The report was circulated in, the Colony yesterday that Marshal Li Tsai Hain and General Chen Ming Shu were travelling to Hong Kong by the day boat from Canton in order to leave by the P. & 0. Mantua for Shanghai to-day.
When the distinguished visitors did not arrive by steamer it was rumoured that they were coming down by train. This rumour, niso proved untrue.

Marshat Li is urgently needed in Canton His presence there. and the prospect that, under his wice guidance, an efficient and etable administration will be maintained has already led to a return af confidence. This con.. fidence will be seriously shaken if · under any pretext or promise he leaves again for the North.
"As we have repeatedly urged, the one chance of rehabilitation that Cantan possesses lice in iti ability to seep itse free from any entanglement with the mili tary operations between Nanking and Peking.
Canton has already very wisely withdrawn from the conflict, and it should rendain aloof. If it does so there! is every chance of substantial trade development, sad future prosperity seems assured. If it entere once more into the arena, or even handicaps itself by any form of alliance with the Nation alist Armies on the Yangtaze is will be running a great risk for no purpose. Marshal Li has won in an unparalleled mea sure the confidence and trust of his own people and of "toreigners.
