Changsha, Oct. 2., Gen. Chao Hong-ti is still in the city with Brigadier-Generals Yeh and Ho. Gen. Sun Ho-keng, having left his division, has been removed and Brigadier-General Ho raised to Divisional General of the Ist division. His brigade has fallen to Col. Tseng Hunghai, who had command of the 28th regiment.
The adverse forces are still lined up on alternate sides of the river as they have been for the past 12 days. They pot at each other, apparently without casualties on either side, and with amazingly few casualties in the city. The Chao side fire from the island which runs the length of Changsha; and of course, the Tan forees which are: within shouting distance on the west bank, reply—to the discomfort of all who Tive on the island, Chinese and foreign. The people on the west have been cut off from the city all this fortnight and were running short of salt and various other necessaries of which they had not laid in a stock to stand a siege. They were allowed just one hour the other afternoon to get over and back.
Goa. Chai Chu-yn himself is at Nansiang, half way between Changsha and Yiyang, a long day's overland march to the capital.
