WARFARE IN CHINA
STEMMING RED ADVANCE. HONGKONG REVOLT DENIED (Pres* Association—Bj Telegraph—Copyright.; PEKING, September 23. In a serious attempt to check the Reds General Sun Chuan-fang has commenced a drive alone. The northern reinforcements are being withheld for some inexplicable reason. General Wu Pei-fu is facing a crisis, owing to the revolts of subordinates. The fall of Manchang is confirmed. Red attempts to buy the surrender of Wuchang have been unsuccessful, and the siege continues. The remaining foreigners within the town are unharmed. A message from Hankow states that the vernacular press reports that Labour meetings are openly inciting anti-foreign feeling, and that trade is at a standstill. The rumours of a revolution in Hongkong are entirely unfounded, according to the British authorities at Shanghai, who characterise the report as ridiculous. A revolution in Hongkong is practically impossible; at most it could only be riots, which have not been reported here. —A. and N.Z. Cable.
