Peking, Apr. 28.
General Wu Pei-fu has telegraphed to the Legations recounting the alleged iniquities of General Chang Tsolin and adding that these scandals must be removed. He then exhorts the Legations not to permit foreign assistance to General Chang Tso-lin such as funds, arms, munitions etc. and not to allow foreign military experts to enter the Fengtien ranks.
woimportant and—unpremeditated clash between the Chihli and Fengtien forces took place near Liulihou yesterday. Several casualties occurred by rifle five. The Fengtien army is astride of, the Hunho, south of Langfang, bit is gradually going westwards, wider the command of General Chang Hsueh-liang, General Chang Tso-lin's son. This indicates that the battle region will be Yungtsing, where the rival forces are 18 miles apart, but General Wu Pei-fu's famous Third Division apparently has not yet left Loyang and none of General Feng Vu-hsiang's men have yet been seen. Otherwise the situation has not changed.
The British, American, French and Japanese commandants at Tientsin met yesterday and discussed measures to protect communications from Peking to the sea.—Reuter.
