TROUBLE IN EAST.
FIGHTING COMMENCES. REBEL TROOPS DEFEATED. SHANGHAI, Sept. 27. Fighting occurred yesterday twentyfive miles from Pekin, when General Fang Chen Wu’s cavalry sought to enter Kaoliying. They encountered Government troops and were defeated. Newspapers report that the Japanese actually commenced bombing before the expiry of their ultimatum, inflicting severe casualties on General Fang Chen Wu’s troops. To-day the demilitarised zone was reported ominously quiet. It is believed that General Fang Chen Wu’s troops will he allowed to march toward the armistice line, where they will he disarmed by Government troops and a small payment made for each rifle.
General Fang Chen Wu’s revolt is definitely anti-Government and not antiJapanese.
