Referring to my telegram of April 19, 3 p.m.,41 it is apparently true that Changchow has been captured. Refugees continue to flow into Amoy and International Settlement of Kulangsu. Four British submarines with mother ship arrived this afternoon en route to Weihai-wei for a visit of 3 days. Two Japanese destroyers to have left this morning have received orders to remain here. Americans at Tungan evacuating that place and coming to Kulangsu. My despatch No. 12, dated December 31, 1931, file No. 130.741 gives list of American citizens in this district with their addresses in the United States.
