Situation in China.
My telegram 12th September I am definitely informed from
two sources (1) Prince Kung (2) General Youngshing formerly
Minister at Vienna who are here separately that as soon as
Wu Pei Fu can obtain the necessary funds he will be prepared
to take action against Canton. The money required is put
by Prince Kung at three million dollars, my other informant
gives a considerably higher estimate.
