Nothing is yet settled with regard to the city, but, it is believed Yuan will accept the irrevocable decision of the generals, not to allow Chinese troops in the city, beyond a body guard of 300 and a police roll of 2,000 and it would not be surprising to find the city handed over two years to the day from the date it was taken.

I very much question the truth of this, as the North is hardly in a condition to admit of Yaan leaving for one thing, and it is highly improbable that he would accept the command of such wretched remmant as the Imperial troops in Kwangsi apparently represent. As matters stand there is a very good chance of the rebels coming to Yuan instead of his going to them in which case Yuan's time might be so taken up with his military duties as to necessitate the appointment of Mang Wen Shap to assist
