BANDITS' REVENGE.
Englishman Murdered.
PEKING, Saturday.--The British
Embnassy is making strong representa
tions regarding the murder of Mfr.
Gareth Jones, former secretary to Mr.
D. Lloyd George. It is believed to
have been due to a misunderstanding
between Chinese magistrates negotiat
ing a ransom.
The mangistrate of Pnochang did not
inform his colleague in an adjoining
district that he was offering a ransom.
His colleague, whoan the bandits enter
ed his district, sent troops against
them, which, with the non-arrival of
the ransom money, caused the bandits
to suspect the negotiators' sincerity.
They accordingly. murdered Mr. Jones
out of revenge.
