In grave danger of disease, due to
the urisanitary conditional existing
in their mountain fortress, accord-
ing to reports brought out by
mease ngc is.
A mcsHage from Major Allen, one
of the United States Army offl*
cvr« held, said the Runitutlon con-
dition wan "appalling.”
The white prisoners, he said, are
mirxd in with 100 Chinese captives,
who are not accuntomed to cJeanll-
nesR Dysentery has already appear-
ed among the Chinese.
Advices from Lin Cheng say that
the Government troops surround-
ing the bandits have been with-
drawn five miles, which would per-
mit the outlaws to take their cap-
tives down Into Temple Valley, a
much ( leaner place than the moun-
tain top.
The bandits failed to carry out
th* Ir threat to eccute two prlsonera
Tuesday night, courier* Raid. As a
result, the rcprestfitIves of the pow-
ers and the Chinese
alike are convinced
are bluffing when
threats anil arc disposed to prevent
rescue of the captives by force.
