only one Paper Got the Concord
OnicerS' story.

London. Feb. 1.-THE report that some
of the officers of the United States
warship Concord had been captured by
Chinese while hunting near Chin Kiang
was received here by London news
agency from its agent at Shanghai.
Nothing OF the reported capture came
from any other source. The same
agency today prints a dispatch saying
the captured officers have been re-
leased. The fact that nothing at all
concerning the capture or release has
come through any other agency leads
to the BELIEF that the story OF the cap
ture was untrue.

The chinese Were Easiiy satisfied In
the Concord Anair.

Washington, Feb. mo news what
ever has been received by the state or
navy departments here concerning
the reported capture or subsequent re-
lease OF a hunting party from the
United States warahip Concord by Chi
nese near Chin kiang. officials are
therefore inclined 10 think the whole
affair has appeared In America In a
more serious light than at the place OF
think that II any Chinese were shot II
Is quite likely that the Chinese. follow
ing their usual custom, merely created
more or less disturbance over II in or
der to get pecuniary reparation for the
Injury done, and that this was capable
OF adjustment on onay terms.
