THE CHINESE REPUBLIC.
RESTORATION OF ORDER. DIFFICULTIES IN SHANTUNG. By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. NANKING, April 15. Ynan-Shi-Kai has entrusted to Huang-Sing the restoration of order and the control of civil and military affairs. The President’s action is interpreted to mean that ho does not desire to risk a rapture with the South. It is also regarded as a tacit acknowledgment that the Southern authorities are not prepared to dissolve tho military organisation. Throe hundred were killed in the mutiny. Martial law lias been established. Several Ministers refused portfolios. The Revolutionary members of Hie Government are reluctant to proceed to Pekin. Chang-San, the ex-imperialist commander in Shantung, has recruited 14,000 men, and refuses to deliver up a million dollars’ worth of British rolling stock unless guaranteed that the railway will not bo used for tho transport of Republican, troops.
