He will it is Understood, undertake the work, having fully sat- isfied himself as to the sincerity of the movement and the ability of his would be employers to make good their prom ises. financial and otherwise.
 As evidence of their financial stand ing and of their good faith they dls- closed to this gentleman the presence here in Japan of fund of 100000 yen. which Is to be placed at his disposal just as soon as he signs a formal com tract. If for any reason he should de- cline the undertaking somebody else will then have the chance, for It ts ev- ident that this reform movement has the Sacking of very strong interests In China.
 The proposed site of this arsenal is one of the interior capitals In the Wes- tern sections of the Empire The prov caIly untouched by the Manchu inhu- ence. The viceroys can. 1t is believed. be counted upon to give the necessary protection to an enterprise of this character if not actively to contribute to its construction. The point selected is one from which the whole southern section of the Empire--the old Seven Kingdoms. which are purely Chinese could gradually be furnished with mod ern guns and equipment. without which q revolutionary movement could not hope to succeed, Despite frequent re- ports of the smuggling of arms into China, the amount of guns and war material received from the outside is very small. The leaders realize they cannot bA properly prepared for ths

expected coup unless they have an arr

expected coup unless they have an ar senaI of their own.
 Reports of "uprisings" in different parts of China are frequent. It is the usual thing to see any little outbreak against local authority Imagnified into a great revolution. Often this is done by the local oflcials for the purpose of acquiring for themselves a reputation for valor and good leadership. That helps at Pekin. As a result of this general condition, those most familiar with conditions in China are disposed to discount every revolution report. But some day it will be the real thing, for there is a deep. underlying senti- Tnent in the hearts Of the Chinese against their Manchu rulers, and at the right moment this is bound to be used by shrewd leaders inspired by desire for the control of the government.
 The men who are willing to show their faith by contributing heavily for the construction of a modern arsenal realize that this work must take sev- eral years. They say they are willing to wait. It may be two years, 1t may be five years; they do not profess to know, but they do purpose to be ready when the time comes.
 About the nearest to an exact esti- mate I have been able to get from these and other Chinese who sympa- thize with the reform movement Is that the clash is sure to come when the old woman dies" if not before.
