Canton, Aug. 16.
Preparations are in prog-ess to move troops to Fukien to oust Tuchun Li Hao-chi. The military authorities are keeping the details secret. Japanese Agency reports on the subject are more or less unfounded.
The authorities have prohibited publication of any matter relating to the expedition against Fukien. They do not deny however that such a plan is contemplated.
Bandits are unusually active in the interior: it is reported that certain political interests are fostering the condition of lawlessness.—Reuter.
