Flight of Gen. Chang Huei: The Recapture of Luchow and Advance on Chengtu Prom Our Own Correspondent, Wanhsien, July 11.
With the recapture of Ohungchow and the flight of Gen. Chang Huei and hig following into the hills, the rear attack upon the invading forces of Wu Pei-fu has fizzled out and the northern troops are again moving forward in their occupation of the extreme Upper River and their drive upon Chengtu.
The retaking of Chungchow (45 up the Yangtze from here), from which Gen. Chang launched his attack upon the northerners' rear ling, culminating in the siege of Wanhsien; is regarded as putting the finishing touch upon the insurgent pes. Forced to abandon the city, the General and his entire band have disappeared into the interior north of the river and there is little possibility of their making a successful rally. It is thought: likely that Gen. Chang will make for Chengtu overland and ally himself with General Hsiong Keh-we, of the First Szechuanese Army. Failing in that, he will no doubt establish himself as a local dictator in the country to the north-west of Wanhsien, territory which has not yet been penetrated by northern forces and which is certain to give him protection for a considerable time.
Northern troops are also reported to have recaptured Luchow and again ta be advancing from _that point upon Chengtu. Gen. Yang Sen, whose death has several times been rumoured, ig now said to be at the head of his army. He is also reported to be "negoti lating" for the control of Suifu, whose commander has up to the present remained neutral as between the First Army and the northern forces.
