The Ambassador in China (Gauss) to the Secretary of State
[Received 5:27 p.m.]
2325. In Kunming’s airgram A–6, December 118 monthly political review, appears a statement that the trial of the bandits who attacked the convoy is drawing to a close and that the provincial chairman has [Page 726] promised that summary punishment will be meted out to the bandits and the delinquent magistrates (Embassy’s despatch 1765, November 3). This is the first information received by Embassy indicating that any of the bandits had been apprehended or that any forthright action was being taken in the matter. We are asking Kunming for a full report and will expect to telegraph the Department further in due course.
