The' Customs is accordingly holding up papers, allowing only three ships to clear. The reason for this astonishing more is at present not clear, but it is believed it presages an outbreak of hostilities against Henslii-shan, leader of the rebellious ''lronsides," who was defeated by Marshal Chiang-Kai-shek's armies last year.
