BORODIN IN CHINA.
LIBERATION OF HIS WIFE. SEARCH FOR THE FUGITIVES.
SHANGHAI, July 20. A strict censorship has prevented the real facts of the escape of Madam Borodin, wife of the Russian adviser to the Hankow Government, being disclosed. However, a telegram from Peking announcing the dismissal of the Chief Justice, lends colour to the report that the woman and the three captured ISovict couriers were not released on bail as originally announced, but were freed by the Chief Justice's order on the payment of a bribe of £20,000. The prisoners immediately took refuge in the legation quarter—they are believed to be in the German Legation. Chinese soldiers are patrolling the boundaries hoping to capture the fugitives should they emerge. Chinese secret agents in Shanghai are searching for Jacob Borodin, who is reported to have left Hankow ou a Russian steamer due here to-day. General Chiang Kai-shek is offering £IO,OOO reward for the capture of Borodin.
