Canton, May 24.—Revolutionists now believe that Canton probably will be made the capital of the provisional republican government they hope to set up in South China, and every ef- fort will, they declare, be made to gain foreign recognition. Talk of compromise is scouted by the more ardent revolutionists, who have little regard for General Lung, the military governor who declared the inde pendence of Kwantung only after| reat pressure had been brought to ear on him Representatives of the army, navy, police and commercial interests, as well as men representing all sorts of charitable and government organiza- | tions held a meeting recently at which the following resolutions were passed: “1, The object of Kwantung’s dec- laration of independence was to coms pel President Yuan Shi-kai to abdi- | cate. | “2. Yunnan, Kweichow, Kwangtung and Kuangsi are united into family, whose armies and peoples| shall work towards the preservation | of all.
