PAKKAL, KONGMOON, June 22. It appears as if my report made some time ago that General Chan Kwing-ming was organising an offensive against the pro-Sun garrisons in the Southem Peninsula is to be borne out.
"Chu. Tung-hoi, erstwhile pirate i leader, who surrendered to thei
government" about two years ago, and is now loyal to Chan, is crossing over from Yeung Chun with about 2,000 rifles. So Tings. yau is leading a similar number from Lui Chow, and Chan Cheung- po, whose men are also stated to number 2,000, is marching on Yeungkeng from Low Lung.
At Yanping and Sunning, the situation. is becoming serious. Leung She-fung is proceeding from Sanwui city to Yanping with reinforcements. Other troops to counter the projected offensive are " moving up to Sanwui city under | Li Ting-tak,
Other military movements are the return to Canton of troops under Leung Yeuk-kuk from Sanwuf and those under Hu Chai from Shekki. They are said to be rallying to General Hsu Shung- chi's banner.
