Kuanesr Troops aNp Gueritia Canton, July 26.
The two Kuangs campaign has taken a turn less favourable to the Cantonese. The latter admit that they are meeting with considerable difficulty in dealing with the Kuangsi forces, which are offering a stout resistance at various points, maintaining in effect a form of guerilla warfare. The alleged "capture" by the Cantonese of a series of Kuangsi towns palpably rests on an insecure basis, as the Cantonese themselves concede.—Reuter.
