A glimpse of the war Clouds over Kwong Tung and Fukien. Chéung Ngai's desire to recover Chiu On by military force. News re resistance made by the Revolutionary Army against Cheung

attitude of the Authorities of Chiu Chau and Srator towards the Ohiu On fighting.

Army marched into Fukien in pursuit of Chan, took Chiu On

Division Commander of the Revolutionary Army, to fortify Chiu On and to make every preparation for the invasion of Fukien so as to strengthen the rear of the Northern Expedi-

tion.
