The Yangtze Valley with its uprisings, wars and mutinies is being seriously viewed by the United States and the news reached Peking to-day that this fall, Ame: rica will have a Rear-Admrial in command of the Yangtze fleet of gun bants.

The decision of America to place an admiral icon mand, evidences keen apprehension re garding the whole Yangtze Valley situa tion.

AN APPEAL TO THE DIPLOMATIC CORPS,

The following remarkable document has been delivered to the Diplomatic Corps in Peking and to the various foreign Consulates in Hankow.

To the Diplomatic Body in Peking and the Consular Corps in Hankcow.

Dear Sirs-We have the honour to inform you that we are convinced that, in order to secure the safety of the Ro public of China and the restoration of her political order, it is absolutely neces sary to introduce the system. of Self- Government into every province.

Further, it is the duty of the military and property of all residents, foreign and governor of a province to protect the life Chincae, within that pro

province.

But Wang Changyuan, Military Gov. ernor of Hupeh, has put in check all the movements towards Self-Government in Hupeh and having held up the his soldiers to enrich himself, brought of Pay

with the result that thousands of lives mutinies throughout the Province. and hundreds of millions of property, foreign and Chinese, have been lost. |

For these reasons, we have

Under whatever circumstances, none of these soldiers is allowed to cause any trouble. We sincerly hope that, in order to avoid any misunderstanding on the part of your subjects or citizens in China you will kindly inform them of the aim and the nature of our movement
