1t is believed that the revolutiona
ries will attempt to destroy the rail
ways and prevent the transport into
Hu Peh province of the troops that
were concentrated in SEE Chuen last
month.
An imperial edict issued today or.
ders that the minister of war, Gen

er- and join the land forces in an at
tack on the rebels now in possession

The edict cashiers the viceroy at
WI Chang who fled before the rebels
but at the same time orders him to
return to his post and retrieve his |

the bridges burned. The situation is
most serious.
The losses in the fighting aggre-
gate several hundred, but practically
all the dead are Manchus. The slo

down with the Manchus" Thus far
there has been no indication of an
