At a late hour last night rumours were current in town that the rebel cruisers Hai Chi and Hat Shen' were told to leave Hong Kong waters within twenty four hours by the British authorities.

"Enquiries made on board the Ning Hai ellcited the fact that if any such warning was given they would have been communicated with by the authorities. They denied that such had been the case and stated that the relations exist- ing between them (te, the rebels and Ning Hat) were anything bet ter than the last few days. "..

Earlier Information

The latest information obtained regarding the Chinese naval tangle yesterday was to the effect that. Lt.-Comdr. Wu Chi Foo of the cruiser Hai Shen called on board the Ning Hai and harl ́ a long con- versation, with the authorities on board.

It is stated that a better under- standing had been arrived at' re- garding the present situation and hope is being held out that there.. is every prospect of an early and amicable settlement of the whole affair,

The position as vouchsafed to us by an authority is that it is better than the previous two days and cordial relations have once again

The origin of this sudden- un- animity of British opinion is not faz to seek. What was previously obscure has been made abundantly plain by the recent behaviour, of Germany. The people of this country have been more profound- ly shocked than Herr Hitler as yet appears to realise by the "series of challenges which his Government had thought it to throw out to

No Government Changes

Persistent rumours that Chair- man Lam Wan Koy, Mayor Liu Chi Wen and other high civilian offi-

clais will resign are incorrect. At the meeting of the South-west Political Council on Tuesday, no resignation was considered. Local leaders are apparently united in arousing the masses to external dangers confronting the country.
