MARTIAL LAW DECLARED
Act an Admission That Chinese
Situation Is Desperate.

LONDON, July -I.-lne feklng COiIc-
spondent Of The Daily Telegraph
sends the following dispatch tonight:
The declaration of martial law
shows that the northern government
admits its desperate position. This
synchronizes with the creation of 4
complete confederate government at
Nanklng Parliament has not yet been
dissolved, but it is unlikely that it will
survive week.
The war news is battling. but FOR
eign military experts now believe that
the southerners are in far greater
strength than has been supposed. They
are pursuing aggressive tactics every
where.
A private dispatch says that the
southerners have not been repulsed
from the Pukow Railway. Reinforce
ments ar coming daily and Kwang-
Tung promises 10000 troops, half OF
which are due this week.
"An indications point to great ex-
plosion in the Hu-Peh Province. There
is a general reluctance among the
mercantile classes 10 hazard their lives
and fortunes. and the iron will OF the
southern leaders must shortly bring al
into line. The problem is insoluble
save by the fall Of the present regime.
"Dr. Sun Yat-sen. the former provis-
ional President. issued a manifesto to-
night irrevocably backing the rebellion.
He makes three appeals. the first to
Yuan Shlh-kai. recounting the southern
grievances and declaring that just re-
sistance 10 intolerable tyranny is no
rebellion. He concludes:
"I am determined to oppose YOU as
firmly as | did the Manchus. Retire
ment is absolutely your only course in
the face Of the present crisis.
"Dr. Sun Yat-sen said to me person
ally: This fight will continue If IT takes
ten years. ! stake my life on the is
sue"
A Pekng dispatch to The Times"
saws:
The decision of the Nanking army
10 withdraw a hundred miles south 10
a position on the Hwai-HO Is obviously
good stra tegv, although the abandon
ment Of the more advanced position
near the Shan -Tung border Is not
likely TO add to their prestige. on the
other hand, the arrival Of seven thou
sand Hunanese troops at YuChOw,
close 10 the Kiang-Su border, Is sig
nificant OF the sympathies OF Human.
Che -Kiang also actively sympa-
thizes with the revolution. although 10
has refrained from openly declaring
itself"
The Shanghai correspondent Of The
Times" saws: Provided the navy's am
munition holds out. the result of the
rebels attack on the arsenal is not
doubted. The garrison consists Of sea-
soned troops, and their defences are
admirably planned. The southerners
have good officers, but the troops are

There is q general demand among
foreigners for the expulsion of DR.. sun

washington. July 23.-The Chinese rev.

there has been heavy fighting between
the federal and rebel forces at the Kiang-
Nan arsenal there, according to dis
match received at the State Department
from Consul General Wilder The ar

lieved that the foreigners of Shanghai
will experience any difficulties. The city

From advices received here it is be
reved that Vice President Ii Yuan-huns,
leader Of the last revolt and the man VINO
did most of the important fighting around
Hankow, remains loyal to Yuan Shih-kai.
Ii is AT Wu-Chang. which Is across the
Yang-Tse River from Hankow, central
China. 1t is probable. however. that Ii $
position will become very difficult, as he
is known TO be surrounded by large num-
bers OF revolutionary sympathizers. II
may be that they will compel him to side
with them. II has often been said in
China that III did not dare 10 leave WI

would be killed. This may not be true,
but. in any event. Ii has never left MS

Ill 7:3o o'clock. According TO the esti-
mates. coo rebels were killed.
Another attack was also repulsed at l
o'clock Thursday morning, the southern
ors being unabke to gain any ground. Some
reports say that only $3.50 southerners
were engaged in the attacks, but their
casualties largely exceed the original
estimate Many Of the killed were civil
fans
The attacks were delivered simultane-
ously from three sides The thick vege-
tation and insufciency Of men prevented
the garrison from attempting sorte
