Already tho threo .brigades of

have had two brushes with tho out
laws with fatalities on both sides.
Far above tho clouds in the
mountain prison a crisis Is belloved
to be approaching. Tho outlaws
are said to ho eager to make terms
but they fear tho promises of Pe
kin.
In what they declaro Is a final
effort to come to nn agreement
tho brigands Friday sent out a
spokesman accompanied by .T. B.

American prisoners.
Tho captives themselves are re
