BANDITRY IN CHINA.
A TOWN LOOTED. SHANGHAI, December 16. Dispai ilies from Changsha declare that the Honan Province continues to suffer depredations from bandits. This time 3000 brigands, led by the notorious Chen-yen-teh and Wang-han-ying, captured the town of Chano and burned and looted houses, kidnapping four officials and over hundred residents, including women. Fortunately many inhabitants escaped during the bandit's furious pillaging and reported chaos. A magistrate was killed after being taken prisoner.—(A. and N.Z. Cable.)
