MANCHURIA CONFLICT
BANDITS IN MUKDEN INCENDIARIES AT WORK ARSENAL IN FLAMES RADIO STATION SEIZED JAPANESE IN ACTION By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received August 29, 6.5 p.m.) TOKIO, Aug. 29 A message from Mukden, Manchuria, states that incendiary fires were discovered at midnight in several places in the city, including the arsenal and the aerodrome. Some aeroplanes were destroyed, it is believed, by emissaries of Marshal Chang Hsuch-liang. Three hundred bandits are practically surrounding the wireless station at Paitayeng, a north-eastern suburb of Mukden. There has been severe fighting and several Japanese have been killed, including a lieutenant. Armoured cars are being rushed from Mukden to the relief of the troops. According to the latest reports the arsenal is still burning. Fighting was still in progress at 6 a.m. and the bandits had captured the wireless station. This was the scene of the first clash in September. The bandits are armed with machineguns and other modern weapons. •
