REAL WAR IN CHINA
GOVERNMENT ENDEAvoRlNG TO
ISOLATE PROVINCES AFFECTED
BY REVOLUTION.
Places Restrictions on Telegraph
Lines and Refuses to Reveal the
Number or Destination Of Troops
Being Sent Out from Pekin.

Pekin.-The Chinese government
has placed several restrictions on the
telegraph lines, evidently for the pur,
pose of preventing communication be-
tween the rebels. The telegraph adj
ministration refuses to transmit mes
sages either to or from the provinces
of HUI Peh, Human, Kiang 81, See
Chuen, Kwai Chow and Yunan.
On this account, Hankow where the
revolution is at its height, is cut off.
1t is not considered possible that the
wires have been cut throughout these
six provinces. Until lately the revolu-
tionaries, having free use of the wires,
received and disseminated information
concerning the progress of their plans
in all quarters.
The government refuses to reveal
the number or the destination of the
troops who are being sent southwark.
Only a single first class train will be
run daily between Pekin and Tient-
sing-Fu, about seventy miles to the
southeast of the capital. This is due
to heavy troop trafhc and FOR the pur-
pose of preventing any great number
of rebels from coming into Pekin. Pas
senger and freight traffic has been
entirely suspended between Pekin and
Hankow.
So far the government has refused
to permit correspondents to accom-
pany the army. Both sides are an
xious to favor foreigners, and it is be-
lieved that the government will re-
consider this refusal if the imperial
lists meet with initial success.
The last dispatch received from
Hankow said that the revolutionaries
had organized Red Cross society
and had invited the cooperation of
the American Episcopal mission. This
invitation was accepted Professionally.
