CHINESE EMPEROR
IS READY TO FLEE
Rebels Threaten to Carry the
Revolt to Pekin.
Chinese Minister of War Reported to
Have Been Assassinated by His
Own Troops-Canton De-
cared Captured.

With the imperial troops in the CEN
trail portion of China cut off from
Pekin and the rebels threatening to
give the signal for revolt in the en-
pire's capital, the emperor and all
others of the royal family are ready
to flee from the sacred precincts Of
the Forbidden City.
The road to Jehol, lis miles north
northeast of Pekin, and the railroad
line to Tientsin are studded with
troops. 1t is believed the guardians
OF the infant emperor will flee with
him to one of those places.
In Tientsin the emperor would be af-
forded shelter in the foreign settle
ments, while in Jehol he would be
among his own people, the Manchus.
A dispatch from Shanghai says: "a
Chinese newspaper announces in an
extra edition that the minister of war,
General Yin Tchang, who commanded
the imperial forces in central China,
has been assassinated by his troops.
u6 paper says also lldI SdulOu
been seized by revolutionists. Great
bloodshed is reported there"
News from the lower Yangtse valley
is all discouraging to the government.
With Kiu-Kiang in undisputed possess
sion Of the rebels, the imperial fleet
retreated on down the river, some Of
the vessels being reported as far east
as Wu-Hu.
Conditions are ominous not only in
Wu-Hu but also in Marking. Most Of
the Manchu officials have left these
two cities and are crowding into
Shanghai, where every hotel is filled
with refugees.
The taotai of Shanghai became so
alarmed over the possibility of the
secession Of the native city to the reb-
els that he removed his household to
the foreign settlement. The taotai of
Nanking 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 long time.

it was accepted or not, that he intends
