Rebels Moving 0n Shanghai Ignoring
 Present Armis.ice
Especial from United Press )

Tien Tsin, Dec. 12.-A number of revolutionary warships. laden with soldiers, sailed from Canton, today, for Shanghai. It is believed the re- bels are preparing for an expedition against ,Pekin in the event that the peace negotiations fail.
 Todays movement is undoubtedly a violation of the armistice. The re- bels have contended for some time that the imperial troops were mov- ing regardless of the agreement and General Ii Yuan Hung has decided to disregard the armistice in this re- spect.
 Little hope is held out here that the peace negotiations will be a sue cess unless Premier Yuan Shi Kai is consulted.
