A foreign firm in Shanghai on Tuesday received the following telegram from Chungking "General Yang Sen captured Chungking on April 6. Situation rapidly improving."
The Jatest news prior to this received in Peking was that General Yang Sen had defeated General Tan Mou-hsin near Liangshanhsien. At the same time it was reported that one of the Szechuan generals who had hitherto been opposed to Yang Sen, namely Hsi Ching-yang, had decided to join him. If so, this would account for the rapidly improving position at Chungking.
