ITEM TSIN, June Z: (By The

has been received recently from

tions for release of the eight foreign
captives still being held by the Shan

everything is proceeding sa~tisfac-
torily."
The task of enrolling the bandits
in the Chinese army, which the out

release their prisoners, is said to in
volve more time than was at first
estimated. Until this is accomplished
there is said to be little probability
of developments.
It is understood that certain ir-
reconcilable brigands are still hold
ing out against enlistment in the ar

parent lucrative r of outlaw

ed, though forming only a small mi

as immediate guards over the cap
tiVes at Paotzuku stronghold.
Food supplies which were being
sent to the prisoners at Paotzuku
and recently miscarried are again
being delivered without difficulty, 1t
