Up to the present there, is no confirmation of the Japanese re- ports that Wu Pel-fu has been wounded or that his troops have been defeated or demoralised. On the contrary a wire from Hankow on the evening of August 30 states that the attacks of the southerners on August 29 were successfully repulsed.

The Canton Information Bureau issues the following through Reuter:-
