 Foreigners With Warships.

pekin, Oct. 15.-To give China, as the rebel Viceroy Tang said today, "a government like that of America the anti Manchus are waging rev olulion which, unless 1t is checked or is soon successful, actually will become a warfare of extinction.
 The situation tonight is even more serious than it was yesterday or last night. The imperial goveIn- ment is drawing on it's every re- source to put down revolt that IS growing hourly. The rebels are perfecting their organization as they conquer new territory with the aid of thousands of troops who have deserted the imperial ranks.
 Meanwhile, the country is seeth- ing cauldron of red revolution, with murder and arson the chief weapons of the fiendishly determined insur- gents.
 Wu Chang Proclaims Republic.
 Wu Chang and Pekin are the plv- otal points of the war. China, at Wu Chang is a republic, proclaimed yesterday.
 In Pekin, the Manchu dynasty, by countless royal edicts, is directing merciess extermination Of the rebels.
 A condition of panic prevails within the Manchu court Extra ordinary precautions have been talk en to protect the prince regent, in the fear of an attempt at assassl- nation. The imperial household IS i'll complete disorder
 The war officials are encounterlng great difficulty in moving troops to the revolutionary centers, owing to the precautions taken by the rebels to cripple the railroads, except be- tween points which they themselves wish to reach.
 Little sympathy is expressed for the Manchu throne. The educated Chinese are completely in accord with the revolution.
 Imperial Throne Totters.
 Incoming dispatches that evade the government censor indicate sev- |eral new uprisings. The viceroy of Maxim has telegraphed for more troops, plainly expressing his doubt that imperial authority can be maintained in his province. Similar advices have been received from Canton, where an outbreak is ex- pected at any moment. Uprising with massacres of Manchus are re- ported from Tien Tsin and Pae Ting Flu.
 Yuan Shi, Kai, China's iron man, formerly commander-in-ch of the army and navy, and who was .banished three years because his power had aroused the jealousy of the Manchus, has been recalled by royal edict and made viceroy of Hupeh and Human provinces with orders to proceed to Wu Chang and re-establish his royal authority in that city. The decisive battle of the revolution may be fought there,
 By the same imperial edict Yuan Shi Kai will have the assistance of Admiral Sah Cheng Ping, command CT of the navy, and Get Yien Tchane of the army of the north.
 Will Lombard Chang.
 The first step by Yuan Shi Kai will be the bombardment of Wu Chang.
 The residents of that city are al- ready fleeing for safety. Great fear is felt for the foreign residents, both of Wu Chang and of Hankow
 The foreign consuls at the latter city have requested the diplomatic bodies to make representations to the Chinese government, asking that the bombardment be conducted so as to not endanger the foreigners.
 At Hankow four British warships, two German and two Japanese navy vessels are protecting the foreign quarters.
