demanding the deeapitation of Sheng. One of Sheng's adherents visited the American legation today and after a hurried conference proceeded to the race course, from which two foreign ministers returned immediately to Pe- king.
 Foreign Ministers Object.
 Later the French, German and Brit ish ministers, accompanied by the American charge d'affa1reS, drove to the residence of Prince Cheng, teh pre- nier, and lodged an objection to a pos sible decree In line with the wishes of the assembly. After yesterdays edict dismising Shen Hsuan-Huai, ordering Prince Ching before a board of inquiry and releasing from custody the presi- dent of the Sze Chuen provincial as- semb1y and other leaders in the Cheng Tu riots, the ministers feared that the Manchus would go to any length.
 Now at Tien Tsin.
 Some persons say Sheng departed from Pexing Thursday, but that he left by train for Tien Tsin this afternoon seems more probable.
 Protected by Foreign Police.
 At Tien Tsin and Shanghai the for eign residents will give Sheng the pro- lection of the foreign police. The rep resentatives of the governments con- cerned in the railway and surrency agreements felt in honor bound to in- terVene for the safety of Sheng because they or their predecessors pressed him to conclude these contracts and urged him to take the determined stand which hesulted in the present upheav- al.
 Caused by Foreign Loan Policy.
 Although the revolution was brewing previous to the conclusion of these com tracts, it is considered here that the foreign loan policy preciptated it.

nlent today that in Mondays fighting the Allies won a victory and Italians lost 300 men killed and TOO wounded. This is confirmed. in part, by an in dependent report that the Italians brought TOO wounded men into Tripoli and further by the announcement from Rome that the government has de- ciCed to send forward 15,000 reinforce ments.
 Don't Understand Their Defeat.
 A belated account of Mondays fight, which comes by way of Malta, says the Italians have no knowledge of what brought about their defeat. The Mos lems, thoroughly understanding each other, prepared for 8 supreme effort to stagger or destroy the invareds and only by accident did the Italians es- cape ambuscades deep and deadly.
 Italian Sharpshooters Moved Down.
 "The Moslems population" the des- patch continues. was expecting the signal to rise and strike their pro- fessed friends and awaited the oppor- tunity to shoot or stab the Italians who had been drawn foy a strataeBm to parts favorable for an attack but the Turks and Arabs showed themselves too soon. Their plans and strength were partly discovered. They num- bered perhaps between 40, 600 and 50,- 900. Undeterred by the failure of their tactics they fought desperately. The Italian sharpsI2ooters lost the most heavily, some 200 or 300 of them per- ishing."
 No Precautions Against Cholera.
 Correspondents who have returned to London on account of the severity of the censorship express the opinion that the Italian losses from cholera and other diseases will be most severe should the campaign last any time. They say the troops are not suitable clothed for the tropical nights and that not the slightest precaution is taken to prevent them from drink ing polluted water.
