TlieV i: tJail'y l Chronicle publishes- Dr Sunyatkeri'-s -letters to an" Angld-Amerr-' can grdtefrWuankers, when visiting-Eng-land iii^antf-ry last. The correspondence r^yeafls" that the rising -was carefully engineered. He appealed for half a million tg! assist the movement, and declared that the whole of southern China was ready to rebel. . The correspondence also shows . that a Chiriese bank, three rice mills m Bangkok, several merchants at. Singapore, arid -thre^e mine owners m the Malay States; whose property aggregates £2,000,000, offered the American capitalists to guarantee pr Sunyatsen's loan. While the capitalists 'we're inquiring into the matter, Dr Sunyatsen went on a secret mission, and afterwards reported that various divisions: of the modern drilled army south of the Yangis were strongly 'pro-revolu-tion, and that an understanding had been reached, whereby they, would cqme / over x when the revolution gained a footing, while' the loyalty of seven divisions had greatly , diminised since Yuenshikai's degradation. Dr Sunyatsen added • that "another division m Manchuria,: commanded by a, revolutionary general, can be depended. upon to operate. against, Peking, and many officers and sailors m the :navy are . also revolutionists. . The report continued that : the recent intervention .of the 'Chinese populace m the Macao dispute . between China and Ppr-' tugal showed that the whole south" is ready "for a general uprising. The pre : serif position resertibles a forest of :drjf wood which requires one spark, which is the half million. loah. The tedders are' not men of financial standing, but their ability is equal to any m the world, and Dr' Sunyatsen offered the financiers' thjpF right of appointing their own nominees' to control the finances of the" revolution. He said that the loan could be repaid many times over, when a city like Canton was captured. - '■ The • Tiriies ' P'elcin correspondent says that the sympathies of the immense mass of the educated Chinese m Pekin are with the revolutionaries,' and that' there is - little syirijilttftvy 'for the corrupt' and effete Manchu * dynasty. The outlook for the Throne is ominous. ' " V ' (Received' October 16, 8.5 a.m.) NEW YORK, October 15. A manifesto ' issued Mf the Chinese leader Dr Sunyatsen, appealing to all friendly nations to -* observe neutrality during the revolution m China, promises the full observance of aIF treaties with foreign powers. He declares that the object of the revolution is to overthrow the corrupt Manchu regime. It is believed that Dr Sunyatsen is about to depart for China, although a price" is set on his head.
