TURMOIL IN CHINA.
ACTIVITIES OF CANTONESE. RIVAL GOVERNMENT THREAT. SHANGHAI. May 1. On the eve of the lirst People's Convention, called for May 5 at Nanking, serious political disturbances are likely to throw the country into turmoil as a result of the threat of the Cantonese to establish an independent Government in Southern China. The breach between the Nanking and Ivwantung cliques is widening, following upon a hostile gesture denouncing the Chiang Kai-shek regime. The Government is visibly embarrassed since its announcement to foreign Powers that a unified China would assume jurisdiction over all foreigners after tho People's Convention, which undertaking may now prove to be impracticable. TRAVELLERS' PASSPORTS. STRICTER REGULATIONS. SHANGHAI. May 2. Persons travelling to China in future must have their passports properly vised, as the new passport regulations, enforced to day, necessitate a full examination of all foreigners entering tho country.
