But later despatches from Peking in dicate that the situation of Hupeh is entirely in the hands of the Chibli faction and it is feared thut the extension of the influence of Marshal Taso Kun and General Wu Pei-fa to central Yangtze may further complicate the relations of the Chibli and the Fengtien factions unless the former agree to the appoint- ment of General Chang Hsun or another leader of the latter faction to the post of High Lospecting Commissioner for Kiangsu, Kiaugsi and Anhui for Lower Yangtze. There are thus still more in teresting developments to be expected in the future.
PROGRESS OF THE HUNAN TROOPS.
CHANGSHA, August 1the Owing to popular approval and sup- port, the Hunan troops have been mak ing rapid progress on the Yochow and Kungun fronts. But this is believed to be chiefly due to the non-activity of the Chilli reinforcements. In an interview. with press representatives this morning, General Chao predicted an early ter mination of the struggle because he says Wong Chan-yuan must go in favour of Hsiao Yao-nan in the near future. But. General Chao did not say how he knows that General Hsiao of the Wa Pei-fu faction will become Tuchun of Hupeh This shows most clearly that Chand Wu have a secret agreement. The ques tion is will the Hupeh people be satis, fed with this or will they continue the _fight?___

The general behaviour of the workers yesterday, however, showed that they were carrying out officially forbidden demonstrations on the plea that they were visiting the shrines. The Governor thinks that in view of yesterday's happenings it will be necessary for the authorities either to prohibit such pilgrimages, only permitting worshipping by a limited num. ber of workers representatives, or absolutely to prohibit their taking a route other than that which is necessary for paying such visits,
Mr. Kagawa lays the whole blame at the doors of the police who, he says, pre cipitated the crisis by attacking the workers with drawn swords, "SITUATION DESPERATE: GOVERNOR MEDIATING.
