FATE OF CAPTIVES.
Report of Killing Denied in House. British Official Wireless. RUGBY, May 8. Replying to a question in the House of Commons, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Sir John Simon, said that the work of co-ordinating the various efforts to effect the release of the British officers kidnapped from the steamer Nanehang had been entrusted to the head of the Provincial Government and the police at Mukden. No positive result had yet been achieved, he said, but he was informed that there was no truth in the report that one of the prisoners had been killed in the course of a fight between the band in whose hands the officers were and another band of brigands.
