Leavens and Miss Leavens, son and daughter of MT. and Mrs. r. J. Leavens of Broadway, the form CT being at the Yale China mission and the latter near Pekin. They were ir the mountains during the summer but it is supposed that Miss Leavens is now stationed near Pekin. Asno direct communication has been receiv- ed from them since the disturbance started it is thought that they have been cut off from outside communi- cation by the revo1utionists.
 Changsha is about 200 miles from Fankow which is the seat of the up rising. There is not little uprising about Pekin.
