It is reported that Sen tho,Govornor General is at present in the city of Kuou-chow-too. and that the rebels have attacked it on all sides. having erected a powerful battery before each of the city gates. so as to be ready to attack the soldiers when- ever tlioy venture to errors out. The Toner troops are afraid to go out and fi.iht,and have been besieged for more than ten days. A most urgent message has been sent by Sun to Woot chou (in Kwangso) for the two thousand troops lately eon- tbere under Hontscanirkwang, to return immediately for the relief of the city.
