The province of Kuangsi is at last promised some sort of a novation at the hands of Kuangsi troops according to a representative of General Sun Hung-yin who was recently in Loyang and has now set out on the long journey back to Kueilin.
As the result of the Cantonese invasion of Kuangsi and the subsequent abandonment of the province by Sun Yat-sen's forces, there are now 20 leaders in the province calling themselves "Ch'uan Sheng Tsung Ssu-ling''—provincial' commanders-in-chief. This in itself suggests an: amazing picture of aimless rivalry and complete disorder. Sun Hung-yin is now in Southern Kiangsi, where he wrought some havoc among Chen Kuang-yuan's troops some months ago, with 20.000 Kuangsi mount-ameers organized into four mixed brigades. These he now proposes to lead back into Kuangsi to suppress those of the "provincial commanders-in-chief? whom his diplomatic agents, now gone before, cannot induce to abandon their pre-tentions. Those northern officers who have been in the South and have seen these Kuangsi mountaineers say that they are a splendid fighting force and that the troops under Sun's command are sufficient to put an end to the present promiscuous squabbling.
