June 9.
Two items of information relieved a more than usually dead day yesterday. The first was that 2,000 uniforms and $50,000 had: arrived for the bandits, and the second that the guard over the captives had been changed.
The comparative slowness of the completion of the agreement has been attributed to two causes, one of which has been removed by yesterday's news. The bandits, it was said, were not yet sure that the Government was keeping faith. An alternative reason was that the approval either of Gen. Wu Pei-fu or Gen. Tsao Kun was awaited. Whichever way it is, one of the prominent delegates has announced that the approval of Wu Pei-fu and Tsao Kun has been telegraphed for.
