OHINA TAKES DETERMINED STEPS Realizes Situation Faced by Imperial Government-Movement of Troops Continues to Seat of Uprising. Peking, Oct. 16.-Sim,taneously with the acceptance today by Yuan Shi Kai, of the post of viceroy of Hu Peh and Hu Nan provinces, to whi -h ter ritory he is directed to procee, and immediately re-establish imperial au thority, the Chinese government s showing remzrkable activity, even it the face of a -iepleted treasury. The goN e. njimnt seems to realize the necessity c f crushing the rebellion promptly and is dispatching the army to the scene of the revolt as hastily as provision can be made. A few messages are beginning to ar rive from the South, which for some days, was entirely cut off from tele graphic communication, but though lines are open few details of the sit uation in the affected provinces are filtering in. It is believed, however, that a certain measure of order is be ing maintained at Wu Chang and Han kow. Rebels Plan zesistance. Outside of the foreign concessions In Hankow, these two cities are in the hands of revolutionists and the fact that all women and children have left or are leaving Hankow, indicates that the forces under ln=urgent leaders, well armed and well ammu nitioned from the arsenal stores, are preparing to resist the Chi ness army, sev'eral divisions of which . are either on the road to Hankow or are rapidly being fitted out for the ex pedition. The reinforcement of the American legation guard, a hundred of whom - are proceeding from Manilla, while not significant of danger, is neverthe less indicative of tne seriousness of the. situation. Troops Stil Noving. An indication of the activity of the government is seen in the dispatch from Pao Ting Fu of twenty-four army -trains in the last three days. Twelve trains will be dispatched from Peking ad the sixth division, now quartered at Pao Ting Fu, will 'reav'e as soon as eonditions quiet down there.. After tas departure of a single passenger train tomorrow the rafiway bet. en Peking and .Tien 'Fsin will be closed to all but troop traffic. Gen. Yein Tchang, minister of war, whio will have chief command of the government troops, Is a small, thin Manchu. Germ and Austrian offi cers hold the general's report that he has not entire faith in the Chinese troops. Sympathy Wit2a Rebels. According to the ehinese people generally, the Manchus were toler able when they protected the country. New they are worthless. The vast body of Chinese sympathize with the revolutionists, and a srgnifican.t say ing of the soldiers proceeding to the south is "ordinary rebellion would be all right, but *we must now fight against our trained irothers." .The women, in seeing their soldier relatives off to the scene of action, ad-' vise them if there/ is danger to dis-' card their uniformp and walk back. The situation epends on money, and it is admitte~ the ready funds of the Chinese government are low. Further loans /by Torelgn bankers1 have been refus~ed. If the pay of the troops is increjsed and is regularly forthcoming, apd if the men are well fed, they may /not desert.
