GEN. HOMER LEA's CHANCE,


The dispatches say that General
Homer Lea, with DR.. Sun Yat Sen, has
landed at Penang, Straits Settlement, on
their way to China. General Lea is said
10 be slated to take charge of mill
tarv operation IN China on the part Of
the revolutlonists. DIR. Sun Vat Sen is
the soul Of the revolution. the man
whom the Manchu dynasty hates worse
than any other Chinaman, and who is
supposed to stand in the same relation
to the liberty of China that Mazzini
did TO the liberation OF Italy.
General Lea Is not without expert
cnce in Chinese warfare. He was born
IN Denver November II, 1876. and fin.
ishcd his education in Stanford Uni.

him and 20 with him TO China General
Lea has been mixel M in Chinese af-
fairs before. He undertook the relief Of
Ewang llsu, Emperor Of China, in 1900
1901, when the Emperor came out so
sensationallv for reform and issued his
reform cdicls. The great Empress
Dowaeer, however, quickly captured the
Emperor through the treacbcry of
Yuan-Shi- kai, who was trusted by
kwanC Hsu, but who played him false,
deserting to the party of the Empress
Dowagcr. The Young Emperor was
never released from captivity, and prob.
ably was poisoned. In that enterprise,
however, General Lea raised and com.
msndei the second army division, and
continued in that command until 1904
holding the rank of lieutenant general
in the Chinese army.
General Lea has been writer of
some sensational works, the chief of
which was "The Nalor Of Ignorance,
