The principal cause of the defeat the hospita again Tuesday after col of the" Yunnanese troops, now driven lapsing in his office and never fully out of Canton, was the treachery in reanre1d consciousness. the ranks of the Kwang-st troops,) who quit for a cash consideration, Considerable damage was done to buildings, owing to heavy gunfire. The. most revolting scenes Inside tho city were caused by tho Kwangtung troops. The defeated army leaders swore they would return to avenge the wrongs done today. Ten thousand Cantonese troops now are on the Canton side of the river, all wearing red neck ties. The success In capturing tho. city was - attributed to the leadership of Russian officers. Fighting begun at Canton- eight days - ago botween rival elements of, former followers of the late Dr. Sun Yat-Sen,. the south China leader. The Immediate cause of the trouble was tho efforts of the cantonese gov ernment to- dismiss the YunnaneHe army, former allies of the Canton ese under Sun Yat 1 Sen's regime. The dismissal was desired because 'the support of the army had become burdensome to the Cantonese govern ment. Yunnanese generals under General Yang Hsi-Mln and Lau Chun-Wan and. their troopB had complete con trol of Canton. Cantonese troops under General Hsu Ch'Uhg-Chi, reinforced by Gene ral Chu Pel-Tak, attacked the Yun nanese occupying Canton with the object of freeing . the city from their, rule. : Today's dispatches . i , ,u, ndlcato this, effort has been successful. , i . .
