Detained
GENERAL WAS KILLED
BY the Associated Press

Vladivostok, Sunday, Jan. %. -
Thirty eight Americans, members of
the railroad guard detachment, on duty
at Posolska, near Veryhne Udinsk, on
January 10 captured one of General
Semenoff's armored trains. The Cos
sack general commanding It was killed
and all the officers were captured.
This clash evidently was the one
reported last Thursday in advices to
Washington.
The train without provocation had
attacked the American detachment,
which was sleeping in box cars.
Two Americans OF the Twenty sew
enth Infantry, Sergeant Carl Robins. OF
Louisville, Tenn. and John Montgom-
cry, of Newry, Pa, were killed. Five
Russians were killed and six of their
officers. including General Bogomolitz,
and forty eight men were captured.
The Americans still hold the armored
train and their. prisoners. Their dis
position has not been decided on.
There are difficulties in communicar
ton with Colonel G. II. Morrow, COM
mander of the American guard, at
Veryhne- Udinsk, which is causing de-
lay in receiving details of the trouble
in the Transbaikal district. from which
the Americans are now evacuating.
Fired on With Machine Guns
On the evening of the 9th the COM
mander of the train arrested the sta
ton commandant at Veryhne- Udinsk,
but was forced to release him. Angered,
the commander got drunk and pro-
ceeded to Posolska and at ! o'clock
ran his armored train alongside the
boxcars in which the American detach-
ment was sleeping and without provo
cation opened fire with machine guns
on the men.
The American sergeant commanding
the detachment and the men under him
defended themselves. They rushed
from the train, scrambled over the ar =.
mored sides, routed the Russians and
captured the train and those who still
occupied it.
A signed statement of the captured
men states that the Russians fred
