MOVE CAPT|VES
IN WILDERNESS
Threaten to Kill All Captives
if Troops Are Not With
drawn
ONE CAPTIVE ON PAROLE
Three Chinese Captives Re-
ported Thrown Over Preci-
pice as Warning
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Anxiety over The foreign captives
held in the Shantung hills by Chinese
bandits was heightened today when
word cached Tientsin from Tsaoch-
wang of a clash between troops of
the Chinese government and mem
bers of the outlaw band.
A detachment of bandits attempt
ing to join the main body at the
Paotzuku Mountain stronghold was
said to have been driven back after
a sharp fight. This incident, it is
feared, may add fuel to the smould-
ering vindictiveness of the bandits,
who already are said in an uneon-
firmed report to have hurled three
Chinese captives over a precipice as
warning. The brigands repeatedly
have threatened to kill all prisoners
if troops were not Withdrawn and
the bandits, in accord with the term.
drafted by their ehieftain, granted
immunity and enrolled in the ma
tional army.
Further advices from Tsaochwanl
confirmed the report that the bandit.
had moved their captives farther
back into the mountain wilderness
and communication with the cap
tiyes was becoming increasingly diff
cult.
A report reached Shanghai yester-
day that bandits entrenched back OF
Licheng were contemplating a sortle
to kidnap more foreigners who have
been at Tsaochwang negotiating for
the release of the captives.
Two trains OF coal from a mine
near Tsaochwang were seized by the
bandits. The 500 troops who were
guarding the coal were said to be
untrustworthy and likely TO so over
to the brigands.
The American consuls at Lincheng
and Tsaochwang have imposed a cen
sorship on all outgoing kilograms
and letters.
