CHINA'S CIVIL WAR.
TURN OF THE TIDE.
NORTHERNERS NOW ADVANCING. AGAINST "CHRISTIAN GENERAL." CBy Telegraph.—Press Assn-—Copyrlfffoi.) . (Sydney Sun Cable.) (Received May 26, 11.40 a.m.) SHANGHAI, May 25. Fighting on the Peking-Hankow railway has assumed serious proportions. During a four-days' engagement the Northerners encountered the first Nationalist army, and are winning ground at every encounter. They are now nearing Cheng-ting. Manchurian cavalry Is now passing through Tientsin for the purpose of dealing with raiders on the centre line between the two railways, while the reorganised Shantung armies are moving southwards from Tsang-chow through empty territories lately abandoned by the Southerners. The general impression of the situation seems to be that the Northerners are concentrating for a swift campaign against the '"Christian General" Feng Yuhsiang, in the hope of accomplishing his complete elimination. Japanese Troops Arrive. Eight hundred Japanese troops, the vanguard of the Nagoya division, have arrived at Tientsin. Three thousand more are due to arrive to-morrow.
