Shanghai, Dec. 2 (1.20 p.m.).

A Japanese Naval spokesman to-day admitted the Chinese are still in possession of a small section of the Kiangyin forts, very close to the banks of the river in spite of the fact that the capture of this position was claimed yesterday and admitted by some Chinese authorities. The spokesman said the Chinese positions had been heavily bombed, including those on the north bank at the end of the river boom.

The Kiangyin survivors, however, are stubbornly fighting back.

LONDON'S REPORTS

MISINTERPRETATION

According to private messages reaching Hongkong early this morning, London was disturbed yesterday by reports, allegedly carried by the Domei News Agency, of an official warning to the Hongkong Government that unless it ceased to harbour anti-Japanese agitators it might find itself involved in the Sino- Japanese dispute.

The Japanese Consul-General in Hong- kong, Mr. K. Midzusawa, corrected this misinterpretation of events to-day when he was questioned by the Hongkong Telegraph.
