Firas and foremost was his trouble over the quantities of arms that were being muggled up river to his enemies in Szechuan. This was a constant soures of friction. Added to this were the con- stant brushes with the Custom House authorities over the opium cargoes Yang Sen was sending down river; the irrita tion over taxes and dues imposed on cigarettes and shipping which anchored in Wanhsien-ench ship that dropped anchor having to pay a due to Yang Sen of 2300 over and above the Custom's dues -and that he was irritated by the refusal of some ships to carry his men while all the time for months past, steamships flying various fags had been carrying his soldiers up ap down river and receiving payment for it.
The story as given to our representative is a most interesting one, and fills in the blanks, so to speak, which our previous reports on the Wanhsien episode of neces nity showed. In connection with, the seizing of the Wanhsien he heard that the Captain had declined to pay Fang Sen's dues because ca a previous trip be had carried Yang Sen's soldiers as pas sengers and no payment had been made. This is the story current in Wanhsien. On the Captain's refusal to pay, 200 men were put on board, and after that episode the Commander of H..S. Cock chafer took steps to try and insure the safety of the officers and men. This oc- curred on Friday, August 27th.
