GENERAL HWANG USING
Former resident of Media, who is
reported to havo been killed In
China.
GEN. HWANG, INSURGENT
CHIEF, KILLED IN CHINA
Commander of First Army Well
Known Here From Media
Residence
Word was received In Philadelphia today
that General Hwang Using, commander of
China's first army, has been killed. The
news reached Chester In the form of a
cablegram.
General Hwang was well known here on
account of his two years' resldenco at a
beautiful estate on the outskirts of Media.
He came to this country when Yuan Shl-kal
became President of China, and dared not
return. Yuan would have given $100,000 for
the privilege of killing General Hwang.
The General was one of China's deliver
ers from the Manchus. He antedated Dr.
Sun Yat Sen as a revolutionist, and even
when Doctor Sun rose to the ascendancy
In directing- China's revolution. General
Hwang's voice was almost as powerful. He
fell out with Doctor Sun after his cause
triumphed, and also with Yuan, whom he
always said he placed In the Presidency.
Yu&n's displeasure modo him flee for his
life. He came to San Francisco,, then hero.
It will be remembered that when Yuan
was agitating a restoration of China's
monarchical character. General Hwang gave
out a series of Interviews In which he bit
terly attacked the project He was con
sidering then a return to China, but kept
putting It off. Finally Yuan died, and Gen
eral Hwang went back, becoming Immedi
ately active In the counsels of the republic
The general was a delightful man to
meet He couldn't talk English, or at least
would not trust himself In the presence of
strangers, but he enjoyed, giving Interviews
with the Kelp of Interpreters, and of those
there was always a number around. He
would talk on anything, and had unusually
progressive views on everything. He
favored woman suffrage and the progres
sive side of everything that was brought up.
