Canton, November 18. There is no civil war in Kwei- chow and all rumours to the con- trary are ill-founded. Mr. Chang Wen-lang declared, to the Chin- ege press. He said the rebel leaders, such as Yu Kuo-chal and Chiang Cho-chen, were not in a position to be a menace to the peace of Kweichow, because they have only small and ragged for- ces.
