vantage Over Government.

PEkING, China, October 1.-THE
anxiety with which the government
views the situation in this city is in
dicated by the elaborate precautions
taken for defense against revolutionary
uprisingS or attacks. Cavalry is
patrolling the principal streets of the
capital. and all the police have been
armed with rifles. Today two battalions
of the Imperial Guards regarded AS
among the finest troops in China's new
army, entered the city.
Reliable reports today from Pao Ting
Flu contradict yesterdays official state
ment of the departure of eight train
loads of soldiers from that city, bound
for Hankow and Wuchang. 1t appears
now that less than 500 men left for
the south. Whether this indicates dis
affection among the troops at Pao Ting
Flu is a matter for speculation.
Strict Press Censorship.
A strict censorship of press dispatches
was instituted here today.
The revolutionary movement has appar-
emily had it's effect on railroad service in
the central provinces, even at points far
north of the scene OF actual nghtinS.
Only mail and express trains are running
on the Chingfeng railway.
The foreign consuls at Hankow today
make representations to the Chinese gov
ernment regarding the proposed bombard-
ment of Wuchang by the loyal cruisers
anchored in the Yangtze river. The con-
suls urged that instructions be issued to
Admiral Sab Chen Ping to conduct his
bombardment in such manner that 1t
would not endanger the foreign settle
ment at Hankow. AS an alternative they
suggest that ample notice should be given
and an agreement entered into whereby
the imperial government will undertake
to render adequate compensation for the
damage done.
A meeting of the foreign diplomats will
~ held late today TO consider the matter
