INVESTIGATION BY SPECIAL DELEGATE ORDERED

[From A Special Correspondent)

Canton, To-day. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek is devoting great attention to the death of the Japanese drug- gist, Mr. Jyunza- Nakano, at Pakhoi and Mr. Philip K. C. Tyan, the Special Delegate on For- eign Affairs for the two Kwangs, has been order- ed by the Generalissimo to investigate the mat- ter. It is learned that Mr. Tyan has sent Mr. Ling Sze-fan to Pakhoi for this purpose.

At the same time, the Generalissimo has ordered General Tsai Ting-kai to withdraw the 19th Route Army from Pakhoi before the 15th inst.

Because of this trouble the Generalissimo will delay his de parture for Nanking, though Mr. Shigeru Kawago is waiting for him there to discuss the Sino-Japanese negotiations.

A telegram signed by Generals Li Chung-jen and Per Chung-hsi reached here on Wednesday, containing their thanks! to the Nanking peace delegates for settling the Nanking-Kwangsi- disputes. General Chu Pei-teh, the Generalissimo's chief dele- gate at the Nanning Peace Conference, is leaving Hong Kong for Nanking to-day by the ss. President Jackson,

London: The lengthy lull in the operation on the San Sebastian front has occasioned speculations that negotiations for the surrender of the town are proceeding. The Civil Governor, Senor Ortega, in a statement, indicated that negotiations were taking place, but denied that there had been any split in the Popular Front ranks.
