Canton, July 15. From all indications it seems pretty certain that the South-west Government is to offer a stubborn challenge to the Nanking order for the abolition of the South-west Political Council. In a momentous con- ference of high Kwangtung and Kwangsi officers held here it was decided that the defence of northern Kwangtung in places between Shiukwan and Yingtak and Chihing will be entrusted to Kwangsi troops,

The powerful First Kwangsi Division arrived here ! last night from Wuchow and left hurriedly for Shiukwan by the night trains. The Kwangsi troops came by twelve towboats.

Three Nanking Government aeroplanes made a surprise visit to Canton yesterday, at about noon, flying at a high altitude, and dropped some leaflets, addressed to the air offices of Canton. The three aeroplanes left in a northerly direction.
