CHINGTU BELEAGURED.
,- (Received Sept. 18, 8.30 a.m.) PEKIN, Sept. 17. Ten thousand men, armed with matchlocks, are besieging # Chingtu. The defective communications delay the possibility of reinforcements. Tsen-chan-shu, a former Viceroy, Sze Chuan and Kwang-tung, who ruthlessly suppressed the previous rebellion, have been sent to the disturbed districts. The officials at Chingtu fear that any attempt to raise the siege may send 2000 modern drilled troops, who are outside the walls but neutral, over to the rebels. , :
