WUHAN FUNK.

Rough on Boy Scouts.

Hankow, June 28.

There has been a favourable reaction among the general public to a telegram issued by General Tang Seng-chi in which he denounces the peasants' and workers' unions in Hunan and order their suppression. All the Hunanese troops, which come under the Command of General Tang Seng-chi, have left Wuhan for their own province.

A feeling prevails locally that the excesses of the labour unions will be curbed shortly. Both in official and public circles it is anticipated that there will be great changes both in the constitution of the local government and in its policy during the next few days.

The local boy scouts' union was ordered to disband to-day, the boys being ordered to return their sticks to their headquarters and forbidden to wear their uniforms except on special occasions.- Reuter.
