Efforts by the "Telegraph" to officially confirm these rumours have met with no success.
However, a "Telegraph"

The purpose of the visit to Hong- Rong, state the rumours, is in con- nretion with peace negotiations.
The name of the British Ambassu- dor, Sir Archibald Kerr-Clarke-Kerr,, has been freely inentioned as media itor.
This part of the rumours, how! ever, has been definitely quaehrd firstly, by an official statement by the Ambassador to the "Telegraph" any that he is not participating mediatory task and that he has seen neither Mr. Wang Chung-hui nor Mr. Wang Ching-wel and. secondly, by the departure for
