Amoy, China, Dec. 26.-The com- | mander of the expedition which was | ment to the northern coast districts -on December 12 to restore order there reports that in the towns of Chuan-Chow and Engcohoon quiet has geen re-established. In the coun- | try districts, however, conditions are rather serious and there has been considerable resistance. Two vil- lages have been burned by the troops on account of their inhabitants hav- ing harbored robbers. A temporary cessation of clan fighting has been brought about at Hui-An during the presence of the troops. Shanghai, China, Dec. 26.--Pre- mier Yuan-Shi-Kai's decision to sub- | mit the proposal for the meeting of a special national assembly <to - de- cide on the future form of govern- ernment in China to the considera- | tion of the Manchus on becoming known here caused considerable sat- isfaction. hal According to the leaders now in Shanghai Premier Yuan-Shi-Kai's consent is tanta- mount to the admission that he him- stood that Tank-Shao-Yi, who is rep- resenting Premier Y®tan-Shi-Kai here, had already informed the rev- olutionary leaders at the peace con- ference that Yuan-Shi-Kai person- ally/was in favor of a republic. Tang- Shao-Yi now admits that Yuan-Chi- Kai is in full agreement with the revolutionary plan and is only seek- ing to secure assurances regarding the future treatment of the imperial clan and the Manchu people and also in Peking when the final announcement is made. When Tang-Shao-¥Yi had fully re- alized the true situation in the south Yuan-. he telegraphed to Preinier Shi-Kai suggesting that an edict ' should be issued leaving the decision | as. to the form of government to the people of China, through a national convention. The leaders of both parties here say that the convention will be a purely formal affair. There can in . their opinion be no question regard- ing the result of such a convention which they assert can be called to- gether within thirty days. The present situation, it is said by the revolutionary leaders, was fully anticipated. Every detail of the plans is already for the forma- tion of a provincial government and the eventual establishment of a sta- ble government. Washington, Dec. 26..-The arriv- al of four more naval vessels of the United States Asiatic fleet at Shang- { hai has made it apparent that the United States is keeping a close watch on the situation there, where is ‘being held the peace conference between the revolutionary delegates, headed by Dr. Wu Ting Fang, and the imperial representatives, headed | by Tang Shao Yi. With the arrival of the cruisers New Orleans, Cincinnati, Albany and the torpedo boat destroyer Dale, the total of American naval vessels in the waters around Shanghai is rais- ed to 12. The other vessels are the torpedo boat destroyers Decauter and Bain- bridge, colliers Abranda and - Nan- shan, cruiser Saratoga, naval trans- I port Rainbow and tender Pompey.
