CHENG-TUF FIGHT
Arrange Armistice; Situa-
ton Critical; Foreign Mis-
sionaries Besieged.

Cheng Tu, China. April 23.-Fferce
fighting has broken out in the streets
here between Sze-Chuen and Tunnan
troops. The outbreak is the climax to
the friction between the two parties
which has steadily increased since the
Yunnanese forces entered Cheng Tu
last April. The direct cause of the ex-
pIosion was the attempt of the Mill
tary governor OF Sze-Chun, who is a
Yunnanese. to disband the provincial
troops and strengthen his grip on the
province.
The fighting started on Wednesday
night and continued all next day and
night Many houses were burned and
trenches and barricadeS were con-
structed by both parties The British,
