The British river gunboat, Cicala (625 tons), has proceeded to Kongmoon, leaving only H.M.S. Moth and Tarantula in Canton.
These two vessels (625-ton river gunboats) are stationed a mile downriver at Pakhinghok, where they are guarding British properties, including those of Watson & Company, Ltd. and the oil companies.
A message from the river gunboat Robin (226 tons) stated that Wuchow had again been heavily bombed on Saturday, and that the evacuation of Chinese women and children was proceeding apace.
The Japanese naval command is expected to arrive in Canton shortly. At present only the Tsubame and Nasami, netlayers, and some smaller craft are here.—Reuter.
