Peking.-There is no doubt that more
serious news than that OF the deieat
of the Government troops by the reVo'

been received at Peking, but not pub
lished. There are persistent rumors
that Admiral Sab Chen Pings flagship
was sunk or captured.
1t is reported that the rebels are
now holding Hwangchow, at the mar
rowest point of the Yangtze river, and
that they are also in possession OF
Ichang and the railway near Kwang'
shut.
A dispatch from Shanghai confirms
the report as to the defeat of Ad'
miral Sab. Admiral Sab is said 10
have retired to Kiu Kiang with his
disabled vessels, excepting one that
was sunk, the sailors surrendering 10
the revolutionists.
5000 Reported Killed.
The dispatch puts the imperial loss
in the Hankow battle at 5000 killed,
besides many wounded now cared for
by the Red Cross Society OF the revo'
lutionists.
General Chang Piao, the military
Governor, was put to death and Suit
Ching, Viceroy, was degraded by the
Imperial Government for allowing the
Province of Hu Peh and Human to
pass into the power of the rebels
