PEKING, oct. 21.-General Yin
Tchang, the w-r minister who IS in
the neighborhood Of Son Yang Chau
in Human province, has completed the
mobilization of 10000 men, but the
opinion is held here that he has no
intention for the present to begin an
advance against the reyolutionaries
holding the towns of WI Chang, Hn'
Yang and Hankow.
The provinces of Human and Hu
Peh are divided by a high range Of
hills through which the only pass for
many miles is traYersed by the rail
roads. 1t Is thought this pass is held
by the rebels, who have posted many
| guns. They are supposed to have cut
Off 5000 imperial troops which are
, fleeing northward from Hankow.
Rebels Hold Strong Pass.
The government at first mentioned
knowing Shut, which is on the south
slope of the hills, as the place OF
Yin Tchang's mobilization, but evil
IDENTIFY the war minister has bene con-
tent to assemble his forces on the
north side of the hills. The pass Is
| believed to be impossible, by the
troops of Yin Tchang. Whether he
will reinforce them is questionable,
because of the growing feeling that
1t will be necessary TO retain all avail
able forces as near Peltin as possible.
1t Is stated that Yin Tchang intends
to perfect his organization before ad-
vancing against the rebels holding
Hang Chow, which is some miles be-
low Hankow at the narrowest point
of the Yang TIE Kiang

Chanu and to await reinforcements.

ports 20 the legation that the Shan
| Tung cities are quiet. The coasts

pointed American consul at Chung
King Sze Chuen province, is tempor-
ariy installed a: I-Chang, in Hu-Peh

China Is Nearly Broke"
The Chinese government is so short
OF money that 1t Is believed il will be
unable to pay the salaries of the met
ropolitan officials next month Tho
government has so far ben unahe to
make but little headway.
Advices from Kia Feng. Human. say
that recruiting is going on actively.
Most of the Manchu troops have left
for the south and there appears TO be
no dissatisfaction among the men. II
has been deemed advisable, however,
to guard the ammunition sent south
ward. and this IS being done entirely
by Manchu soldiers.
Bandits are numerous in the south
ern districts. particularly among Chau
and Su Chau Troops engaged them
near Loshan. killing some hundreds
of them.
