Nobody in a Position to Attack [Anybody Else Peking July 29.
Reports from Canton state that there has not been anything in the nature of a big battle between the forces of General Chen Chiung-ming and General Hsu Chung-shih. The latter has abandoned his intention of attacking the former's base at Yintak. It is reported that General Chen Chiung-ming is still at his native town, Waichow, and is directing operations from. there.
There is no truth in the report that there has been friction between General Chen Chiung-ming and General Yeh Chu. General Chen Chiung-ming is confident of the issue of the field operations, but he is anxious to be rid of the menace of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's fleet, attempts to win over the bluejackets of which have failed.
General Chen Chiung-ming is not in favour of sinking the fleet, which General Yeh Chu threatened to do. When this problem has been settle ed, General Chen Chiung-ming will! take personal command of the field! against General Hsu Chung-shih.—Reuter.
