former Governor-General T'sen Ch'un-hauan, but that ex-official, who arrived on July 29th, with the express object of winning over Kuanghai to the rebels, failed after alternate flattery and threats to produce the slightest impression on Lun Chi-kuang, who moved dow river from Wuchow on the 31st., issuing in advance proclama - -tions which offered a reward of $60,000 for the assassination of

Ch'en.

During the fortnight succeeding his declara-

In the absence of the commander of the 1st.. Division, who had disappeared, the General Officer Commanding the 2nd. Division, Su Chen Chu, interviewed the leading members of the Chamber of Commerce and reported that the city was in the hands of the Lu Chun and that Ch'en Chiung-ming had fled. The Chamber at once informed him that he must act as Tu Tu pending instructions frq
