CHINA, is DEAD
London, June 8. - Yuan Shi XII
died yesterday, a Reuter- dispatch
from Shanghai states.
Washington, June g. The state
dept today received. an official report
that Yuan Shi HI is dead. The cable
which contained the notification was
sent in code by the American minis
ter at Pekin.
Yuan Shi Fi, president of the Chi
nese republic, was reported serious
ly i'll several days ago. When he an
nOunced last fall that he would as
cend the throne as emperor of China
a revolt broke out. His coronation,
then set for early spring, was post
poned indefinitely because of the ma
TONS turmoil.
Yuan was born in 1859.
San Francisco, June 6s-Japanese
newspapers recently received from
China contain unofficial rumors that
the illness of Yuan Shi ri was
caused by poisoning. It was reported
that the revolutOnists had many as
sassins in Pekin and that one might
have gained access to the palace.
Observers of Chinese affairs here
were of the opinion that his death
would result in new Uprisings in
Southern China.
