THE HANKOW NEGOTIATIONS.
A TEMPORARY BREAKDOWN ONLY?
MR EUGENE CHEN'S STATEMENT.
BRITISH OFFERS STILL HOLD GOOD.
A British Wireless Message states that the reports that, nego- tiations between Mr. O'Malley and Mr. Eugene Chen have been broken off is incorrect. Mr. Chen raised the question of the despatch of British troops to Shanghai and as a result the signing of a draft agreement relating to the future atatus of the British Concessions #as postponed.
The tone of the Nationalist Foreign Secretary's statement hardly gives much hape of a successful_resumption of the negotiations, but the latest message from England, published below emphasises that the British offers to China with regard to treaty revision still hold good.
Meanwhile reports are to hand of a beginning of a drive towards Shanghai by the Southern Army in the hope of captur- ing the city before the arrival of the British Forces.
The first Cruiser Squadron and the Megantic with two bat- "talions aboard are reported as having left Singapore yesterday.
