Peking, Dec. 17.
(5) A telegram from Chiangebi Lung Ohi-kuang, directing the military affairs of Kuangtung, reports the capture of Pu Tse-tsin, Li Chang-han, and others of the rebel party, Pu Tse-tsin has admitted that he was appointed by Sun Wen to be Rebel Commander of the Dare-to-Die Corps and to establish bomb manufacturing places in Kuangtung; and that he had successively thrown bombs in the Chengnan Street, at Shuangshutung, and at the restaurant on the Embankment of Canton, killing and wounding many men and women. Li Chang-han has confessed that he was appointed by Teng K'eng as Commander of the Bomb-Throwing Corps, that he obtained funds at Hongkong, whence he proceeded in secret to the interior to gather the adherents who were hiding in var-long mercantile houses, and that explosives were packed in wine vessels preparatory to effecting a simultaneous rising at all places. Other prisoners are reported to have made corroborative statements, and he (the Chiangchiin) has already inflicted upon them punishment in accordance with the law, ete.
'A large number of the rebel party, who proceeded in secret to the said province and who had thrown bombs, have been captured successively by direction of the Ohiangebiin. The prisoners included the bomb-manufacturer. Quantities of dangerous articles were discovered, and the whole of that rebel body has been suppressed. The rebels have confessed that they were commissioned by Sun Wen and Teng K'eng to per petrate such atrocious and horrible not only killing and injuring innocent people, but also causing these foolish tools to fall victims of the law. How can we sufficiently express our sorrow and regret? Let the said Chiangchiin and Governor exhort their troops and police to relax no pair of their vigilance in precautionary measures and to afford no possible asylum to rebels who may thereby abide their time and rise and disturb our peace again at the first first opportunity.
