ALLEGED REASON FOR THE COUP D'ETAT,

(5) All of our subjects, officials and Ministers | musi acknowledge that we have tried in every way to advance nur Empire and make ber strong and wealthy, by the in-gration of reforms. We never, bonever expected to find the 3rd class Board Secretary, King Yo-wel, reke advantage of these steps to consommate hly Fyll and tron berous plans of subverting thi dynasty and that he dared, the other day, in prosecution of his nefarious designs ta conspire to surround Eho Park, capture and exile the persons of the Emorces Dowaect and ourself. Fortunately the conspiracy was fooed cat in time by us and at once set at nanght. We bear also that the conspiratore established that Patriotis Associatias-Poo Kwo-kud --for their purpose, one of their principal tenete beleg that "In defendingthe Emplrethey were deferding the country of Chlax and not the Mancha dynasty !" All know that we try to rate this Empire by pur filial plety towards the Empresi-Dowager; bet King Yo-wel's doctrines have always been opposed to the socient Confucian teneta. Owing, however, to the ability shown by the ald Kang Yowel In modern and practical matiers we sought to take advantage of I bỵ appolating him a Secretary of the Trung Vamen, and sab equently ordered him to Shanghal to direct the management of the offcial newspaper there. Instead of this how- ever, be dired sill to remalo la Peking persulag The Emperor has ordered me to go abroad his nefarlanı denigas agalest the dinasty, and mad procare assistance for him.

While I was fu Shangout I requested diately arrested and punished for the crime of the British Consal to wire to the Foreign Office rebellion.

During the last four weeks, he has sacceeded to gathering Impromptu" army of upwards of 2000 men, and what most astonishes Europeans here, le the fact, that most of his men are armed with breech-loaders, and a personal guard of bis (consisting of upwards of 100 men) have gat Wt chester rifles, Three days ago he let his stro ghalds, and drew closer to hungking; be divided his forces, so a to bave a squidion oa eliber side of the river.
