Has Fallen.
Shanghai, Oct 27-A Chinese news
paper, in an extra edition, announces
that the minister of war, General Ying
Tchang, commanding the imperial
forces, has been assassinated by his
own troops.
The paper also says that Canton
has been seized by revolutionists.
Great bloodshed is reported there.
Peking, Oct 27.-The Chinese news
papers report that the troops at
Chengtu, the capital of Szechuen prov
ince, have mutinied and killed General
Cha Erfeng, commander of the imper-
ial forces, and joined the rebels, who
now hold the capital
The legations have received no news
officially from Szechuen province for
the past ten days. They ordinarily
discredit the reports published by Chi
nese papers, but consider the state
ment that Chengtu has fallen and the
imperial commander has been assassi-
mated as not improbable.
The American legation is asking
that more warships be sent to Chinese
waters as the present number is not
sufficient to cover all the ports which
are in danger No American vessel is
now available at Changsha, where
there are twenty-nine Americans.
An official communication states
that General Yin Tchang telegraphed
the government from Siaokatan that
the imperial troops had advanced to
Shoku and he was following them. The
general added that the army had en-
gagged in several skirmishes with the
rebels, but no battle would take place
until the imperial army was fully con
solidated in its position. A dispatch
from Tsinan says public sympathy
| throughout the province of Shantung
is with the revolutionists. Only the
officials cling to the dynasty and they
are extremely nervous. The mass OF
| them await the overthrow of the Man
chus.
