Martial law is being enforced on the Chinese Eastern Railway, in consequence of the. frequency of acts of sabotage by Soviet employees. Several attempts by Communists to wreck trains aro reported. The wreckers attempted to remove portions of the track on the Harbin to Manchuli portion of the line, and dynamited other sections.
A large quantity of kerosene was found below a wooden bridge, and a locomotive shed was burnt down.
Foreign messages confirm tho reports of sabotage, and add that a freight train was blown up a few miles west of Harbin, and 14 cars wcro wrecked. Numerous other goods trains have been derailed. The Chinese delegates in the negotiations with Russia have, it is reported, received orders to return to Manchuli, in tho hope that the resumption of negotiations has not been entirely abandoned.
