THE KWANGSI REBELLION.
His Excellency is to keep fewer men around his sacred person and send every available man into the field. A few victories would
give his troops courage. But with a smail army to guard the Viceroy and a smaller ope to fight means, as it did last year, certain failure. We learn that, in consequence of the gravity of the situation the usual elabor- ate preparations for the celebration of the Empress Dowager's birthday will not be canied out this year. An Imperial decree has been issued by the Emperor under instruc- tions from the Empress Dowager, stating that owing to exigencies of the times, as the war in Manchuria, the disorders in Kwangsi and other troubles, the Empress Dowager has refused to give consent to the Emperor's prayer that her coming seventieth birthday celebration be carried out in full and the high officials of the Empire are ordered not When her to send their usual tributes. Majesty was at Hsian some years ago, the high provincial officials sent gifts which she accepted as they had incurred much trouble and expense in transporting them to such a distance but since her return to Peking, the high officials have been doing the same, an act which the Throne by no means ap. prove, owing to the changes that have taken place since therefore it must be discontinued. With the war still going on between Russia and Japan in Manchuria and the disorders continuing in Kwangsi, her Majesty could not find it in her heart to celebrate her birth day in an elaborate manner while her people are suffering in Manchuria and Kwangs from war, rebellion and famine.

There has been considerable excitement in Canton during the past few days especial ly in official circles. For some time it has been known that His Excellency Tsen Ch'un-hsuen had decided to go in person to the seal of trouble and make a determined effort to bring the present state of unrest to an end either by crushing the rebels or by buying over the leaders. But the state of the Viceroy's health led many to doubt the truth of the reports and to suspect that His Excellency was talking for the benefit of the public. However, preparations were hurried for. ward and soon no doubt was left as to the intentions of Viceroy Tsen, and on Saturday, as reported to us from Canton by wire, he was on his way to Kwangsi. But tongues have not ceased to wag. On every hand the question is asked: "Why should the Viceroy go?" The truth seems to be that the Viceroy is mortified by his failure to subdue the rebels. He went to Canton to quiet Kwangsi and has not done it. He was loud in He has lost face. his boasts when he arrived. One campaign, it was said, would be sufficient to crush the whole rebellion.
