Sympathy in Hanfow runs so strongly with the opponents of General Wang that reports from there may be biassed, but they are interesting as showing one side of the case, Reports reaching the Government, however, are of quite a different character. In a telegram dated August 2, General Wang claims to have defeated the Hunanese in an attack they launched at Yangloshih. He states that 4,000 Hunanese were killed in this engagement, while the Hupeh casualties were only 200 killed and 500 wounded. General Wang concludes optimistically by saying that General Chin Yun-hsiao's brigade is now marching to the frane and General Hsiao Yao-nan's division has crossed the river.—Reuter.
