Peking, Aug. 9.
Foreign telegrams from Canton state that General Chen Chiung-ming's forces on August 5 captured General Hsu Chung-chih's main base at Namyung. The defeated troops have retreated to Chinan, across the Kiangsi border. On the following day another force commanded by one of General Chen's leaders attacked Lochang where they defeated General Chen Chia-yn's force which recently came to the assistance of General Hsu Chung-chih from Hunan. The attack was completely successful and the defeated troops were driven back to Hunan. The velegrams add that these actions will probably mark the end of important engagements in the near future—Reuter.
