Tangsi, Deo. 15.
At eleven o'clock this morning, band of robbers, roughly estimated. at thirty to fifty io number, entered here from the West. They disarmed the only gunboat guarding that side of the place and the five or six soldi quickly and Tangei was at the mercy of the robbers. They went to one of the largest pawnshops in the place and made off with all that was convenient to take. It was la the busy time of the day when the streets were crowded.
They fired their gane frequently and nothing was done to oppose them they fired at innocent people. Two dead and two wounded I have seen, and it is enid that there are more wounded.
The robbers did not stay long, and did not touch any of the stores or the pawnops.
Bat they left an impression upon us that is not likely soon to wear off, namely, the worthleeaness of the present police system and soldiers that posed to protect the citizens of this place.
