TROUBLE AT SWATOW.
JAPAN SENDING A DESTROYER.
Events in the Yangtse Valley appear to be moving towards a decisive conflict. There are indications that the Northerners are about to commence an active offensive against the Southerners, with
naval and military forces co-operating.
General Yang Sen, of the Wanhsien incident, whose allegiance has more than once been doubtful, and General San Tso-yin, who turned over the South last autumn, have now joined General Wu Poi-fu for the purpose of advancing against the Hankow Reds.
Although a British naval wireless message relays reports that the Reds advancing against Swatow have been dispersed, a Reuter enble from Tokyo states that a Japanese destroyer is going to Swatow owing to disturbances there.
