TO KWANGTUNG." The following paragraph. dated July Matriculation and Senior Local Examina- The following are the results of the sth, comes from the Asiatic News Agencytions, June 184: -: of Peking"
Marshal Wu Pei-fu has retransmitted a messige from General Ma Chi, com-] mander of the northern troops for the relief of Kweilin, to the Government on the gueresses of his forces. According to the reports of Genem) Ma Chi, the troops of General Shen Hung-yin, who is fight- ing for Dr. Sun Yat-sen for the possession of Kwangsi, have been badly defeated and routed by the Government troops and that General Lu Aung-ting is safe at Kweils at the moment. The Southern troops are retreating towards Luchow, aud, consequently, Ma Chi is confident that Kwangsi will be restored to the fold of Peking shortly. It is reported that the rapil success of the Northern troops in Kwangai was thiefly due to the co-opera- tion of the Hunan troops despatched theres by General Chao Hen-ti of Changsha, so that Hunan van now be regarded as nue of the Northern Provinces, though Chao is still mäntaining his so-called autonomous Government at Changsha, Peking oflicial circles, believe that the sudden change of the military and polls tical situation in Kwangsi in Peking's favour will materially weaken the posi tion of Dr. Sun Yat-sen in Kwangtung and therefore, the Loyang War Lord is said to be seriously tackling the question of a Northern" combined expedition to Kwangtung e Kiangsi, Hunan, Fukien and Kwangsi.as soon as possible. The success of General Ma Chi in Kaungsi has further encouraged the policy of Marshal Wu, that is to say to bring about political reunification in China by means of armed forces instead of through usê- less domestic peace conferences "as. ex- perienced, in the past!
[We have already published the "news that the garrison at Kweilin, after being closely besieged for many weeks, was relieved on July 28th. but the information contained in the contribution frou Dr. Lechmere. Clift which we published yės- terday that Nanaing, the modern capital of Kwangsi. has been captured" by Dr. Sun's fortes, indicates that the military and political situation in Kwangsi is not yet so greatly in Peking's favour, as the foregoing paragraph suggests.~ED.]·
