A large force OF rebels has set out
for Wusung, ten miles up the river.
and a report that the city has fallen.
together with all the forts along the
river. is expected hourly.
Other forces are advancing on Nan
kin and Ching Kiang. The province
Of Yunnan seeded and declared its
independence.
The capture OF this city was accom-
plished with astonishing ease. There
has been no fighting or disorder and
the sudden movement was unexpect-
ed.
The police and native soldiers made
no attempt to interfere. All the OH
Gals quietly gave up their offices to
the rebels and thousands OF residents
swarmed into the streets wearing
a band of white about their arms. sig
nifying their sympathy with the new
regime. An attempt was made to cap
ture the taotai. but he had fed with
the appearance OF the FIRST rebel nag.
The rebel leaders have notified the
foreign consuls that they have estab-
ilshed a republican government and
that all foreign concessions and sub
jects will be amply protected.
II Is stated that the rebels are plan
ming to concentrate all their forces
at Wuchang. evacuating Hanyang for
that purpose.
Peking.-The national assembly
completed a draft OF the bases upon
which II proposes to construct the
new constitution Of China. II was
submitted to the throne and accepted
Immediately. The tentative plan pro
vides for the perpetuity Of the Manchu
dynasty. The power OF the emperor
is closely restricted by the constitu-
ton. which is to be written by the

The imperial princes are made in
