Precautionary Measures But no Indication of Hostilities Peking, Apr. 11.
General Chang Tso-lin is moving troops towards Chihli. Six thousand Fentien troops have arrived at Chunliangcheng.
General Chang apparently intends to. distribute some 30,000 troops along the Peking-Mukden Railway,, inside Shanhaikuan, as a protection to the Central Government, but there is no indication of hostilities, which both General Chang Tso-lin and General Wu Pei-fu assert they do not want unless as a protective measure.
The transportation of the Fengtien troops is scarcely interfering with the working of the railway, as General Chang Tso-lin is cooperating as far as possible with the railways, which are reciprocating.—Reuter.
Tientsin, April 12.
Up to the present about three of General Chang Tso-lin's brigades have entered Chihli, of which one brigade is near Machang on the Tsinpu Railway. The movements of the troops so far have not disorganized the railways.—Reuter.
