WARNING NOTE AT PEKIN,
LEGATIONS GET LETTER
Telling. of Impending Uprisins-Many
Signs of Unrest.

Peking. June 2.-There was a stir
in the diplomatic quarter today, fol-
lowing the receipt at each OF the for
eign legations of an anonymous circu-
lar letter, in which the writer declared
that an anti-dynastic revolution was
about TO take place, and warning the
diplomats not to take side with the
N1ancltus The Chinese imperial fam
ily is of Manchu origin, the dynasty
dating from 1914.
The communication was prepared in
excellent literary style and abounded
in classic quotations. At certain OF
the legations an impression was made
both by the receipt OF the letter and
the manner in which the covert threat
was conveyed. However, no alarm was
felt at the American embassy, and w.

American legation views the Incident
only as one OF the many indications OF
unrest throughout the country, which
found recent expression through ma
tive rioting at Chang-Sha, the capital
or Human province. whore missions
were attacked and foreigners compell-
ed to flee for their lives. The Amer
leans hold that. while this anti-sov-
ernment feeling may crystaiiize at any
moment, it is quito as likely that the
present state of affairs win continue
