Dr. Sun Obstinately Persists:
Canton's Growing Discontent with War's Expense Canton, Sept. 28.
Dr. Sun Yat-sen has ordered the Chinese gunboat Yung Fung to Pakhoi to-assist the land forces operating there.
General Chen Chiung-ming's forces on the East River are still successfully opposing the Coxstitutionalists and Waichow is still holding out. Dr. Sun will continue personally to direct operations until General Chen's stronghold is taken, and will not return to Canton until order is restored in the district.
The strike of restaurant-keepers, firecracker-dealers, and mutton-vendors is continuing as a protest against the special waa taxes. The hotel proprietors and building contractors have not yet complied with the orders to pay the special surtaxes or licence fees, and may refuse to do so unless the Government makes some modification in the regulations.—Reuter.
