Drastic measures adopted by the Japanese troops at Tainanfu yesterday have, it appears, given them complete control of the situation. It is stated that the whole of the Tsingtao-Tsinin Railway is in Japanese control, while the Southerners have been forced to evacuate Tainan.
Details of the fighting at Tsinan are scanty, no report having been received of the casualties suffered.
