Agitators Work in Secret

The Americans reported also that agitators had been working secretly in the city for some days before the attack and. apparently as result of this work, many nationalist troops n Changsha deserted their leaders.
 Thus far the state department does not know definitely the extent of damage to American property in Changsha. Some American mission buildings are known 10 have been destroyed and the famous institu ton. Yale-in-China. was reported to have been pillaged. Claims for indem- nity are expected to go forward as soon as the amount of the damage is established.
 Another effort has been made by American consul Richard r. Butrick at Hankow 70 persuade Americans in Hupeh, Human. Honan and Kiang- si provinces 10 evacuate to places of safety The rebels are particularly active in these provinces.
 The difficulty Of American envoys in keeping in touch with their coun- tryman in China is accenuated by the size Of the country. The Hanko~ consular district alone embraces 2,- 02n. .a9o square miles - two-thlrds the area of the continental United States -- and has a population esti- mated at iS5.4O0,oof. or about 6o,- O0o,6 more than this country.
