SHANGHAI, Jan. 6.--The republican
government is assuming u strong position
ana now considers that the future of
China Is entirely In its hands. The lead
ers believe that the country is Rlmeost
unanimously In favor of the republican
movement, ana the regular trained army
will come over TO their side almost to a
man.
The cabinet formed by Or. Sun Yat Sen
today announced the terms II wilt offer 20 I
the Manchus on their submission. These
are much more generous than was at
first believed would be the case. They
include the free grant OF the Forbidden
City and the summer palace in Peklng.
which are worth hundreds OF millions of
dollars. In addition they will be accorded
life pensions and other concessions, to-
gether with equality In citizenship and in
the holding OF offices under the state
The good faith OF the republicans Is
shown by the fact that the Manchus IN
the southern provinces are now being
supported. fed and clothed by the revo-
lutionartes,. and any abuse of them is se-
verely punished by the republican gov
ernment.
CRhInet IL strong One.
The cabinet nominated by President sun
Vat Sen IL regarded generally az a strong
one. Most Of the personages named ao-
cepted the portfolios offered them, but
" ang Chung Wei declined that of for
eIgn affairs. This, however, is regarded
here as form OF concession on his part
to the seniority OF DR.. Wu Ting-tang,
who In his turn begs wang Chung wei
10 accept the post offered him. Wang
Chung Wei is graduate OF Yale, Lon
don, Paris and Berlin, in all OF which
universities he passed with hoRors. he
IL an extraordinarily brilliant lawyer.
Persons we'll informed regarding the
plans OF the revolutionary leaders say
that II is very likely that Tang-shao-Yi,
who was sent here as the representative
OF Premier Yuan Sh Kai at the peace
conference but who was later dlsavowed,
eventually will accept office In the re-
publican government. In the same quar-
ters IL is asserted that the risngs among
the Imperial government troops at Lam
chow and others places in the north are
only part OF a general scheme OF re-
volt against the government. The entire
Chinese army 1t is declared must soon
join In the revolution. The whole OF the
population of the province Of Chilli and
shan 'rung, It is believed are also pre-
pared TO rise at an opportune moment
All Lenders Are Confident.
Absolute confidence prevails among the
leaders of the revolution that the post
tion OF the Picking government and Pre-
mler Yuan Shl kai is a hopeless one.
Yuan Shi Kai. they say is In reality u
prisoner In Peking, where his life is in
danger.
President sun Vat Sen says that his
main desire now Is for peace and prompt
recognition OF the Chinese republic by
the foreign powers. The belligereney OF
the republican government Will. he be-
lleyes, promptly put an end to the hope
less struggle now being carried on by the
old government and will permit tho
country and the outside world TO reap
the benefit OF the changed conditions.
PARIS, Jan. 6.--The possibility OF an
eventual Intervention by the powers In
China In some form Is an absorbing topic
OF discussion just now In diplomatic cir
cles. The feeling. however, Is that moth
ing OF concrete nature is justified or
can be carried out at present. Neverthe-
less the point has been raised informally
in international banking circles as to
the wisdom OF the banking groups and
the powers joining in the arrangement
OF some definite suggestion with the idea
OF conserving the interests OF China
1t is pointed out in authoritative cir
cles that the powers as such are not
able to intervene unless foreign property
tackled and the legations should report
