LONDON, June 24. Flood waters from the Yellow River have entered the Sha, a tributary of the Hwai River, running west to east between the Yantze and the Lunghai railway. The Hong Kong correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" says that Japanese warships are concentrating at Hoihow, causing apprehension of an invasion of the island of Hainan. The French authorities are watching the situation closely and ten French warships are standing by. Other reports state that a minor attempt at a landing in Hainan was repulsed.
