Peking, July 10.
The trouble in Szechuan between Generals Liu Hsiang and Hsiong Keh-wu is reported to be rapidly culminating in an attack by the latter on Chungking, preparatory to which General Hsiong's main body was transferred on July 5 from Suitingfu to Hochow.
General Liu Hsiang, in order to defend himself, has ordered an attack on Hochow by the garrison of Fowchow.
It is also reported that Gen. Hsih Ching-yang is advancing from Hupeh on Wanhsien with 3,000 irregulars, who are reported to have engaged a body of Gen. Liu Hsiang's troops in a fight, the result of which is not yet known. Gen. Hsiong Keh-wu is apparently delaying action until he learns the issue of this engagement.—Reuter.
Peking, July 12.
General Liu Hsiang's and General Hsiung Keh-wu's forces met and fought on July 8 at four points, Hochow, Chungchow, Wanhsien and Tienkianghsien. The results are not known. Chungking is quiet.—Reuter.
