CENTS NO NEWS FROM SGENE OF BATTLE Inference is That Imperial Troops Have Not Won a Decisive Victory at Hankow THE LEGATIONS KEPT IN IGNORANCE Apprehension That Foreigners Might Suffer From Stray Shots, Conflagration cr Looting—Bcth Armies Said to be in Danger of Wholesale Desertions—Rebels Reported to Have Force of 12,000 Under Arms. Hankow is again cut off from direct telegraphic communication wtih the outside world. It is not known there- fore whether the fighting which began early Wednesday morning between the revolutionists and the imperial troops continues. The latest advices irnm Hankow in- dicated that the rebels had retired in- 1o Wu Chang, having met with a tem- porary, reverse. But the fact that northing has been received by the le- gation at Peking during the past 24 hours would seem to indicate that the imperialists have not succeeded in forcing a declsive engagement. In assuming the office of viceroy of Iiu-Peh and Hu-Nan, Yuan Shi Kai supersedes in authority the war minis- ier, Ying Tchang. He will probably Jeave tomorrow for Hankow, and goes under orders rigorously to punish the rebel ringleaders. NO NZWS AT PEKING. Many Wild Rumors in Circulation— Rebel Force Numbers 12,000. Peking, Oect. 19.—The foreign lega- tions in Peking haev received no die- spatches from Hankwoy since 6 o’clock Jast evening. The last message from the American consul genera, Roger S. Greene, said only that the fighting had begury It is believed, however, that the concessions in Hankow are safe, and that the ten or twelve foreign cruisers and gunboats in the harbor are ample protection, even from the joint Chinese army and navy. Sty Shells Dangerous. But it will be impossible to prevent gtray shells from threatening the for- eigners, conflagrations and looting by the rabble. It would e difficult to cor- don the concessions, because they are not surrounded by a wall. Only nar- row Streets cut them off from the dcnsely packed Chinese city. Troops Refused to Detrain. A report has reached here that im- perialist troops have refused to de- train at Hankow. Signs of discontent at Hankow are subsiding after vester- day’s fight. The rebels who restreat- ed because of shortage of ammunition and the arrival of government rein- forcements retired in a southerly di- Tection. me of them re-entered the native c of Hankow while others made their way toWards Wu Chang. The loyal troops were not sufficiently Etrong 1o press home any advnatake they gained. Americans Favorably Impréssed. The Ameriean attaches, Lieut. Col- onel William D. Beach and Captain J. H. Reeves, returned to Peknig night, because they were not permit- ted to accompany the troops to Han- kow. They say that the orderliness ana precision 'with which the troop trains are being sent southward is admira- ble. It is thought that both armies are in danger of wholesales diaffection. No concrete idea, either imperial or re- publican, holds the minds of the troops whil general discontent with ba# gov- ernment affects both. For Transportation of Americans. The American legation has asked the Chniese govenment to nnsure the safe transportation of Americans from the Peking-Hankow railway zone, if disorders occur. Rebelts Have 12,000 Soldiers. In_speaking today of conditions in Hu-Peh, Lieut. Colonel Beach says he was informed at Hankow that the reb- els have probably 12,000 soldiers. A Strict Censorship. A strict censorship wa established today on all transprovincial messages regarding military movements, and al- so on all code messages, except con- sular and legation despatches. Even the legations are deprived of news by the interruption of the wires. IN LINE OF FIRING. American University and Hospital in the War Zone. London, Oct. 19.—Fear that the Chi- nese admiral will bombard the rebel camps at Wu-Chang has disturbed the missionary circles in London. Dr. Somerville, 2 member of the London mission at Wu-Chang, who is now here, points out that as Hank-Yang and the native city of Hankow, which are op- posite the rebel camps, are also in the hands of the revolutionists, the impe- rial gunboats will be precluded from taking up a position in the river be- tween the two fires, and so will be forced to thow thei shells from the north., In this case the American Boone university and the Americon Swedish Wesleyan and IL.ondon mis- sion hospitals and schools will all be in_direct line of the firing. Dr. Somerville says that a French agitator who is prominent in the pres- ent outbreak carried on a revolution- ary propaganda at the club connected | with Boone ' university, several of whose students were executed because of their connection with him.

TOM LAWSON NOT GUILTY OF PROMOTING LOTTERY. Massachusetts Judge Orders His quittal On The Charge. Ac- Plymouth, Mass. Oct. 19—A verdict of acquittal of Thomas W.

The court took the case from the jury at the conclusion of the testimony for the prosecution, without hearing any evi- dence for the defense.

The court ruled that no evidence had been introduced to show that Mr. Lawson had been con- nected with a lottery. The prosecu- tion claimed that the equipage offered to the holder of the lucky ticket was merely a pretext to increase the sale 0 admission tickets. The court said that the evidence, showed that the tickets instead of be- ing sold by the Boston capitalist, were sold by the ticket seller at the fair grounds. Judge Quinn quoted the principle of law that in the sale of tickets to the fair no property was i sold, inasntuch as a ticket, instead of being property, is merely a license to erter a certain place and may be r voked by the seller for any good cause. After being ‘discharged. Mr. Law son told the newspaper representatives that next year he would offer to the lucky ticket holder attending the Marshfield fair a pair of horses and a carriage.
