CHINESE CIVIL WAR.

REBEL SUCCESSES. IF JAPAN STEPS IN. Pekin, October A! The National AsscmoJy demands the dismissal and impeachment of CJiai.gshaunhua. The Government has been given until to-morrow to comply. There was a violent scene in the Assembly, and the Szechuancse and •Huakangese members denounced the methods" of railway construction, which are tantamount to taking money from tlio Chinese who had already begun the lines and selling the lines to foreigners.' None of the Ministers were present. Prince Ching’s secretary attempted to read a statement, but was howled down amidst cries of “Decapitate Ohing!” The Legations consider the Assembly’s action is an ultimatum to the Manchus. _ a The Government must either sacrifice the strongest member of the Ministry or declare war on the vast majority of the Chinese. ( it is reported that the rebels outflanked the Imperialists ISO miles north of Hankow, and captured a war chest containing a quarter of a million sterling, leaving the Imperial troops penniless. The rebels are not anxious to occupy many of the sympathising cities until they are able to efficiently administer them. Lanyanhuug, in a letter to Admiral ' Shah, predicts the establishment of a republic, with 'Hankow as the capital. Ho appealed to Shah to join the revolution. New York, October 2G. The “Herald’s” Pekin correspondent states that the rebels threaten to boycott Japanese goods if Japan helps the Manchus. > The rebels claim that Japan is mobilising two divisions, while her fleet is ready if the Manchus appeal.
