A former resident of Kaifeng writes:—Your readers may interested in a fact reported in a letter just received from Kaifeng. Miss Sharp, recently released from captivity among the bandits, reported to a group of friends in Kaifeng that she had seen one of the bandits in a ricsha on the street since coming to Kaifeng. He was one of the leaders and she saw him constantly for 30 odd days when they were in captivity and so could hardly mistake him.
This appears to be confirmatory of a suspicion some have have held that the military and the bandits are on good terms. Kaifeng is carefully policed and no one can enter the city gates without giving an account of himself.
