YUNNANS' STORY.

According to a report submitted by the Yunnan headpuarters to Sun Yat-sen, the ency ie, the Kwangsi troops, attacked the head- quarters from three directions, viz, the Goddess of Mercy Mountains, Sha Ho and at'a tangent from the direction of the Kowloon--Canton Railway Station. The attackers consisted of three brigades (pro- bably two to three thousand bayonets.) It claims that a platoon of Kwangsi bodyguards was en- veloped in the vicinity of Wong Fa Kong, that the impulse of the attack has been checked and, was confident of routing the Kwangs ites by Tuesday night..
