R., Nov, 24, — Authentie reports reaching here from Harbin state that the \Chinese and white guards in Man- churia are inflieting frightful eon- ditions upon Soviet citizens in pris- ons, causing many deaths. One ease is certified of the death of a former worker on the Chinese Eastern Railway, Soviet citizen, Zjuzjura, who died in the prison camp at Sumpei. SHANGHAI, Noy. 24. — Flatly contradictory accounts reach here of what is going on in Manchuria as regards a settlement of the seizure of the Chinese Eastern. One ver- sion has it that Chang Hgueh-liang, Japan’s “governor” of Manchuria, is just about to propose direet nego- tiations with the Soviet Union be- cause of the wreck and ruin Man- churia is suffering by the isolation from the closing all traffic through the Soviet frontiers. & Another report states that Chang Worker-Peasant Revolution, the As- sociation of Revolutionary Cuban | Emigrants, the I. L. D., and the Japanese Workers’ Alliance, sent a telegram to Machado demanding the immediate release of Keechang and 23 other Chinese workers held on a and death—to China. To this, Ricardo Herrera, Ma- chado’s secretary, cabled a reply |that Machado, being informed of the protest, “has ordered an inves- | tigation.” But not only are the Chinese workers, whose arrest oc- curred at the instigation of the Havana Kuomintang, still held and | still marked for deportation, but a |native Cuban Negro, Santiago Brooks, has been assassinated by |Machado’s paid bloodhounds.
