Shanghai, 21st November. On the night of the 19th inst., without any premonitary signs, a rebellion brake out in Anking, tho Capital of Anhui Province; the in- surgents attacked the capital.

The military opened fire; the rebels being unable to withstand the resistance dispersed in disorder, leaving many dead and wounded.

The rising is of a somewhat serious character. Fortunately, however, the Governor of Aahul has just returned from the military mancet- vres and, on hearing of the insur- rectionary rising, he commanded the troops to mount six guns whichi he had trained on the rebel camp. The artillery opened fire resulting in the insurgente fleeing for their "lives.

Later.

The Imperial troups were vie torious in their encounter the leiders of the rebellious movement have been taken prisoners.
