PekinR. oct 2l-General Yin Tchans, the
War Minister. who is in the neighborhood
OF Sin-Yang- Chau. in Ho-Nan province,
has completed IN, mobilization Of twenty
thousand men, but the opinion is held here
that he has no intention for the present
TO begin an advance against the revoiu-
tionaries holding the towns Of Wu-Chang,
Han-Yang and Hankow.
The provinces Of IIo-Nan and Hu-Peh
are divided by high range or hills
through which the only pass Tor many
miles is traversed by the railway IL Is
renorted that this pass is held by the
rebels. who have posted many guns. They
are supposed to have cut Of three thou
sand imperial troops VINO are heeihs
northward from Hankow.
The government first mentioned h"ans-
sbui which IS on the south slope OF the
hills a. the place of Yin Tchangs moolh-
,,,ior bpt evidently the War Minister has
49,, content TO assemble his forces on the
north side Of the hills. The pass Is be-
lieved TO be impracticabie by the troops
under Yin Tchang. That he will reinforce
,t,,,,, NAV, he doubted. because Of the grow
,rg foaling that II will be necessary 10
retain all available forces as near 10 rex
ing a. possible
II is stated significantly that Yin Tchans
intends 10 perfect his organization before
advancing against the rebels holding
uwanp-Chow. which IS some miles below
Hankow. at the narrOwest point Of the
Yang Tse-Kiang.
4 reliable report has reached here that
on the morning OF October is the Third
Brigade of government troops arriving at
the Iiu-C Mao stations were fired upon
by the rebels with thlrty-six field guns
whereupon the whole brigade stampeded
10 the north The provincial troops FASTENED
10 their aid, but without avail. The i'm
Iserial troops were iE a state Of consterna-
tion. and the rout could not be checked.
Rebels Hold kwanq- Shu7
The same advices add that the brigade
had no option but TO return to Yang
Chau and await reinforcements. Liu-C CHA
Mao is about sixty-five miles to the north,
east Of Kwang- Shut. and 1t is therefore
evdent--if the report Of the rout Is true
that the government does not hold Kwang-

Peking. oct. 21.-It is useless 10 at
tempt 10 disguise that the government
Is facing dangerous crisis. The whole
region south Of the Yangtse is alien
ated and militant Righteousness Is
spreading along the Ysngtse Valley.
The capitulation Of additional cities
indicates good organization in the lead
ershp, and the ability Of the government
10 cope with the movement IS open 20
doubt on account Of the uncertainty Of
the loyalty and efficiency Of the troops
and Of the navy.
The government is agitated and open
" concerned 1t would he unjustifiable
70 say that the rule Of the Manchus is
IN danger of overthrow but II is certain
that this rebellion. If even only partly
successful. will lead 10 some Of the more
important reforms and concessions the
people demand.
The government undoubtedly faces 4
hard task in attempting TO satisfy the
progressive sentiment prevalent through
out the empire particularly in the
south central part, where it is now most
active.
Both sides are protecting foreigners.

Damp for the Spectators.

AS for the spectators. the afternoon
was one Of all pervading dampness. In
all some five thousand persons braved
the rain of the early morning and made
tho trip TO the Point. Most Of them
came by boat and train, and there were
practically no automobiles. although in
former years coming by motor car was
by far the most popular way. Paths TO
the stands there were none. and II was
necessary for those vending their way
gameward to wade through seas Of mud
and water. both inside and outside Of the
inclosure. Their plight was even more
uncomfortable when they found their
seats. which were covered with a film Of
water that would not brush off. Con-
sequently, nearly every one who saw the
game sat in a puddle and with an
umbrella overhead tried 70 ward off the
rain. On the whole. it was a miserable
two hours for everybody, players as well
as spectators.
The game in itself was not an exhibit
ton Of football. although il brought out
In a marked degree the relative ability
Of the players Of the opposing teams to
follow the ball and handle II cleanly
when It fell within their clutches. N
this feature the Yale eleven was wo-
fully weak. and. as one of the players
said after the game. if the team had
been able 20 keep its hands on the ball
there might have been another story.
But it wasn't, and the Army boys
were But IL was not only in looking
after the ball that the Yale teaiL fell
down. The line. which was supposed to
be such a wonderfully wrought piece Of
football machinery, was not exceptionally
strong. The Army was able 10 push II
aside when needed. and managed TO
make two first downs, while the New
Haven men were not able 10 penetrate
the West Point defence for a series Of
consecutive gains that would have given
the required distance on straight rush

West Point. oct. 21.-Yale's football
eleven came to grief in its quest for re-
venge on the West Point team this
afternoon. and was defeated for the sec
ond time in two years by the Army
Deans touchdown and the goal re-
sultant coming within the first three
minutes Of play. after tie Army had
blocked one Of Yale's punts on the -
yard line. gave the service eleven the
victory by a score Of 6 10 q.
Again in the second period of the first
half the Army came within an ace Of
scoring. when Gillespie ran fifty
three yards with the ball and was
downed on Yales two-yard line. The
Army tried to put the ball over for the
second score. but a penalty for holding
set the West Pointers back fifteen yarcs.
Rain that came down in torrents s.d

existed on the parade grounds have sell

in- feld before the game began was a
swamp. The players were soaked and
plastered with mud.
They slid along the slippery gridiror
and were wholly unable 70 gain pur-
chase on the solid earth. Time after
time PLAYS which should have been
fruitful were ruined by the slippery ball.
which became so Shiny that II was prac-
tically impossible 10 hold II after the
first few seconds of the contest. Both
teams suffered equally. but It was ny

Army Tackles Roughly.

Sharp and at times hard and rough
tackling marked the work Of the Army,
but in almost every case the tackles
were cleaner cut than those OF the Yale
eleven. The Army ends were down the
field under everything, and when the
Yale backs fumblcd-and that was not
infrequently-the service men were on
the ball with the sureness and precision
Of panthers. In getting his man Giles
ME was a wonder for the Army. Devore.
too. stood out by reason Of his keen
diagnosis Of the play that was coming
and his ability to jump In and smear the
man with the ball before he made a
move in his tracks.
Devore. however. brought upon himself
the criticism of more than one spectator
because Of his at times unwarranted
roughness. once when Merritt. the Yale
quarterback, caught a punt about in
middeld Devore nailed him with a tackle
around the neck and brought him down
like a hundredweight Of coal. He didn't
LET go when they struck the ground,
either, and the two rolled over and over
in the mud. When they were separated
Merritt was for going after the Army
player, but wiser counsel prevailed and
he was held back. That was only one
instance Of Devore's tackling, although
IL seemed that he was at fault more
because OF overeagerness than because
of Intentional rough play.
The Yale team was shifted ABOUT con
siderably and only five of the men who

Seattle, oct. 21.-For fourteen years
Chandler Rogers. Of No. AIS West 32d

around this country under the name Of
George Kelly. Two months ago he was
married at Port Blakeley. Wash. Two
weeks ago bloodhounds found him raving
mad and naked in the woods miles from
home. He crawled about on his hands
and knees and barked back at the dogs.
He was brought TO the Providence Hos
pital here. and Drs Sturgis and Elmore
performed a delicate operation. removing
piece Of bone that was pressing on his
brain. The supposed insane man not
only recovered his senses but recovered
his identity as well.
His remarkable story ss that he was
set upon at 18th street and Eighth ave-
me. New York. on May I. 1897. Just
after he had accompanied his sweetheart
home. Three men beat him with black
River. The last he remembers was being
hauled out Of the river. His mind is a
blank after that. He wrote a long let

campaign, returned from Hawaii this
morning, and he took over from Dr.

Drs. Blue and Currie, and carried on
for the last ten days by DR.. Marshall.

found that most of the plantations
have accomplished wonders in the
way of sanitation said DR.. Mccoy
"The board Of health is doing good
work right along the line, and the in
spectors there know their duties thor
oughly.'
The digging and hauling of banana
stumps will be finished in about ten
days, and then the efforts of the
workers will be devoted to installing
drip cans, removing all possible con
tainers, such as bottles and cans, and
to oiling every possible place a mos
quito can breed.
The rain that has fallen in the last
couple of days has stirred up the drip
can brigade, and as many of the
catch basins now have water in them
it has been decided to go ahead with
that portion of the work at once.
The work of hauling is being car
ried on as fast as possible, and the
banana stumps and stalks are being
dumped in low lying places. Earth is
then put on top, and it is thought that
the places will become very fertile
plots later on.
