die dajesty's Charge d'Affaires at Peking telegraphs
as followG: I have received a private message from
Yuan that Central Authorities have given orders for
tue Chinese war vessels in Kwangtung waters to leave
the district over wiich the revolutionaries have away.
It is reported that the three which have already done so
ere now in Hongtong waters and that the other six will
continue their allegiance to Yuan and will follow.
Yuan requests permission for these loyal men of war to
remain in dongsong waters.
No objection to these vessels staying here and I
propose to enswer to this effect. The following vossole
have arrived horo to date: 1 gumboat and 2 Salt Rexenue
cruisers. Tho Canton Government has desired pornit to
tow the former to Canton, but I answered that permission
would only be given if the vessel's captain offered no
objection. Hostilities have been suspended in Kwang tung
osing to torrential rains. It is reported that the
Governor General, Chan Kwing Ning, has fled.
