The Victorious CanToNese

Nov. 1.

More than 8,000 Cantonese soldiers have entered Canton including the Aviation Corps, and have disarmed the Kuangsi troops. More than 200 Kuangsi troops have been killed and wounded during the past two days in different parts of the city when some of them opposed the approach of the Cantonese troops.

General Chen Chiung-ming is offering $30,000 for the capture of General Ma Chi.

General Sun Pao-fan refused to allow his men to be reorganized or disarmed owing to the unfavourable terms offered him, and forse is being used to oust his men from White Cloud Mountain. The result of the fighting is not yet known.

The members of the Southern Parliament in Canton are pushing forward a scheme for re-establishing the Mil'tary Government with the object of making war against the Kuangsi and also the Northern militarists. They favour the appointment of Hu Han-min, the ex-Governor-General of Kuangtung, to the Civil-Governorship, and the abolishing of the Tuchun system.—Reuter.
