The scene was most impressive. The

The catafalque was Immediately un-

But it Will be impossible to prevent

The German legation at Picking to-
day denied the report that German

munications early last evening re-
ceived dispatch which mentioned
| Siaoshan. in Hu-Peh province, as hav-
Ing been captured by the rebels

Chinese gunboats took little part in
yesterdays fighting. as direct fire
would have endangered their own
troops, while flank fire would have
involved bombardment over the
| foreign concessions.
! Signs of discomfort 1T Hankow are
subsidng after yesterdays fight The
rebels who reiterated because of short
I age of ammunition and the arrival of
government reinforcements. retired in
aoutherly direction. Some of them re-
entered the native city of Hankow,

Colonel William D. Beach and Captain

precision with which the troop trains

Fear DisIoyaIty.
! That~the rebels did not advance along
the railway prior to the arrival of the
imperial troops may not have been ow-
ing to lack of initiative, but to the
possibility that the revolutiont5t s
would prove disloyal to the new re-
public which the leaders are bent upon

affection. No concrete idea, either i'm

OF the troops, while general discomfort
with bad government affects both.
Reports that the infant Emperor has
been taken to Ten Tsin and secretly
