Since Saturday large bodies of troops have been coming and going. I cannot pretend to give an idea of what the object of the leaders is. Nobody knows as far as I can inquire. At the present time I am told Liu I-chin and the 2nd division are in the city. The Ist, 3rd and 5th divisions have been and gone. Liu Isen-hou, Lo Shai-chuin and Tien Song-yao have gone on to Tsitong, 40 miles to the north. Men and impedimenta crowd the roads on most sides of the city coming and going continually.
