SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. IA Hong
Kong cable TO the Chinese daily paper
here today says that Nanldng has been
captured by the revolutionists.
Commander Ii Yuen Heng, according
to the daily papers advlces, has tele-
graphed to Canton asking for an army
to join his forces for an attack on
Peking. Foreign guards, the dispatch
said, had been withdrawn from Canton.
The virtual acceptance of the premier
ship of the Chinese government by Yuan
Shi Nai the significance OF which has
been variously interpreted, does not indi-
cate that the revolutionists will consider
any proposition or compromise which in
cludes the retention OF the throne of the
Manchu dynasty.
This Is made plain in a cablegram re-
ceived today from Shanghai, where Gen
eral Ii Yuen Hueng, the rebel com
mander, through personal report Issued
a statement reiterating In no uncertain
terms the declaration that the revolution
lists will consider no terms of peace while
the Chinese sceptre is in the hands Of a
Manchu.
Yuan Shi I[ai Accepts,
PEKING, Nov. 15.-The most important
development at the capital today was the
publication in the official Gazette of
Yuan Shi Kai's expression OF thanks to
the throne for its appointment OF him as
premier. This is regarded as tantamount
to his acceptance of the office.
That arrangements are being made for
the possible retirement of the royal
family to Je-Hol, is believed, following
the publishing of an imperial edict stimuli
taneously ordering Pu Ting, the tartar
general at Je-Hol the emperors summer
residence, to Vacate in favor of Hsi- -Liang,
formerly viceroy OF Manchuria. a trusted
counselor to the throne. This step will be
taken only as last resort, however, as It
is generally felt that should the court
leave Peking the throne would be lost
forever to the Manchu dynasty
The provincial assembly of Nehi Ii to-
day adopted memorial 70 the throne,
favoring the establishment OF a republic
with Yuan shi Kai as president. The
assembly has been accused OF .inaction
and 1t is possible the move Is only q
pretense at doing something.

who took formal possession OF the city
yesterday, have issued an address to the
