From Our Own Carṛespandent.]|

Yunnanfu, Feb. 18,

On Feb. 10, a telegram was TC- ceived here that General Fan- [Sbek-sang had arrived at Wang- ta. just below Mengtze, with 8,000 men, but this is discredited lowing to the fact that it seems impossible for him to arrive at the railway (which enters Yunnan from French territory) with 8,000 men unknown to anybody, espe- cially as there are persons here, who came up the line on that date, who had heard nothing of such an event.

非

Also, the country to be travers- ed before reaching Wangta is very difficult country and it would be almost impossible for General: Fan to move, such a number of men without it being known.

Later..

The rumour about Fan Shek- eang boing on the railway seems to have been only a "rumour" and nothing has been heard of it since.
