THE REVOLT IN CHINA.

PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT. SERIOUS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE LEADERS. ROYALIST OFFICERS OBJECT TO ABDICATION. FOREIGNERS GREATLY ALARMED. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright Received 22, 9.35 p.m. Pekin, January 22. Dr. SuniYat-Sen has telegraphed that Yuan-Shih-Kai is opposing the creation of a provisional Government or the inclusion of Yuan-Shih-Kai in a Republican Government, until the Powers have recognised the latter. Dr. Sun-Yat-Sen desires the Throne, when it abdicates, to transfer its authority to the Republican Government. Tiehling, late Tartar General, is at Nanking, intriguing with the Manclius for Yuan-Shih-Kai's downfall. Yuan-Shih-Kai is preparing for flight. The younger Manchu princes are urged to take drastic action against the revolutionaries. Yuan-Shih-Kai regards the Manchu cause as-lost, but thinks in view of the revolutionaries' objection to a provisional government at Pekin, it is advisable to establish a Government provisionally at Tientsin after the abdication. Thirty high officers of the Guards refuse to endorse the abdication policy, and threaten to unloose troops in the event of abdication. Foreigners are greatly alarmed, Americans taking refuge in the legation quarter - Rumors are current accusing the princes of conniving in the recent attempt on the life of Yuan-Shih-Kai. The Republicans have landed at several points on the Shantung coast. OPPOSING THE MONGOLIANS. RUSSIA STOPS CHINESE TROOPS. Received 22, 11.30 p.m. St. Petersburg, January 22.
