MANCIIHU DYNASTYWINS A VIlTORI

TRIUMPS AT HANKOW JiIVE.IMPERIALISTS A NEW

0CIURAGE.Contract to Borrow $18,000,000 Ii

Made With Belgian Syndicate-Diplomatic Body Meets-Policing of ChLi Province With Troops Held Contrary to Protocol of 1892.

Peking.-The report of an imperialvictory in the vicinity of Hankowwhich has been received from the minister of war, General Yin Tehang, ha.revived the drooping spirits of the ad.ministration. Additional comfort ha<been found in the conclusion of a loan,which Chinese officials say has justbeen arranged with a Belgian syndi-cate having French and British con-nections. This loan is for $18,000,000,the price being 96, with 6 per cent in-terest. The syndicate receives 4 percent commission.

The financial groups representingthe four nations interested in the rail-way loan, the United States, GreatBritain, France and Germany, tookunder advisement a proposition for aloan of $8,000,000, but the UnitedStates financiers decided that the pres-ent is an inopportune moment.

Diplomatic Body Meets.The diplomatic body held a meet-

ing and considered the request of theviceroy of the province of Chi Li forpermission to police Tientsin withtroops, which is contrary to the inter-national protocol of 1902. The min-isters, however, decided to permit theviceroy to do so, owing to the seriousconditions prevailing. The ministersdecided also to authorize the consulsat Hankow to deal temporarily with all.questions cropping up, but the seizureof foreign ships carrying goods thatmight be called contraband of war, asthreatened by the rebel leader, GeneralLi Yuan Heng, can not be permitted.

Regarding the appeal of Shanghaibusiness men through the consuls thata 30-mile zone around Shanghai be de-clared neutral, the ministers declinedto assent, on the ground that it wasa matter for decision by the powers.

Peking Is in Panic.Panic prevails at Peking. Both

Manchu and Chinese families are tak-ing precautionary measures againstimmediate disturbances. The Chineseare alarmed, owing to a report thatthe Manchu garrison intends to begina massacre if it meets with reversesat the hais of the rebels in the south.The Manchus are said also to fear amassacre on the part of the Chinese.Both continue to desert the capital.All trains are delayed and the foreignbanks are receiving deposits andlumps of silver and gold.

Foreign business houses within thelegation quarter are receiving treasurechests for safekeeping at high ratesof storage. Many foreigners livingoutside the legation quarter are be-coming alarmed and are formulatingin conjunction with the legationsmeasures against emergency.

Later Report.Peking.-The situation in Peking is

becoming alarming. A veritable panicprevails among the Manchus, and theManchu women are adopting -Chinesedress. Some of them are attemptingto make their feet appear smaller b1peculiarly constructed shoes.

Almost all departing trains are drawnby two engines, so heavily are theyloaded, the people sitting on top oftheir household belongings. Officialsare seeking asylum for their wives andchildren among the foreigners.

Prior to the revolution, the news-papers frequently cried out against thepresence of foreign soldiers, but thenatives are now fleeing to them forshelter. One report fixes tomorrow nightfor an outbreak, but the presence of15,000 Manchu troops insures the safe-ty of the capital for the present.

The only danger seems to be from asudden attack against the throne and theofficials, which might precipitate thethreatened massacre of the Manchus.Race feeling is becoming intensified.

President Taft at Chicago.Chicago.--President Taft spent a

busy day in Chicago Saturday. IHespoke to the American Mining congressin the morning, indorsing the speechmade by Secretary of the InteriorFisher here and told the members ofthe Chicago Bar association that h,was, and expects always to be, op-posed to the recall of the judiciary:rode 60 miles by special train to dedi-cate the new naval training station atNorth Chicago and addressed at nightthe Chicago Association of Commereon peace and arbitration. Later hewas guest of the city at a local hoteland Sunday and Monday he tried tokeep up with a fairly strenuous pro-gram.
