From Our Own Correspondent, 2 Tsingtao, Jan. 3.
Following on the robbery from the Yokohama Specie Bank branch office in the Customs House, and the daylight highway robbery outside the Railway Administration Building, comes the news of yet another outrage. On December 30, late in the evening of the same day on which the affair took place at the gate of the railway offices, seven Chinese, armed with revolvers, attacked a house near Ssufang. They tied up the whole family, who had been sleeping peacefully, and after tening them, decamped with all the money they could lay hands upon, amounting to $1,200.
To-day, information has reached us of a further robbery, which took place in the heart of the town, at six in the evening. Four Chinese entered a Chinese store in Weishen Street, and asked for an exchange of money. The clerk in charge brought out $500 for the purpose, upon which the supposed customers presented a revolver at the head of the young man, and, seizing the money, decamped.
