DANGER TO NANKING. [United Press Association. —By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.] (Received this day at 8 a.m.) . SHANGHAI, December 5. There was a distinctly uneasy feeling in Nanking following the troop mutiny at Pukow, the consensus of opinion being that the position of the Government is serious. The belief is held that the mutiny was part of a nationwide plot to overthrow the Chiang Kai-shek regime. The failure of Kuominchun to capture Hankow precipitated the trouble, the original intention of the plotters being to attack Nanking, whilst the Government troops occupied Honan, hut Fengunsiang’s defeat upset the scheme. The mutineers are pre* paring to make a stand, two hours train journey from Pukow, and at present are holding Tientsin-Pukow railway.
Numbering thirty thousand, Chiangkaishek is rushing the available troops from Nanking frontwards, including a special army personally maintained for the defence of Nanking, which hitherto has always been retained at the capital, thus indicating the seriousness of the situation.
