Canton,
July 24, 1913.
Ch'en Tu Tu last Thursday called officially
on the United States Consul, whence he wash t
to the Jpanese Consulate for luncheon at
which the Japanese Consul, Hongkong, was
also one of the party. His two Japanese
hosts urged him with incessant persistence
to side with Kianghei in the interests
of the Constitution. The result of their
arguments was his declaration of revolt.
Twenty thousand rifles with ammunition
to match had previously been sold by a
Japanese firm to the Local Government.
The above information is absolutely
authentic and has been transmitted by at
least one of my colleagues to Peking: his
Minister, however, gives no credence there to.
