Shanghai, Nov. 9.-Because the
jealousy of one another was threat
ening disaster to the revolutionary
cause, Generals Chii and Tseng OF
the rebel forces at Chang-Sha were
killed by their own men today. The
two rivals had been Quarreling for
some time. Finally a committee or
influential revolutionists serving un-
der them held secret session to con-
slider the situation. AS result OF
this conference details of men were
told off to put both disputants to
death
Rushing directly to the doomed
generals respective quarters, the
executioners burst in upon their VIC
tins and shot and then beheaded
them.
A rebel seizure of Tien Tsit in the
port of Pekin is expected today. Menu
bers of the large foreign colony
there have been notified that they
have nothing to fear. Trouble is
likely, however, inasmuch as the city
is swarming with the hated Manchus,
who, many of them with much treas
ure in their possession, have arrived
at the port from Pekin in readiness
to leave the country upon the mon
archy's overthrow. A rebel procla-
nation issued at Canton last night
says the revolutionists are consider
ing a date for hosting their banner
there.

who had repulsed the French, Quelled
the political power Of the Church, and
brought in the reign Of democracy.
Since 1877 he has been continually in
power, save for four years. And Mr.
Creelman finds in his long presidency
a time Of national prosperity and per.
sonal probity.
Surveying the thirty years progress
OF the republic Of Mexico since this
iron hand seized the management, Mr..
Creelman says succinctly:
80 intelligently has Diaz attracted
the leading church families either to
serve the republic or to support it, that
it is wholly improbable, quite aside
from the restrictions of the Constitu-
ton, that Mexico will ever again be
divided in arms on the church ques-
ton: There are about 1000 Catholic
churches in the States and territories
Of Mexico with more than 5000 priests
and 100000 active members, Of whom
some 100000 are children. No one
inJeTleTes and no one thinks of inter
terinS with Ihelf freedom OF worship
Mexican Prosperity.
'Diaz has done his work well. lie
has held his cOuntrymen still, by
harshness and force when necessary,
until the $1,000 miles of railway, the
10000 miles of telegraphs and tele
phones, the $454,91O,775 of annual
foreign commerce, $3.50, 232 ,876 Of year
Is mining products, the immense
growth of manufactures and of agri-
culture representing hundreds of mil
lions Of dollars of Mexican and foreign
capital, the great chain of solyen
banks, the 1880 schools, with thei
10000 professors and teachers, ant
all the thousand productive results o
continued peace, have made civil wa
unattractiye TO any important or mum
erous part of the nation"

dent of the republic. It is that long
stretch Of strong wise, upbuilding, re-
generating craftsmanship that lifts
him in his old age to such a height of
that he is known in all lands
and that his name is accepted every
where as a guaranty for his country"
Banished Yaquis.
The enemies of Diaz find in the va
qui troubles one of the black spots in
modern Mexican history. The Yaquis
are "the farmer tribes of Indians"
who were banished from their own
lands. Mr.. Creelman says Of the va
qui matter:
President Diaz was confronted with
but two alternatives-eith the va
kuis must be eXteTminated of they
must be deported TO some other reg,
ion. All attempts to conciliate the
tribe had failed. Thereupon the Pre-
sident had 5000 or 5000 Yaquis taken
by force to distant Yucatan, where
labor was in great demand on the
htAlNNhNh plohAhNAblAnB anu Wutlt lhtN
were distributed as laborers among
such planters as would be likely t.
prevent any of them from returning
TO Sonora
"This stern nut comparatively merci
fal policy has practically settled tn,
fearful Yaqui question, and today
thousand new forces of productiv,
civilization are at work at Sonora. Il
Yrcbtan the deported YaGuis are real
~ pritoners Of war There is no pre-
tense that they are free, They are no
allowed to have arms, nor can the
go back to their beloved native Stat
in the northwest. In all other respect
they have the same rights and libert
les as the natives of Yucantan, an
; they receive the same pay for tn
same work"

fire the mortars oftener than once Z

necessary in figuring up the data need
