hvaing use of the wires, received ana
disseminated information concerning
the progress of their plans.
The government refuses to reveal
the number or the destination of the
troops which are being s.nt south
ward. Beginning tomorrow only one
single first class train will be run
daily between Peking and Tien-Tsins-
Flu. about seventy miles to the suth-
east of the capital. This is due to
the heavy troop traffic and for the
purpose of preventing any great num-
Der of rebels from entering Picking.
Passenger and freight traffic has been
suspended between Peking and Ham
kow.
So far the government has refused
to permit correspondents to accom-
pany the army. Both sides are anx-
ious to favor foreigners, and it is be-
l1eved that the government will re-
| consider this refusal should the i'm
perialists meet with initial success.
The last dispatch received from
Hankow said that the revolutionaries
had organized Red Gre IS society and
had invited the cooperation of the
American Episcopal mission. This in
vitation was accepted Professionally.
The Russo-Chinese bank in the
legation quarter was the target for a
prolonged run today. The foreign
bank notes are being requested as cur
rency outside of the legation quar-
| ters. Official sources it was said to-
day. declared that they were receiving
no news from the rebels. owing to the
severance of the telegraph wires out
of Hea Peh and See Chuen provinces.
The published report today says that
the rebels at Hankow have captured
one of the Chinese warships anchored
off that city.
Delayed advices from the south are
| that the imperial troops which re-
treated from Wu Chang and Hankow
are moblizing at Chumatien, 100
miles north Of Hankow on the rail-
road.
