Peking, July 25.

Through the intermediation of General Wang i-ching, the remnants of the Ninth Division, which were at Nanyuan yesterday, were disarmed and sent to Pei-yuan. Those who saw these troops en route estimated that they did not exceed 1,200, all the others having been captured or having deserted.

To-day a strong force of Fengtien troops advanced upon Pei yuan vid the Peking-Kalgan Rail-Way to disarm those of the First Division who returned there from thie Western Front.
