RISING IN CHINA
OFFER TO NEGOTIATE. PITIABLE PLIGHT OF REFUGEES. Fresj Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. PEKING, July 26. (Received July 27, at 5.5 p.m.) The rebel leaders have telegraphed to Yuan Shih-Kai proposing a basis for peace negotiations. The northerners have occupied Su-chow-fU' Hunan has proclaimed its neutrality. It is believed that the rebels' influence is waning. The country between the Shanghai arsenal and Hung-hua Pagoda presents a pitiable sight. Whole towns have been burned, and refugees are swarming into Shanghai. The rebels are retreating towards Nanking. Though all of Dr Sun Yat Sen's Tailway concessions have been cancelled, it is expected that the Government will recognise Mr Pauling's British construction of over 800 miles of railway from Canton to Chunking, costing £8,030,000. Troops have been despatched to the south.
