 Shanghai, Nov. 2S.-The rebels rushed the Nankin Qualifications, to- day. and captured the city after a desperate hand to hand fight, in which 700 imperialists and 500 revo- lutionists were killed.
 The capture of Nankin by the revolutionists is the heaviest blow the government has suffered since the outbreak of the rebellion. It is taken for granted that little mercy will be shown to the vanquished gar rison General Chang is considered certain to be beheaded. The rebels are mad with rage at the recollec- ton of the Manchu massacre of the Chinese inhabitants in the city about three weeks ago and are determined to avenge the victims in their mur- derers' blood.
 The town is almost wholly in ruins, having been heavily bombarded for two days.
 But for the almost simultaneous capture of Han Yang by the imperial ists, the latter's defeat at Nankin would probably mean the govern ment's overthrow. As it Is, the rebel victory at Nankin and imperialists' success at Hoo Peh offsets it.
