Canton, May 15.
The recent unfriendly exchange of telegrams between General Lu Yung-ting of Kuangsi and General Chen Chiung-ming, Civil Governor of Kuangtung, has strengthened the general opinion here that matters have gone too far for the Kuangsi and Kuangtung armies now facing each other to be withdrawn, and that the military preparations now practically completed on both sides must soon precipitate a serious conflict.
The local press reports that Kuangsi recently secured a Joan of 800,000; it is not stated where from.—Reuter.
