Peking, June 15.
General Chang Ching-yao is on his way to Peking.
General Wang Chang-yuan has requested the Government to cancel his appointment as Commander-in-Chief of the troops in Hunan. The Government, has refused, pointing out that it is his duty to accept the responsibility in view of the serious issues involved.
General Wang Chang-yuan belongs' to the Chihli Party, which supports the President, while General Wu Kuang-hsin is a follower of Marshal Tuan Chi-jui, though ho is not an active member of tie Anfu Party, hence the appointment of the latter as Inspecting Commissioner in Hunan appears to be likely to sow seeds of discord. As a follower of Marshal Tuan Chi-jui General Wu is intended as a check on General Wang Chang-yuan and it is doubtful how the forces of the two will mix.
The Government has sent two aeroplanes from Nanyuan to Hunan for service.—Reuter.
