Nanking, Oct. 20.
Everything is quiet at Nanking. The reports of trouble here have no foundation.—Ovr Arn Corres-
A telegram sent by wireless from Hankow to Kiokiang and retransmitted thence by wireless to Shanghai, at 2 p.m. yesterday, was received by the British Consulate General. It stated that the Imperialists had cleared out of Ten Kilometre station and retired to Seven Mile Oreok farther up the line. The Imperialist gunboats had withdrawn down river im the direction of Kiokiang.
A suggestion for this conduct on the part of Admiral Ssb is supplied by an authoritative letter dated Hankow, October 17, in which it was stated that inmost had gone over to the! rebels and that Admiral Sab was not sure of the fleet. Farther reference to this question will be found below.—Ep,
