Kanchow, April 11.
A new Brigadier arrived lately to take charge of the famous 9th Brigade, he a brother of our Tuchun, and there was a great day receiving him. He is not unknown in this district as he was in charge of another Brigade last year Sinfeng. This 9th Brigade is the one which made itself so infamous during the fighting on the Kuangtung border and which so successfully looted Nanhsiong. It was then in charge of the very infamous Ding, who to save face retired some time ago. All these Brigades, ete., seem to take their cue from the leaders as since his departure, while they have been under the leadership of the General in charge, they have proved themselves gentlemen indeed. It remains to be seen what lead the present brigadier will give them.
