Majesty's Consuls General at hanghai and Nanking (see
enclosures Nos. 2 and 3) and also of the joint Note

Intermittent hostilities contime in the South
and West, and have now also broken out in Funan. In
Kuangt ung Sun Yat-sen has not yet succeeded in quetling
the resistance of Ch'en Chiung-ming and his forces. In
Pukien Amoy has been thrown into confusion by an attempt
on the part of a portion of the flet to recover that
centre in Northern interests, an incident which forms the

war between the provincial Kuo Min Tang party and the
omposing faction supported by the 'ei-fu ebbs and flows,
As reported in my despatch No. 451 of the 15th instant the
Treaty port of Chungking was for a time besieged by Kuei-
chow forces who suddenly changed Bides and attacked the
troops of Yang Sen, Tu P'ei-fu's nominee. They wore even-
tually driven off and the war now contimes intermittently
along the land and river routes between Chungking and
Cheggtu.
