MR. GIBSON BOWLESI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether Her Majesty's Government have received any information regarding the rebellion stated to have broken out in the Chinese provinces of Kwang-oi and Kwang-tung; whether he is able to state the causes which have led to that rebellion, the objects thereof as professed by the rebel leaders, and the approximate number of the rebels now in arms; whether the rebels have captured Moning and Tienpak, and are now surrounding Wu-chuen-hsien in Kwangtung; whether there is any reason for apprehension as to Wu-chau; and whether any, and, if so, what, steps have been or will be taken by Her Majesty's Government in consequence of this outbreak?
MR. CURZONWe have heard from Her Majesty's Minister at Pekin that an insurrection has broken out in three districts near Wu-chau, in the province of Kwang-oi, and that some Chinese officials have been killed. We have no further details. The Chinese Government state that the revolt is being quelled.
