PHOENIX CHINESE
 HELPING REVOLUTION
THEY ARE SUPPLIED WITH MON EY OF THE NEW GOV
 ERNMENT.
Manifesto of pr. Sun Vat Sen the
 Recognized Leader.

A number of the Phoenix Chinese are authority for the statement that
 some months ago pr. sun Vat Sen,
 whom the dispatches credit with be- ing the head of the Chinese revOlu- tion, was a visitor in this city and that he was then planning for the festivities that are now taking place in China, particularly the financial end of the undertaking. It was men toned in the dispatches a few days ago that the revolutionistS in the districts where they are operating. are are paving their bills with money of their own making and are even re- deeming government pledges in dis turbed districts, with the same sort of Wampum.
 Phoenix Chinese when questioned. reluctantly admit, but nevertheless some of them do admit, that to help along what they believe to be a good cause, they exchanged good American money in liberal quantities. for bills issued by the revolutionary junta. which they believe will be worth face value before any great length of time has elapsed. These bills are printed in English on one side and in Chinese on the other
 The Phoenix Chinese who are frien- ly to the rebels say that they believe the present revolution. which is one of many undertaken against the reigning Manchu dynasty. will sue cecd, because it is already widespread and has a still wider sympathy through the realm, but what is more tO the point. they now have a better knowledge Of matters military They have always been willing to fight but did not know how and now they have learned the art of war They say that the Manchus came over the Chinese wall from the north some 260 wears ago and seized the government which they have held ever since: that they are not the real Chinese race but are Tartars: that the real Chi nese are Cantonese and the adjacent provinces, which far outnumber the Manchus, and they believe now that their day of deliverance is at hand.
