DECISIVE
Fight OF War
Great Battle Is Pending Today
In China
REBELS ARE WELL PREPARED
OPPOSING FORCES IN GREAT
CHINESE WAR DRAMA EXPECT
ED TO COME TOGETHER FOR
THE BATTLE WHICH WILL
TELL THE FINAL TALE.

Shanghai, China. Nov. 1s.-~It was
expected here this morning that the
revolutionaries and imperial troops
would come 10 a clash before night
fall somewhere in the district be-
tween Chin -Kiang and Marking. II
the revolutionary forecasts are correct
this will be the beginning of the de-
cisive battle of the war.
The revolutionary strategists have
planned their attack carefully. Dur
Ing the last three days large body
Of rebel troops with guns. provisions,
ammunition and horses has been de-
spatched for Chin Kiang by rail.
Thence they are advancing today on
Marking, forty-five miles distant.
simultaneously other bodies OF
troops are converging on the imperial
outposts via the Yangtse river and a
small tributary stream from the in
terror with the object OF delivering the
attack from three sides.
The equipment Of the revoiutio'ta
aries Is excellent and they are va
onlcered. Many Of the leaders his /
had foreign military training
The enthusiasm Of the troops Is
amazing. Many have dead relatives
to avenge and all are wrought up &c
a high pitch by the accounts Of
atrocities perpetrated at Marking by
General Chang's troops.
The estimates OF the strength Of the
imperial forces vary widely. The
backbone Of Chang's army, it appears
consists OF 10000 Shan Tung troops
1t i$believed. however, he Is short OF
ammunition and poorly equipped with
artillery.

suls have assumed control Of the i'm

nize the provisional government pend
ing the confirmation OF its authority
from Foo Chow, the capital OF the
province.
The revolutionary forces are re-

picked men have been sent to the
interior of the province to restore or

Today's report from Chang Chow
