Capture of Fugitive Pres
ident Sun.
Ry the Associated Press,

PEKING, June c2-The newly es-
tablished republican regime in China
apparently is receiving that baptism
of blood without which few new gov
ernments have fixed themselves in
power
Between ten thousand and fifteen
thousand troops of the forces under
WI Pei-F'u. chief military leader OF
the new government, have mutinied
and slain thousands of persons in
kiangsi province. according TO re-
ports reaching here.
DR.. Sun Vat Sen, deposed president
of the Canton government. is a pris-
oner aboard the cruiser Haichi. ~h'ch.
with other vessels of the chinese
navy, at Canton. has been handed
over to the provisional government
established there by Suns enemies,
which adhere to the republican gov
ernme Mt at Peking.
RuthIesSness Extnnt.
So far reports of the mutinies are
vague. but those telling of the broad
extent of the mutineers' ruthlessness
apparently are authentic. Todays
dispatches indicate that the situa-
ton in Kiangsi province is worse, II
ANYTHING, than it was last night.
Reports of activities, of the mutt
nous troops. received from HanRoW
and Nanchang. stated that the mutt
neers were led by Gen. Tsai Chen
Hsun. military commander or PeKihs,
who was leading his men northward
and approaching Changshu Hi, city
about one hundred miles north or

To Rescue of Foreigners.
The British gunboat Cock-Chafer
entered Poyang lake, a large inland
body of water i'll the northern end of
Kiangsi province. to pick up 1or-
eieners in danger at Nanchang.
The American gunboat Monocacy
probably will follow the Cock -Chafer.
Northern reinforcements of WI Pei
Fu forces are arriving at kiukians.
and proceeding to Nanchang.
The American gunboats Isabel and

Secretary's Good Offices"
Are Expected to End Dead
lock on Boundary Dispute.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Definite and substantial progress
toward a compromise to break the
Chilean-Peruvian conference deadlock
already has been attained through the
good offices" of Secretary Hughes.
Although the Secretary has not yet
developed his suggestions to the point
of a formal compromise proposal. it
was learned today that conference Off
cials had received from him plain in
timations of definite plan of settle
ment which he believes may be found
acceptable to both sides.
Secretary Hughes Plan.
Briefly. the plan is understood to pro-
vide for arbitration of the appropriate
method of fulfilling article OF the
treaty of Ancon, which deals with
tion in part on the Chilean and in part
on the Peruvian attitude as to Just what
the method of treaty fulfillment should
be.
At least one of the delegations to the
conference is understood to have indi-
Gated its willingness TO accept such a
plan. although both must have more
definite Instructions from their govern
ments before they can act. The Chilean
and Peruvian groups alike are in COM
munication with their capitals, and pos
ltive results arc looked for wltnin a
day or two.
Much Diplomacy Used.
Until the present process of informal
inquiry has shown the readiness OF
both sides to accept the suggested CON-
promise. Mr.. Hughes is expected to
withhold any submission of the plan in
definite form. BY that method of pro-
cedure, it is explained, he will avoid
any appearance of having forced the
issue and at the same time will make
il possible for either side. without en-
barrasement. to make suggestions foI
perfection of the formula.
