Two Factions ut Arms Nearing Each
Other--Confirm of Rebel Victory
Received by Private Cables.

PEKING, Oct. 25.-Further deflec-
tions to the rebels including Nan
Chang, capital of the province of
Kiang 81. and Wwei Lin, capital of
Kwang ST. have served to increase
the tension here of the revolution.
70 add to the seriousness of the sit
uation, the Tsui Chang Yum, China's
first national assembly, today gave
to the Manchus what the legations
consider an ultimatum.
The assembly impeached Chang SUI
the president Of the ministry OF posts
and communications, and demanded
his dismissal because in effect he ne
gotiated the loans for the national
mobilization of the railways OF the
country. This act was largely re-
sponsible for the revolution.
But One Course Left.
From the temper shown, II is be
lleved the assembly will carry out
its threat. The only course open to
the government is either to sacri-
flee man who Is considered by for
eieners the strongest member OF the
cabinet, or retaining him, declare
war on the assembly, as we'll as the
vast majority of Chinese.
The condition OF the imperial
army in the field is hard to ascer-
tain. Some reports say 1t is disor-
ganized and is honeycombed with
dissatisfaction. However, the forces
of the dynasty have made progress.
Two Armies Nearing.
A wireless report from Hankow to-
night indicates that the imperial
troops and the rebels are near each
other. The palace is urging the war
minister for prompt victory. Should
he fail to fight. or lose his first en-
gagement, there appears to be no
hope of checking the revolt.
Rebels Strong Morally.
The moral position of the rebels IL
stronger than that Of the imperiallsts.
They could lose a battle without COM
plete defeat. having many cities TO
rally around. But the defeat OF YIN
Tchang, in view of the wavering OF
troops almost everywhere, would
leave the dynasty unable to cope with
the situation in a single province.
Imperial Family to Fly.
1t is comomnly reported In Pekin
& lat the imperial family is ready for
flight. The road to Jehol. 115 miles
northeast of Pcking, is studded with
troops. Other rumors designate the
foreign settlements in Tien Tsin as
the possible refuge.
