Shanghai, June 4.

There are sensational reports here from Canton, brought by the Japanese Domei news agency, that Kwangtung troops have marched across the Hunan frontier.

Domei says an official Kwangsi communique an- nounces the occupation of the walled town of Yung- chowfu, in Hunan, without opposition. The Hunanese troops had previously withdrawn from the position held there.

Meanwhile, Kwangtung military headquarters has issued a communique stating that Ichang, on the Hunan side of the inter-provincial border, has been occupied.

Hengchow appears to be the present objective of these two southern forces, which are believed to be con- verging there.-Reuter.

Up to the time of going to press, Router's representa- tive in Canton had been unable to obtain either confirma- tion or denial of this statement..
