Canton, Oct. 26.-The newly ap.
pointed Tartar general, Flung Sen, was
assassinated upon his arrival to as.
sumo his duties here. The general,
accompanied by his wife and a large
escort of soldiers, was coming ashore
when a bomb was thrown from the
roof OF a building and dropped among
the party. The explosion which fol-
lowed killed Fung Sen and a number
OF soldiers and caused a fire which
burned several houses. The generals
wife is also said to have been killed.
The town of Tchen-Chow, near the
center Of Honan province, was cap
tured by rebels. The developments
mark the rebellion's spread to the
northward towards Picking. Tchen-
Chow is also an important strategic
point. Details are lacking Of the cir
Cnmstances of it's capture. It's surren-

A report that 10000 Japanese troops
have arrived at Mukden. Manchuria,
is causing uneasiness among the sup
pOrtcrS of the revolution. who believe
that Japan is about to aid the Manchu
government. The Japanese authorities
here explain that if such a movement
has been made in Manchuria the only
purpose is to protect Japanese resi-.
dents, their property and Japanese rail
a interests.
1t is reported that the plague has
broken out IN the Siberian border of
Manchuria, and that a quarantine has
been established. The foreign office
is sending two officials of high rank
to Kin Kiang, which is held by the
rebels.
Rebels Again Victorious.
Shanghai.-Capture of Tchen-Chow
by the r%evOlutionists was announced.
From a s~trategetic point of view this
city should prove OF great value to the
rebels. 1t is the junction of the kai-
Fun2 and Peking-Iankow railroads
and is located $50 miles north of Han
koW. Its capture apparently cuts off
from Picking all the imperial troops
now gathered around Hankow and
WI Chang. Kui Kiang in the province
Of Kiangsi and Sian Flu, capital of
Shensin province, have also fallen into
the hands Of the revolutiOnists.
News from the lower Yang Use val.
ley was all discouraging to the govern
mont. With Kin kiang in undisputed
possession Of the rebels the imperial
fleet has retreated on down the river,
some of the vessels being reported as
far eastward as WI HUI. Conditions
are ominous lot only in WI HUI but
also in Marking. Most Of the Manchu
officials have left these two cities and
are crowding into Shanghai where
every hotel is already filled with re
fu%ees.
Weavers Threaten Revolt.
The taotai of Shanghai became sc
alarmed over the possibility of the Sc
cessiOn of the native. city to the reb.
els. that he removed his household tC
the foreign settlement. The taOtai OF
Marking has also put himself under
the same protection.
The city Of Su Chow is in panic
owing to the revolutionary threats OF
5000 weavers whose wages have been
unpaid for a long time.
Revolutionary agents here announce
that the insurgents expect to estab
lish their headquarters at Kin Kiang
which will probably be the revolution
airy capital.
