GENERAL NEWS.

HANKOW, CHINA—The revolutionists are in undisputed possession ol Wu-Chang, a city of 600,000 inhabitants, capita of the provinc eof Hupeh. The capture of the city was the culmination of a series of sudden developments during the last twenty-four hours, all of which came about as the result of the tremendous feeling created by the execution of fdur rebels in front of the viceroy’s yamen. Among the foreigners known to have been in Wu-Chang are twenty-five American missionaries. Communication with the city is almost completely cut off and no word as to the fate of the Americans has been received.

PEKIN, CHINA—The American Methodist missionaries at Chengtu, the recently besieged capital of Szechuen province, telegraphed that they estimate 10,000 people were killed in the fighting between the insurgents and the government troops. Of the dead 2,000 were soldiers; others rebels Ten thousand rebels are in possession of several cities southwest ol Chengtu. Soldiers are marching out against them. The Methodists say that as a result of the rising thousands of natives are homeless and many, becoming desperate, commute« suicide.

MU NCI E, IND.—Because it is said the men who have been financing the remonstrance fight for the “drvs" Lave refused to put up any more money, the attorney for the remonstrators announced that the appeal ii the second ward remonstrance case would in all probability be abandoned and that the “dryß” would abide by the decision of Judge Charles Bagel

NEW YORK—Christopher Columbus, who discovered this country some. 419 years ago, is apparently not of revered memory—at least in New York.
